Talk:Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast

Year of Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast
In some of your recent articles (Maurandyr, Lonthalin Mintar, Janthool, etc.) you give the year as 1367 DR. Where did you find this date? I have looked in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast and cannot find 1367 or the Year of the Shield anywhere. Did you estimate the date from some some other source? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 15:38, June 25, 2017 (UTC)


 * to be honest I no remember more. I remembered that I had checked also the guide to dalelands. Unknown user 11 (talk) 12:05, June 26, 2017‎ (UTC)


 * Hmmm, I can find "Year of the Serpent" (1359 DR) mentioned on page 1... 1322 DR and 1346 DR are on page 176... 1312 DR is talked about on page 176... Page 27 mentions Ulcaster founded his school 300 years ago... The Grand History of the Realms page 115 gives that date around 1026 DR... so is the sourcebook set in 1326 DR... I would say no due to other clues... "over the years" is used a dozen times... after my investigation, I am inclined to say Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast was written around 1359 DR. Any thoughts? - Darkwynters (talk) 23:19, June 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * So does 1359 DR sound like a good date for this sourcebook? - Darkwynters (talk) 18:01, June 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * Cyric became a deity in 1358 DR and the book talks about his worshipers in many places. I say go with "Year of the Serpent" (1359) unless better evidence comes to light. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 03:18, June 30, 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, poop... The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier page 10 states the Way Inn was rebuilt in 1364 DR... and page 65 of Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast says the inn was rebuilt after being destroyed by the hordes of Dragonspear Castle. Not seeing anything from 1365 DR. - Darkwynters (talk) 17:59, July 25, 2017 (UTC)
