Talk:Hlaavin

Hi everyone. I have a doubt. "In 1349 DR, the ulitharid Thalynsar sent Hlaavin to Waterdeep as leader of a druuth, a band of doppelgangers sent by illithids to infiltrate enemy cities. Soon after, however, Ch'Chitl suffered a crisis caused by the killing of the elder brain by a githyanki party in 1362." But... in other pages, such as "Ch'Chitl" and "Aulagol", said attack to the Elder Brain is said to be happened in mid-13th century, around 1250 DR. Please help! Do you now anything about this matter? Thank you --LylaNikker (talk) 10:05, January 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * The person who wrote these articles had a limited understanding of English and the text, and mostly like introduced their misinterpretations. I'll check over the sourcebooks and correct these. The attack on the elder brain definitely happened in 1250 DR, anyway. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:45, January 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * Nope, it's more complicated than that: Cloak & Dagger and Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark say the elder brain died in 1362 DR, while Underdark and The Grand History of the Realms say it died in 1250 DR. These seem irreconcilable, so we have to adopt the more recently published date of 1250 DR. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:05, January 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * For the record, City of Splendors: Waterdeep uses the 1362 DR date for the Unseen. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:56, January 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * In Brian James's original Grand History (the unofficial one) this particular entry is one of his 'best judgement' dates because he couldn't find a precise one himself. Seems they just ran with it when they put out the official version instead of looking in other sources to confirm - I think that's how a lot of the mistakes that made their way into that book got published. -hashtalk 15:44, January 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * My vote is that we should put a note of this probably error in TGHotR and go with the 1362 date. ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:08, January 7, 2018 (UTC)
