- Coram IV of House Tethyr is born.[1]
1173 DR in politics
- Contemplating how to deal with ambitious family members, Emperor Wai Long Sun of T'u Lung eats rice from the enchanted bowls fashioned by potter Jo He Ting, which grant clear thought. However, they do not protect against poison, and he dies. His cousin, Wai Chu Doang becomes the fifth emperor. Exploiting the oath of loyalty, he raises large and strong armies as a defense against the baronial clans and against Shou Lung. His habit of using harsh, military solutions to resolve domestic issues leads to his reign being named "The Law of Fists".[2]

Notes
- The name of this year has an identical duplicate in year 107; since both years have entries in The Grand History of the Realms and WOTC has yet to release any updates to officially explain the discrepancy, there is currently no resolution. Discussion at Candlekeep concluded that for now the best option is to employ one of the unused year names from Realmslore; the Year of Many Hawks was offered to keep with the bird motif, but this is obviously still not official.[3]
