Appendix
Notes
- ↑ The Forgotten Realms campaign sets for both the 1st edition (set 1357 DR) and 2nd edition (set 1368 DR) give Zhengyi's appearance as happening "20 years ago." The 3rd edition (pp. 110) used the date established in the 2nd edition to set the canon year of Zhengyi's appearance and the start of the Vaasan War as 1347 DR. However, Races of Faerûn (pp. 89) mistakenly uses the old date, and states that the Vaasan War ended in 1347 DR.
