The Complete FR Novel, Comic and Game Timeline Part 2

BladeDancerBladeDancer Member Posts: 477
Here is Part 2 of the list of licensed Forgotten Realms novels, comic books, video games and tabletop games that have a confirmed time frame, and where they fit in the continuity of the Forgotten Realms. Last time I began way back in the beginning, at -30000 DR to 1368 DR. Now, I am going to start from 1369 DR and end somewhere in the 1400's.


Here is a link back to part 1 if you missed it and want to find it

------
"Heroes of Baldur's Gate" 5e tabletop adventure game (By James Ohlen and Jesse Sky) (1369 DR) To make this unofficial adventure part of the chronology, I like to assume that this story takes place in the unspecified amount of days Gorion's Ward was in jail for a murder he/she didn't really commit.

"Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear" ends in early 1369 DR

Chapters 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33 and the epilogue of "Cormyr: A Novel" (1369 DR)

"Fire is Fire", (Best of the Realms, Book III Story X) (Ches 1369 DR)

The story of the novel "Star of Cursrah" ends in 1369 DR, including "The Shadow Stone" and "The Spine of the World"

"Sea of Swords" of the Paths of Darkness (By R.A. Salvatore) (begins in 1369 DR) Fun fact: In the first Baldur's Gate game, if Gorion's Ward meets Drizzt and no hostilities are made (I'm talking about all of you who decided to attack him to steal his scimitars!), he tells Gorion's Ward that he is on his way to Icewind Dale. In this novel, Drizzt's opening monologue expresses how happy he is to be back in Icewind Dale, neatly tying in his brief appearance in the Baldur's Gate game.

"Into The Nest Of Vipers" (Dungeon Magazine #75 Adventure) (By Matthew G. Adkins, artwork by Fred Rawles, cartography by Craig Zipse) (1369 DR) This adventure is set in the Vast.

"Rising Tide" of The Threat from the Sea Trilogy (By Mel Odom) (1369 DR)

"Under Fallen Stars" of The Threat from the Sea Trilogy (By Mel Odom) (1369 DR)

"The Sea Devil's Eye" of The Threat from the Sea Trilogy (By Mel Odom) (story begins in 1369 DR)

"Silverfall: Stories of the Seven Sisters" (By Ed Greenwood) (1369 DR)

"The Glass Prison" (By Monte Cook) (1369 DR)

"Pool of Radiance: The Ruins of Myth Drannor" video game and novel (The game was developed by Stormfront Studios, playable on PC Windows) (Novel version written by Carrie Bebris) (1369 DR)

"The Black Pits 2: Gladiators of Thay" (A side game in BG2:EE developed by Beamdog) (sometime before Mirtul 1369 DR, many months after The Black Pits and apparently after Siege of Dragonspear) The story will not make any sense if you are using a completely different group from the ones you used in the prequel

"Crucible: The Trial of Cyric the Mad" of The Avatar Series (By Troy Denning) (1369 DR)

"Master of Chains" ends in 1369 DR

"Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn" the game and novel (The game was originally developed by BioWare, the Enhanced Edition version is developed by Overhaul Games of Beamdog, playable on PC, Android and with BG:EE in the console releases) (Novel version written by Philip Athans) (game version begins in Mirtul 1369 DR) In the game version, Drizzt and his companions appear in the game during Chapter 6, which is problematic in regards to canonical events because in 1369 DR, they are still going through the "Sea of Swords" novel's story by the time SoA starts. They are far north beyond Neverwinter, so they are nowhere near Amn in any month in 1369 DR. The only way Drizzt and his companions come to Amn and meet Gorion's Ward is if the final half of SoA and all of ToB all takes place in 1370 DR, after Sea of Swords ends and before The Hunter's Blades Trilogy begins since SoA begins on Mirtul of 1369 DR, and there are tons of side quests to kill time on until the year ends and locations like Athkatla and Trademeet are further apart than the game depicts, so it is possible. Plus, if you talk to one of the town criers in Athkatla, they mention exiled Amnian families coming back to Amn in the Year of the Tankard (1370 DR) (Book 2 of the Lands of Intrigue sourcebook states this event happens in the first month of 1370) even if the journal that keeps up with your progress on side quests and the main quests is still in 1369 DR, which means the Shadows of Amn storyline is supposed to extend to 1370 DR, rather than SoA and ToB being crammed in 1369 DR, which is impossible.

