1250 DR in conflicts
- The mind flayers of Ch'Chitl plot to enslave Waterdeep, but their efforts are ruined when githyanki make a surprise attack and mortally wound the elder brain.[1][note 1]
1250 DR in politics
- The fifth Emperor Chin of Shou Lung dies following a hunting accident. In death, he is granted the deific name "Yeh Tu", meaning "Hare", leading to rumor that he was assassinated by a jealous family member. His grandson becomes the sixth emperor.[1]
Miscellaneous
- The individual graves in Waterdeep are replaced by tombs, creating the City of the Dead.[2]
Appendix
Notes
- ↑ Canon sources are contradictory when describing the year in which a githyanki raid fatally wounded the elder brain in control of Ch'Chitl. Two later sources, including The Grand History of the Realms, place it in 1250 DR, but three earlier sources place it in 1362 DR. Because this event has repercussions in the history of the Unseen and Waterdeep, this wiki will use 1362 DR as the accepted date. You can read the relevant discussions here and here.
