671 DR


 * Following his construction of an ivory tower in Thar, Abarat the Alabaster contacts his former colleagues and begs 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 and so sign of any battle or anything out of the ordinary. Abarat is never heard of again, while 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.
