 * Tsarra Chaadren, the Blackstaff of Waterdeep, her heir and many of the Tel’Teukiira die fighting a coven of vampire-wizards of the Stump Bog. Kyriani Agrivar risks her sanity by bearing the Staff and the powers of the Blackstaff back to Waterdeep.
 * Caladnei, Royal Magician of Cormyr, is struck by the expanding effects of the Spellplague in a heavily-warded spellcasting chamber in Castle Obarskyr and is killed. The Dragonskull Chamber, its wards warped so that anyone with spellcasting ability can't approach without becoming violently ill, is ordered abandoned.


 * Caladnei, Mage Royal of Cormyr, finally succumbs to years-long struggle with Spellplague; succeeded by Laspeera Inthré.
 * Kyriani Agrivar takes the Blackstaff back to Waterdeep and proclaims herself the new Blackstaff. To acknowledge her legitimacy as the city’s archmage, she proclaims it from atop Blackstaff Tower, with Open Lord Caladorn at her side. This form of proclamation of the inheritance to the title of Blackstaff becomes tradition.


 * Chessentan coinage, once unique to each city-state, is consolidated into a single currency under the reign of War Hero Ishual Karanok.
