1044 DR


 * Aencar Burlisk, the Mantled King of the Dalelands, dies and his brief-lived realm breaks up into independent but allied communities.
 * In Shou Lung, the thirteenth Emperor Chin of the La Dynasty is childless and without an official heir until two of his concubines give birth only hours apart, producing the so-called "twins" Shin Gisen and Shin Lu. Feuding over the succession, southern courtiers support Gisen while the bureaucracy and army support Lu.


 * Aencar Burlisk is killed by a dracolich summoned by evil mages.


 * Mount Ugruth erupts but only covers Hlondeth in a thin layer of ash. Worried about a repeat of the invasion from Chondath in 257 DR, the guard goes on high alert but no attack comes.
