 * Time of Troubles Ao forces the gods of Toril from their divine realms to seek the stolen Tablets of Fate. Much destruction is sown and many previously all-powerful deities are killed, including the entire Untheric pantheon
 * The Tuigan Horde Yamun Kahan launches a massive invasion of Shou Lung and Faerûn. He swiftly conquers Semphar and Khazari but is turned back in Kara-Tur. Turning west, the vast horde of skilled horsemen attack Thay and Rashemen before sweeping along the Golden Way. The horde seemed unstoppable until Yamun was slain in battle with Azoun IV.
 * Bloodstone Wars the nations of Damara and Vaasa are freed from the oppressive rule of the Witch King Zhengyi.
 * Discovery of the New World The continent of Maztica is discovered and colonized by faerûnian explorers. Massive amounts of exotic goods and precious materials are exported back to Faerûn.
 * A massive demonic and monstrous army attacks the Sword Coast but is defeated by an alliance of humans, elves and dwarves.
 * Twelfth Serôs War The seas of Faerûn erupt in chaos when Iakhovas attacks several coastal cities and destroys a large portion of the Sharksbane Wall, allowing sahuagin to swarm into the western part of the Sea of Fallen Stars
 * The flying city of Thultanthar returns to Faerûn, an event that presages the return of the mighty empire of Netheril and many epic conflicts to come.
 * The goddess Lolth seemingly disappears, causing untold chaos and destruction amongst her drow followers as rivals and the worshipers of other gods vie for power in the Underdark. By the next year, she emerges, even more powerful, and has separated the Demonweb Pits from the Abyss.
 * Rage of Dragons Sammaster ties his phylactery to the dracorage mythal, causing a dracorage not tied to the usual presence of the King-Killer Star but his phylactery is destroyed by dragon slayers.
