Talk:Ravens Bluff

I estimate the "current year" for the people and events in Gateway to Ravens Bluff, the Living City to be just before the Time of Troubles, approximately 1356 -- 1357 DR. In the description for Charles Oliver O'Kane, it gives his age as 48 and says he has been the mayor for 14 years. In the Geopolitical Background section of the same document it says he came to power 20 years ago. The Forgotten Realms timeline states that O'Kane became Lord Mayor of Ravens Bluff in 1337 DR so 20 years puts the "current" date at 1357 DR. I adjusted his age to account for the missing 6 years. If anyone has more accurate date information, please let me know. Moviesign 04:47, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Tense of Article?
This article is mostly written (if not completely written) in the past tense. Does Ravens Bluff still exist in the Forgotten Realms world? I was under the impression that it does, but the tense of the article suggests otherwise. I tried to skim through to find the final fate of Ravens Bluff, but was unable to find anything in the article to suggest it was destroyed or abandoned. If this is the case, please move that information up to the first paragraph, as in "Ravens Bluff was a large city-state, but . . . " If Ravens Bluff still exists, please change the appropriate sections (like the introductory paragraph) to the present tense.


 * Our policy here is "Forgotten Realms Wiki:Remove wiki from timeline", that is to always write in past tense. Think of it as writing from the perspective of several billion years in the future, so we can make sure everything is in order.
 * Ravens Bluff does still exist as of Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide in 4th edition, and it doesn't seem to have changed much. -- BadCatMan (talk) 05:43, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
