1343 DR


 * An orc horde attacks Silverymoon and Everlund. In a battle that will come to be known as the Battle of Turnstone Pass, the Moonlight Men mercenaries manage to slay 4,000 orcs at Turnstone Pass before they themselves are decimated. Only six survive, including Mintiper Moonsilver, but the mercenaries are lauded for saving both settlements.


 * Mintiper Moonsilver is blamed for writing a particularly offensive drinking song that becomes extremely popular with surly gnomes. It is titled "Ga Nomes" and has been the cause of bar-brawls involving the Forgotten Folk ever since.