"Scream of Stone" of The Watercourse Trilogy (By Philip Athans) (story begins in 1369 DR)

"Hard Choices" (Realms of the Deep Story I) (1369 DR)

"Fire is Fire" (Realms of the Deep Story II) (1369 DR)

"Messenger to Serôs" (Realms of the Deep Story III) (1369 DR)

"The Place Where Guards Snore at their Posts" (Realms of the Deep Story IV; The Best of the Realms, Book II Story XIII) (1369 DR)

"Lost Cause" (Realms of the Deep Story V) (1369 DR)

"Changing Tides" (Realms of War Story IX) (By Mel Odom) (Flamerule 1369 DR)

"The Burning Chalice" (Halls of Stormweather Story I) ends. (1369 DR)

"Honest and True": A Ruha and Malik story (Dragon magazine issue # 245) (1369 DR)

"Pool of Radiance: Attack on Myth Drannor" tabletop adventure game (By Sean K. Reynolds) (1369 DR) This game takes place after "Pool of Radiance: The Ruins of Myth Drannor", but it can be taken as a stand alone or tie-in story.

"The Honor of Two Swords" (Dragon magazine issue # 260) (1369 DR)

"The Innkeeper's Secret" (Dragon magazine issue # 266) (1369 DR)

"The Shadow Stone" ends in 1369 DR

"Sword of the Dales" of the Randal Morn Trilogy (a tabletop adventure game) (By Jim Butler) (1369 DR)

"The Secret of Spiderhaunt" of the Randal Morn Trilogy (a tabletop adventure game) (By Jim Butler) (1369 DR)

"The Return of Randal Morn" of the Randal Morn Trilogy (a tabletop adventure game) (By Jim Butler) (1369 DR)
------
"Sea of Swords" of the Paths of Darkness series ends in 1370 DR

"Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn" game version ends in 1370 DR

"Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal" game and novel (The game was developed by BioWare as an expansion story to Shadows of Amn, the Enhanced Edition version is made by Overhaul Games of Beamdog) (Novel version written by Drew Karpyshyn) (Game: 1370 DR, Novel: 1368 DR???)
Confusing, isn't it? Why is the novel version set in 1368 DR? I'll explain, because I've read it. The prologue of the ToB novel is set in 1368 DR, but after the prologue ends, the author somehow forgot to make it clear that the rest of the story takes place in the "present day", therefore the continuity of the novel version Baldur's Gate series is seriously thrown out of order, Throne of Bhaal is before Shadows of Amn even though it should be the other way around, because Jaheira gets killed off by Abazigal, and Imoen gets killed off by Sendai, and in SoA, Jaheira and Imoen are alive, except for Jaheira, she had been recently revived from getting killed by Sarevok towards the end of the BG1 novel.

"The Magehound" 1st book of the Counselors & Kings Trilogy (Written by Elaine Cunningham) (1370 DR)

"The Sea Devil's Eye" of The Threat from the Sea Trilogy also ends in 1370 DR

"Sea of Fallen Stars" (a tabletop game campaign expansion) (By Steven E. Schend) (1370 DR) The events of this tabletop game include and overlap some of the events from "Under Fallen Stars" and "The Sea Devil's Eye", this game is set after those novels, revealing some spoilers of plot elements from those novels, so before playing this game, read the novels first.

"The City of Ravens" of The Cities series (Written by Richard Baker) (1370 DR)

"Beyond the High Road" (Written by Troy Denning) (1370 DR)

"The Thousand Orcs" of The Hunter's Blades Trilogy (Written by R.A. Salvatore) (1370 DR)

"For Duty & Deity" tabletop adventure game (By Dale Donovan) (Marpenoth to Nightal 1370 DR) This adventure is very important because it involves the rescue of Waukeen

"The Book Dragon" of Realms of The Dragons 2 story #7 (By Jim Pitrat) (Mid Hammer, 1372 DR)

"Into the Dragon's Lair" 3rd edition tabletop adventure game (By Sean K. Reynolds and Steve Miller) (1372 DR) This adventure takes place after The Goblin War of 1370-1371 DR, so Cormyr in this game is still in bad shape after the war

"Neverwinter Nights" (A PC game developed by BioWare, playable on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Enhanced Edition developed by Overhaul Games of Beamdog, playable on PC and current gen consoles) (Tarsakh 1372 DR)

"The Sorcerer" of the Return of the Archwizards Trilogy (By Troy Denning) (Flamerule 1372 DR) This book likely is set two months after Neverwinter Nights because the ruler of Neverwinter, Nasher Alagondar is in this book, and the Wailing Death plague began in Neverwinter on Tarsakh, two months before the story of this novel

