 * The town of Greenest comes under attack from the Cult of the Dragon.
 * The Green Dragon Mask is recovered from the lair of Claugiyliamatar in Kryptgarden Forest. Old Gnawbone herself was injured while blows were struck against Thay, the Cult of the Dragon and the Zartruss hobgoblin clan.
 * Vorgansharax attacks and conquers Phlan with the aid of an army of dragon cultists that boil up from beneath the city. The dragon erects a cage of magical thorns around Phlan, sealing it off from the outside to ensure the dragon's dominance.
 * Unther tries to invade Tymanther for a second time, but the Untherite navy is unable to overcome the dragon turtle that protects Djerad Kethendi. Mulhorand fortify its borders with the two countries to avoid the conflict to spill in his lands.

 * Lord Ao decrees the end of the Era of Upheaval.
 * The gods begin to talk to their followers again, but their influence is subtler than before. New priesthoods arose to interpret the new behaviour of the gods.
 * In Flamerule, Eilistraee and Vhaeraun fully reacquired the power that they had possessed before 1375 DR. They held their own old portfolios, and were separate entities (Eilistraee was still a drow goddess, as were most of their followers--not dark elves, despite a spell cast by Q'arlynd Melarn in 1379 DR),    but they managed to reach a reciprocal understanding, respect, and even a truce (although their followers still skirmished often). Both Eilistraee and Vhaeraun personally announced their return to the Realms, manifesting through their avatars to their followers.


 * The rebellion against the rule of Vorgansharax, having failed, causes Phlan's refugees to flee to Mulmaster.

 * Ammalia and Victoro Cassalanter sign a pact with Asmodeus trading their children's souls in exchange for financial prosperity. Their eldest son, Osvaldo, is immediately taken, his body transformed into a chain devil.


 * The Harpers form a pact with the fey of Kryptgarden forest serving King Witchthorn, an Unseelie lord.
 * A variety of new priesthoods spring up across the Realms to discern the will of the gods in the wake of the Second Sundering.
