Talk:Code Helm

In-universe date
Why is the date on this page 1359 DR? I couldn't find this date on the sources mentioned. Since Spelljammer is in 2nd edition, I would guess that, as was discussed here, its lore on the Realms would be situated around the Time of Troubles, or 1367 DR.

Alternatively, if one goes chronologically by release date, p.23 of Realmspace, which was published in 1991, cites the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set, whose setting date is 1357 DR. The 2nd-edition boxed set would only be released in 1993. Is there another source (maybe a Spelljammer-specific one) that says otherwise? &mdash; Sirwhiteout (talk) 06:08, January 21, 2018 (UTC)


 * The 2e sourcebooks have a wide range of dates. Gold & Glory, which mentions Code Helm, is thought to be set between 1361 and 1364. It was published after Realmspace, so the year for Realmspace is probably before that range.


 * Nevertheless, 1359 seems too specific for me, and I'm not sure exactly why it was chosen.

 * Realmspace mentions the Time of Troubles, so it has to be later than that. It also says on p. 52 that Elminster has been visiting Ed Greenwood for 15 years. I don't know if this could be used for dating Realmspace. Daranios (talk) 13:29, January 21, 2018 (UTC)