"Dissolution" (By Richard Lee Byers), "Insurrection" (By Thomas M. Reid), "Condemnation" (By Richard Baker), "Annihilation" (By Philip Athans), "Extinction" (By Lisa Smedman) and "Resurrection" (By Paul S. Kemp) of the War of the Spider Queen series (all begin and end in 1372 DR)

"Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide" (An expansion of NWN developed by Floodgate Entertainment and BioWare, Enhanced Edition developed by Overhaul Games of Beamdog) (1372 DR) (For story continuity purposes, the main character of this story should not be the one from the main campaign)

"Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark" (The third expansion for NWN developed by BioWare, Enhanced Edition developed by Overhaul Games of Beamdog) (1372 DR) (For story continuity purposes, the main character in this expansion should be the same one from SoU, and this expansion's story takes place sometime during or possibly after the War of the Spider Queen novels since the Silence of Lolth period was still in effect)

"Black Wolf" ends in the month Mirtul

"Sons of Gruumsh" tabletop adventure game (By Christopher Perkins) (1372 DR)

"Demon Stone" (Developed by Stormfront Studios and Zono Inc., story written by R.A. Salvatore, playable on Windows PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox) (1373 DR) Although this game's realm year isn't exactly confirmed, this game likely takes place sometime after The Hunter's Blades Trilogy and "The Orc King"'s prologue and epilogue and sometime before "The Pirate King" novel's story, and I have fairly strong evidence to believe this. Rannek, one of the main characters in this game, was briefly mentioned in "The Two Swords" as a member of the Riders of Nesmé, and the city Nesmé was overrun by an army of trolls in 1370 DR during the book's story, and Rannek was the only survivor of the Riders of Nesmé. In this game during the stand at Mithral Hall with Zhai, Illius, Thibbledorf and Drizzt against the troll army, Rannek found the chance to avenge Nesmé and his fallen friends who was members of the Riders of Nesmé by slaying the troll king.

The synopsis of Stardeep claims Kiril lost everything to stop the traitor. I'm not sure if the traitor is the same one Kiril helped Raidon and Delphe defeat yet, but it is possible.

    Nice! I've long maintained a spreadsheet with the timelines and other info on every single FR novel (but not anything else). The only one for which I don't have a sure timeline date is "Neversfall" (Citadels book 1), and I don't see it here either. My guess has always been 1374 DR but I'd love confirmation so my list will be complete!

    @kanisatha Neversfall is one of those books that don't have a confirmed timeline. I could make an educated guess, but I can't yet, because I know nothing about its story, sorry!

    Wierd. Was there ever a reason given for why?

    Also wanted to add, if you're missing any other FR novel timelines let me know. I should have them.

    As far as I can tell, no reason I could describe. On FR Wiki, there is a decent list of FR novels with unknown timelines.

    @kanisatha I put some thought into it, and I think that Neversfall is somewhere between -600 DR and -246 DR. I haven't seen any evidence to prove it, it is just a random hunch.

    Wow. You feel it is set that far in the past? A very interesting hypothesis, @BladeDancer. I don't want to go re-read the book, but it would be interesting to see if there are any references to specific things, events or people in the book that could help nail down at least a timeline range even if not a specific year.

    I think so. I haven't read the book yet or bought the audiobook of it yet, so it's just a temporary hypothesis. I tried studying the summary of the book but I can't find anything concrete that hints the time frame.

    Made a few more updates, primarily in the year 1369 DR.

    Figuring out the timelines of some of the tabletop games are anything but easy.

    I've added more tabletop games into the timeline after further research, like "Pool of Radiance: Attack on Myth Drannor", "Sons of Gruumsh", "Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave", "Fall of Frostsilver", "Shadowdale: The Scouring of the Land", and "Anauroch: The Empire of Shade", and I've written some interesting details about the novel "Sea of Swords", which connects it to the first Baldur's Gate game, and I've written something interesting about Shadows Of Amn. Whew!

    Made a few more updates here, too

    Is there any way to highlight updates so they can be picked out from the older material?
  • BladeDancerBladeDancer Member Posts: 477
    Yes, sorry, I try to minimize how much I type, there's a limit to how many letters I can have.

    I've added the unofficial tabletop adventure "Heroes of Baldur's Gate" to the list even though WoTC had no involvement in the adventure's development.

    I've added the NWN premium modules: "Pirates of the Sword Coast" and "Wyvern Crown of Cormyr" to the list since I just recently purchased those modules over Beamdog.
