Setting's place in general Lore timeline
Double the thread's name. Where exactly is the server in the Faerunian timeline? Before\after the Spellplague or whatever. I've not found any obvious references to it, except the server's own timeline. Apologies, if i've missed something obvious in a visible place. Taking into account the fact, that there's an althar to Azuth.. It might be well before the aforementioned event.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Setting's place in general Lore timeline
We're in 1372 DR. Anything that happened after that time is in the future for our characters, unless it has been explicitly part of an event that happened in game on Arelith.
Re: Setting's place in general Lore timeline
And, I suppose, the Server's timeline is separate? Like, we won't witness the Spellplague after 12 in-game years?Lorkas wrote:We're in 1372 DR.

Correct, Arelith has been stuck in 1372 DR for over a hundred years now, none of the outside events progress, for all intents and purposes, the archipelago is stuck in a time bubble.telmarael wrote:And, I suppose, the Server's timeline is separate?

To be suuuuper precise, we're after the resurrection of Bane, but before the silence of Lolth.

Re: Setting's place in general Lore timeline
Don't worry too much about it. Yeah it's good to have a vauge jist of what is what, but it can be fun to learn much of it In Game. I mean - if you're playing a human fighter, why would they know about the ancient histories of the elves anyway?
This too shall pass.

Best way to learn is to do what I did make a elf who washed up at cordor and forgot every thing she once thought commented knowledge.
Had to learn almost everything. Was a great time to rp. And learned a lot.

For the backlog of lore and ideas of where to look for more this might help. Small bites. Digestible.
