1001 DR


 * Tuelhalva Drakewings of the Cult of the Dragon discovers Gargauth, the exiled archdevil, who is trapped in a pit in Peleveran. Gargauth persuades Tuelhalva to break from the Banite-led Sembian cell of the cult, and Tuelhalva begins plotting his move. Over the next five years, rival factions grow within the Dragon Cult, dominated by Algashon Nathaire's Bane-following reformational branch and Tuelhalva's own more pragmatic group.


 * This year is noted for the many new ruins and dungeons rediscovered. Unfortunately, it also means that much in the way of old magics and undead creatures also find their way out of such places.
 * Early in the year, after overcoming many trials and traps, three priests of Abbathor breach the plundered (by Abbathor himself) treasure vault of the ghost dragon Ragflaconshen under Turnback Mountain. Following a vision sent by the Great Master of Greed, they direct all followers of Abbathor to bring their collected hoards here and eventually it becomes Aefarn, the greatest temple to Abbathor and perhaps the most valuable collection of treasure in the Realms.
