Template:Ch'Chitl-event/doc

This template is used to denote the discrepancy in dates when describing the githyanki raid on the Underdark illithid city of Ch'Chitl.

Background
The canon policy states that later sources are typically given priority over earlier ones, but this is an exception to that guideline. The event is confusingly described happening both "nearly a hundred years ago" and "more than a hundred years ago" in the Underdark sourcebook, which is set in 1372 DR. The Grand History of the Realms codified this as the year 1250 DR. These sources directly contradict the year of 1362 DR given in Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark and Cloak & Dagger, which are corroborated by passages in the City of Splendors: Waterdeep, the City of Splendors boxed set, and Skullport. For the sake of continuity with other events that followed the attack on the elder brain of Ch'Chitl, this wiki chooses to use 1362 DR as the year the event took place.
