Template:ShatteredStatue-Time/doc

This template is used after any date given in an article that is based on material from The Shattered Statue adventure module.

Background
'Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in The Shattered Statue'', but through extensive research this wiki has estimated a date. The explanation for this date is divided into three points:''' (1) Page 16 of The Shattered Statue (February, 1988) describes the destruction of Phlan by dragons as having occurred "several years ago." Since the conflict "Dragon Run" did not exist until The Moonsea, this has to be referring to the Flight of the Dragon (1356 DR), which was introduced in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set. (2) The Savage Frontier (August, 1988), is set in 1358 DR and has Amelior Amanitas refer to its events in past tense. (3) Page 18 of The Shattered Statue describes the Cult of the Dragon as having long had no presence in Volkumburgh Vale, but TSR Jam 1999 has the cult re-establishing themselves there in 1359 DR. (4) In conclusion, all together this info suggests that The Shattered Statue takes place in 1358 DR.
