 * Grintharke, the balor ruler of Hellgate Keep, dies fighting seven Evereskan Elves in his Keep's gladiatorial arena through use of the artifact Shattering Swords of Coronal Ynloeth. He manages to take down three of them with him, while the other four eventually die fighting the other demons in the keep, with at least one of them killing his vrock lieutenant. Many more demons would die that night through in-fighting, each wanting to assume control.
 * Pawldo of Lowhill, the halfling hero of the Moonshae Isles.


 * Lliira, the Goddess of Joy, sends a prophet to every temple of Waukeen announcing that she will act as regent for Waukeen's portfolio, listen to prayers, and grant spells to the worshipers of Waukeen until the Merchant's Friend returns. Many of the Golden Lady's followers interpret this to mean their goddess is dead.

 * After the Silver-Hafted Axe is retrieved by firbolgs from the dwarf settlement of Cambro, Dierdre Kendrick helps them free Grond Peaksmasher from his prison. Rather than helping Dierdre's master Talos, Grond joins with the Earthmother against him.


 * Supporting their invasion of Rashemen, the Red Wizards of Thay melt glaciers in the Icerim Mountains. This leads to terrible flooding in Immilmar and Mulsantir, which the Witches handle.


 * The Waterdhavians ships barred from Helmsport sail north, landing at Maztapan Island. From there, they found a colony called New Waterdeep near the Gulf of Kultaka. The Waterdhavian colonists negotiate and trade with the Kultakans, to the irritation of New Amn's Governor-General Cordell, as it limits New Amn's northern influence.
 * Some of the Waterdhavian colonists from New Waterdeep continue north and build a second colony, Trythosford, at the mouth of a river on the mainland due west of Zilhatec Island.
 * In Maztica, Tlincalli diviners create a gate and transport an expeditionary force of over a thousand of their people into the caves under Amn. The Tlincalli journey deeper into the Underdark and found the realm of Oaxapupta in the abandoned dwarf kingdom of Xothaerin.


 * The Cult of the Dragon cell of Sembia successfully persuades a blue dragon from the Anauroch named Malygris to become a dracolich. Once the process is complete, Malygris then battles and kills the ruler of Anauroch's loose association of blue dragons, before taking his place.


 * Waterdeep establishes limited trade with Maztica and Zakhara but, owing to the danger involved in the sea journeys, a lot of ships are lost. Twelve Waterdhavian ships arrive at Helmsport in Maztica, but the Lord-Governor of New Amn bars them access, owing to the council's restrictions on transoceanic trade. Several of the ships journey north and establish colonies. At the end of the year, eight of the ships return to Waterdeep, but three sink on the voyage. The remainder carry fresh trade for the Sword Coast North.
