How about this from page 10 of the Rise of Tiamat adventure: "Tiamat has long threatened Faerun, often appearing in lands such as Chessenta and Unther to drive mortals to worship her awesome power. Although mortals don’t know it, the end of the Sundering and the Era of Upheaval also put an end to such direct meddling by the gods. Without powerful magic and mortal aid, Tiamat cannot travel from her home in Avernus into the world."
That makes it pretty clear that the Tyranny of Dragons adventures take place after the Sundering has finished, don't you think? |

| Good find. Pushed the 'Tyranny' related infos into 1489DR (with the exception of the white dragons from RotK collecting treasure). Does the Adventurer's League Website put a name to the year 1489? |

The <FR Calendar Tool> does: "The Year of the Warrior Princess".
Can you say "girl power"? |

That seems to be the case ^^
But that's not all: If Last year was 1489DR then 1490 will bring us the Return of the 'Star Walker' and who is returning this year to the cinemas? Luke Skywalker! And 1491 DR seems to forshadow an Avengers/ Forgotten Realms Crossover: Year of the Scarlet Witch
Added all the missing names from the roll of Years and put them into bold Format. Thanks for pointing me to the Calendar Tool :) |

| Great to see changes that are reversing the effects of the Spellplague. I hope Chondath, Ssepech, Hlondeth, Unther, Mulhorand and (Crinti) Dambrath returns to the Realms. These places were really cool and filled with intrigue. |

Thanks a lot for this!
Just one question! Any idea of when the Darkening over Luruar stops? In the beginning of 1485?
Thank you! |

| Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I still haven't read Rise of the King) but I think the Darkening fell with the Demon Weave which was dissolved in the autumn of 1485. |

The Darkening over the Silver Marches dissolved in a midsummer night of the Year 1485. Most present believe that the goddess Mielikki worked through Drizzt to end the Darkening (VotID Pg 343):)
I'm still working on it, currently data-mining Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf, Spinner of Lies, Fire in the Blood and Spellstorm, but please be patient with me ;) |

I know it's jumping on the band-wagon at some level, but I have to say this is a phenomenal effort compiling the Timeline, especially since the jury is still out on whether or not we'll get an official 5th Edition FRCS sourcebook to work from, or have to rely on the incremental release of adventure modules.
Thanks Lirdolin. |

Hello all,
Some new updates from Spellstorm, Fire in the Blood, Spinner of Lies, Archmage, Vengence of the Iron Dwarf, Prince of Ravens and Princes of the Apocalypse.
I would especially like to direct your Attention to the Years 1485 and 1487 as a have moved the events of Tyranny of Dragons and Legacy of the Crystal Shard to these years because of information contained in 'Archmage'.(see Notes) |

I don't know if you plan to include some of the (very few) info from Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, but I add them here:
1482 DR:
the return of Bhaal is confirmed to happens this year.
1484 DR:
Ireabor is struck by an earthquake.
Locusts afflicted Amn. "...tales began to spread of individuals [...] so-called Chosen [...]
at the root of the conflicts that grip the land..."
1485 DR:
Icewind Dale: the Chosen of Auril foments war with Ten-Towns and was defeated.
Anauroch: the Bedine rebelled.
Sylverymoon: the events you placed in 1484 happen this year instead.
"...Throughout much of Faerun, the winter of 1487 and 1488 lasted longer than any on record. The solstices and equinoxes had somehow drifted. Later seasons followed suit, with each starting and ending later than expected..."
1488 Sembia dissolved in a collection of city-states, as does the League of Silver Marches

You could also add this, from Ed, giving some details on Eilistraee's and Vhaeraun's return:
''After Flamerule 1489, Vhaeraun and Eilistraee are separate deities with the same powers and portfolios they had before 1375, but a new understanding, respect, and even friendship for each other. Some of their followers still war with each other, but the two deities do not. Thus far, Eilistraee’s teachings after the Sundering are the same as before the Sundering.'' |

Thank you for this excellent resource. I'm using this chronology to base my campaign on.
How well is the timeline holding up with the Homecoming novels and the Rage of Demons storyline? |

| I remember Perkins saying something about if you take the events of the Homecoming novels to be canonical, then the Rage of Demons storyline would start around late 1485. Otherwise, early 1490s. |

Guess why I'm getting a headache by putting together this timeline...
Thanks to Irennan and Arioch for the infos :) already added most of them to the timeline.
Although I had hoped that the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide would pinpoint some of the events, I get even more confusing data. Some of the years given there, compared to the Salvatore novels are obviously wrong. And some novels seem to not have happend yet, as the status quo on the Moonshae Isles is still the same as before 'Rose of Sarifal'.
And Elminster hints somewhere in Spellstorm (clearly after 1487 DR) that Tiamat is up to something right now on the Sword Coast, although the happenings within the Salvatore books again indicate otherwise.
And Archmage ends on the 15th Nightal 1486 DR. (Pg.356) |

| Is Adventurers League stuff considered canon for the likes of this timeline? If so there is a bunch of additional info and dates in some of the stuff they have put out. |

Idk what ''Rose of Sarifal'' brought, but the SCAG is set somewhere between 1489 DR and 1492 DR. If something contradicts novels with events that happened before, I think that it's safe to assume that what happened in them has been reverted by the Sundering, since the book ''details'' the status quo of the FR.
About the difference between the dates in novels and those in the SCAG, those seem to be a continuity problem. They surely need some traffic cop to take care of this, as such an error happened as soon as like 1 year into 5e... |

I'm happy if that novel is being officially ignored & excised from canon. |
