Talk:History of Neverwinter

Does anyone know when exactly the Many-Arrows orcs occupied the River District of Neverwinter? The article currently says around 1466 DR, which I've been using in a number of associated articles, but now I look at the source, there's just nothing to corroborate that.

The source is the Neverwinter Campaign Setting page 120, set in 1479 DR. It gives two statements. One reads: "And in the past twenty-plus years, orcs have returned to plague the area." which sets a date of before 1459 DR for the start of orc resurgence in the Sword Coast North, but not for the invasion.

The very next sentence is "Recently, King Obould XVII of the Kingdom of Many-Arrows sent a vanguard to explore options in Neverwinter." Recently seems like a year or a few before. And that seems to better fit somewhat settled truce in the NCS and the active conflict going on in the Neverwinter MMORPG, not a decade or so of habitation.

I couldn't find any other sources for this. Any other ideas out there? BadCatMan (talk) 12:08, 23 July 2021 (UTC)


 * The last Many-Arrows civil war is apparently 1450 to 1460 DR (FRCG p. 149), which fits with the orcs being resurgent in the area in the 1450s. Neverwinter elevates Vansi's over-reach into "open rebellion" against Many-Arrows. This doesn't contradict, as Neverwinter is set slightly after Neverwinter Campaign Setting, which is slightly after the FRCG. There's a progression of events in 1479 DR.


 * I'm going to go with the late 1470s DR and will change this. BadCatMan (talk) 13:35, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
