 * Several followers of Leira, dissatisfied with the stranglehold that worshipers of Mystra and Azuth have gained over the Council of Elders, depart Halruaa in skyships. These wizard lords eventually settle on the elven island of Nimbral and are welcomed. Though the Nimbrans are Halruaan by blood, they are a distinct culture separated from their kin by many miles of ocean.


 * Qysar Amahl Shoon V's daughter falls from her horse but when an Ilmateri hermit saves her life, the Qysar declares all of Ilmater's faithful immune to persecution and harm from then on, lest the aggressor be cursed to suffer a fate one hundred times worse. This ensures the safety of Ilmater's servants in Calimshan for as long as the proclamation is remembered and sparks a centuries-long debate in the Ilmateri church on whether Amahl V should be canonized.
