Talk:Valashar (kingdom)

Date issues
The dates around Valashar are definitely messed up, I found three different sets. I summarised the issue at Ilbratha. There I picked the 375–376 DR dates for the conflict, as it was more consistent with Cormyrean history. You're more familiar with the Shoon & Tethyrian history, so I look forward to your conclusion. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 10:06, June 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * I came to the same conclusion, FWIW. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:57, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Hashimashadoo, what is your source for the resolution of the dating problems here? I'll need it for a few articles. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:57, June 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, to start with, Lands of Intrigue is the older source and new lore trumps old lore. There's also a scroll on the Keep where Brian Cortijo, George Krashos, Steven Schend and Brian James all weigh in on the topic, coming to the same conclusion -hashtalk 02:49, June 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the latest source, The Grand History of the Realms, muddled the issue further by giving two separate dates for the same event. :( Okay, thanks for the link, I'll update the notes on other pages later. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:23, June 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's not surprising. I almost think that that source is not worth our time. It's not really a primary source, and it did a horrible job at error-checking.


 * Anyhow, now we can all use Valashar dates for any articles where this issue comes up again. There's no point having cut-and-pasted text all over the place saying the same thing. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:57, June 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that Candlekeep link Hash. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:57, June 13, 2016 (UTC)
