Hey, I was forming the plotline for a bit of a story, when it occurred to me that some of the main characters I was using were paladins and priests of Tyr. Literally, the story was to occur right around 1384 and 1385. I was wondering, do we actually have dates for when Tyr and Helm fell as compared to when Mystra fell? I'm about to go grab up the novels with the succubus in it to see if dates were posted, because the Grand History didn't really specify. I'm wondering if they had dates at the heads of the chapters (betting not though). I'm more worried about the date of Tyr falling and Mystra falling than Helm.

Hmmm, I may not need specific dates at all. Its been several years since I'd read that series, but Mystra died at the end of the second book and Tyr was at least still around for the third. So, his Faerunian clergy for the most part wouldn't be affected until after the outbreak of the spellplague.

Sleyvas, I don't think we have exact dates. Also, time flows differently in the various planes, so there's a certain amount of gray-area/flexibility.

Keep the order of events consistent (fall of Helm in 1384, "death" of Mystra in 1385, abdication of Tyr sometime later), and you're probably sailing fine.
