Talk:Azoun Obarskyr I

=Dates= Dates given in various sources are irreconcilable. Grand History of the Realms has Azoun I leading a campaign against Valashar in 356 DR. The same work lists what seems to be the same event also in 376. Lands of Intrigue gives this same event in 336. Cormyr has Azoun being a young man in 376. Bleh. :( --Palantas (talk) 14:57, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Argh! I just discovered this today doing some research. It's bloody frustrating. They all seem to be the identical events too, just repeated 20, 40 years apart. What's more, Azoun I is king two years before he's born, no less, then becomes Crown Prince Azoun I twenty years later. The sword Ilbratha is forged three times on the eve of each of these campaigns. King Ashar is executed then resumes living again to have another go (this, at least, is explainable, since he reappears in the Year of Woeful Resurrections, 375 DR).


 * Ugh. I'm pretty sure it's all the same campaign and events, with no repeats. They didn't go through it all over again in the exact same way every 20 years, I'm sure. I would take 376 DR as the "proper" date of the campaign against Valashar. This year, at least, agrees with the dates of the reigns of the kings involved (which otherwise can't budge as they follow other rulers). The time(s) of Valashar can be shifted 20, 40 years to match. — BadCatMan (talk) 15:39, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I hate it when the sourcebook writers mess up like this. To make matters worse, Shoon VII is supposed to be emperor when all this occurs, yet his reign ended in 367 DR. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:59, August 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, Shoon VII became a lich, so I guess it still makes sense. ~ Lhynard (talk) 21:12, June 13, 2016 (UTC)
