671 DR


 * During the construction of an ivory tower in Thar, Abarat the Alabaster contacts his former colleagues and begs for their assistance against a siege by a monstrous army. Help arrives in a matter of hours, but rescuers find the tower entirely empty, with Abarat and all the monsters gone, no sign of a battle or anything out of the ordinary. Abarat is never heard of again, while the incomplete tower becomes known as Abarat's Folly.


 * The gnolls of the Shaar are rent by internal strife. Their raids into the Lapal League dramatically decline.
