TIMELINE 1374 DR - Imbrar II becomes king of Impiltur. 1385 DR - The Spellplague, the Year of Blue Fire. Imbrar II, king of Impiltur, dies without an heir, thus ending the Heltharn dynasty, and the monarchy in Impiltur.
1482 - Ao begins the Second Sundering, as a way to restore the worlds of Toril and Abeir after the ravages of the Spellplague. 1484 - Stories begin to travel across the Realms that the gods are bestowing supernatural gifts on a Chosen few. 1485 DR - The Great Rain begun over the Sea of Fallen Stars at the start of autumn. 1486 DR - The Great Rain falls for several months, slowly refilling the Sea of Fallen Stars which revitalizes former port cities and the island of Ilighon. Earthmotes begin falling from the sky. 1487 DR - The Second Sundering ends[2]. Many deities previously thought gone have managed to make a comeback by the conclusion of this event: Mystra[2], Helm[5], Mask[6], Lathander[7], Bhaal[8], Eilistraee[9][10], Vhaeraun[11] are known examples. Abeir begins to re-separate from Toril in the spring, heralding volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The process is completed by the fall.[2] Rumors abound about that chasms created by the Spellplague are disappearing.[12] People and lands thought lost during the Spellplague begin to reappear.[12] The winter of this year is longer than any other recorded in the Realms. The Weave is almost fully repaired.
1488 DR - The solstices and equinoxes do not align correctly. Faithful prayers to the gods for understanding and mercy appear to go unheard. The gods only seem to send messages through their Chosen. 1489 DR - 5e start.
1491 DR - Many deities no longer grant resurrection spells, except to rare exceptions.
ADVENTURE BOOK TIMELINE 1480's DR - Tyranny of Dragons. Likely 1485/6, canonically 1489, inconsistency is Who Fuckin Knows. 1489 DR - Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. Tyranny does not mention the Rime, but who knows. 1491 DR - Princes of the Apocalypse, Lost Mine of Phandelver. 1492 DR - Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Candlekeep Mysteries. 1492 - 1494 DR - Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, which is either 1482 or 84 depending on what source you ask. 1496 DR - Acquisitions Incorporated.
Aside from being the date identified in Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden (pp. 5), the fact that the Everlasting Rime is not mentioned in other materials released for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition which mention or visit Icewind Dale during or after 1489 DR (such as the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, The Rise of Tiamat and Storm King's Thunder) suggests that the Rime was meant to end in 1489 DR.
Canon material does not provide a year for the Tyranny of Dragons storyline, but in a forum post, Greg Marks stated it was set in 1489 DR. However, the events of the Tyranny of Dragons are discussed in the novel Archmage, which is set in 1485/1486 DR and has events that necessarily put it after The Rise of Tiamat. Since this inconsistency has not been cleared up, this wiki will use the vague term "1480s DR" for events related to this storyline, though it is most likely no latter than 1486 DR.
Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but Christopher Perkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1492 DR. Corroborating this, Dragon Heist page 20 refers to events of Death Masks (set in 1491 DR) as being "last year". Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1492 DR for events related to this sourcebook and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage (which is referenced on pages 5 and 98 of Dragon Heist).
Canon material provides two distinct dates for the events described in Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus: the adventure itself, described in chapters 1 through 5, takes place "fifty years" after 1444 DR (1494 DR), according to events mentioned in pages 7 and 47, while the Baldur's Gate Gazetteer describes the city as of 1492 DR (p. 159). It is possible that the designers made an approximation for "fifty years", even though it is stated in an infernal contract. The lead writer for Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus later confirmed that the adventure takes place in 1492 DR, and the sequel to the adventure, Baldur's Gate III, also claims that the current year is 1492 DR in multiple places.
basically: family legacies, and examining and defining the relationships thereof.
will being a moonblade from an Old Family and wanting nothing to do with it, taking a symbol of eugenics and "evil in the name of good" and using it to actually fucking help people
riyn's family doing horrible things in the name of preserving their legacy, but riyn wants to break the cycle and be something new + being adopted/acknowledged as not-Beatrice's family via turning into a genasi
also
what happens when you're playing the wife who was supposed to get fridged for sad manpain in a fiction story
Eilraste (pronounced "ail + wrasse", no stressed syllables) still torn between having a common-ified last name or not, because if i do then i need to look up terminology for okay what's "wraith hunters" in elf nerd speak or some shit, but I love me some apostrophes so Eilraste Lara'alytha as the full temp
