Revision as of 02:45, 21 October 2016
1357 DR in conflicts
- Ches: A many-headed snake monster attacks farms north of Asbravn, and no one locally can defeat it. The Red Cloaks of Asbravn send a carrier pigeon to Lord Piergeiron of Waterdeep reporting the attacks, and they seek someone who can slay the monster.[1]
- Mirtul: Zhentil Keep wins a naval battle against Mulmaster and Melvaunt on the Moonsea.[1]
- Kythorn: Luskan destroys the harbor and much of the fleet of Ruathym then lands troops on the island, waging a war to conquer the island. Ulphron, First Axe of Ruathym, disappears. Luskan forces plunder Ruathym and subjugate the population and shipping. Aumark Lithyl, one of Knights of Myth Drannor, leads a defense of the island.[1][2]
- Eleasias: Duke Bhereu of Cormyr leads troops out of Tilverton and into the Dalelands, joining forces with Mourngrym Amcathra, lord of Shadowdale. Together, they destroy a dark elf caravan travelling near Shadowdale and help Randal Morn of Daggerdale fight off an orc incursion from the Desertsmouth Mountains.[1]
- Eleasias: Cormyrean soldiers engage Zhent forces in Daggerdale and Teshwave, and bolster the garrison at Castle Crag to guard against attacks from the north or opportunistic bandits.[1]
- Marpenoth: After a particularly vicious battle between the forces of Hillsfar and those of Zhentil Keep, the Hillsfar faction, led by Maalthiir, wins control of Yûlash. Zhent forces begin massing in Voonlar to strike back, and preparing for war in Zhentil Keep itself.[1]
- Marpenoth: Lord Envoy Orm's desertion sparks[citation needed] civil war in Melvaunt, as senior families fight to control the throne.[1]
- Uktar: The Zhentilar retake Yûlash with an inferior number of troops supported by powerful magic. The troops from Hillsfar retreat from the city, allowing the Zhents time to reinforce the devastated city’s defenses.[citation needed]
- Salamander War: The Red Wizards of Thay open a gate to the Elemental Plane of Fire and begin a campaign against the North Coast cities of Escalant, Murbant, and Thasselen.[3] Escalant is besieged by fire elementals.[4] Finally, Escalant and Laothkund fall to the Thayans and the elementals as most of the Wizards' Reach falls under Thayan rule.[2]
- A second Thayan army, this one bolstered by zombies, invades Rashemen but is turned back.[citation needed]
- Circa: A fleet of the mamluks of Qudra tries to take control of the corsair city of Hawa. The attack is beaten back with severe losses to the Qudran navy.[5][note 1]

- An earthquake in the vicinity of the Laughing Hollow releases an unknown pollutant into the River Delimbiyr downriver of the site. Livestock that drink from the river die in large numbers and Daggerford has to rely on its wells and cisterns for drinking water until the source of the pollution is stemmed.[9]
1357 DR in organizations
- Marpenoth: The Rogues of Tilverton are attacked in their own headquarters by the Fire Knives but that same contingent of Fire Knives is then defeated by an adventuring party inscribed with the Azure Bonds (which they had helped to inscribe!).[10]

- The dwarves of Clan Ironeater reclaim the ruined halls of Illefarn.[12]
- Shandril Shessair kills a dracolich of the Cult of the Dragon. The Sembian Cult of the Dragon cell also suffers, as Shandril costs the cell three dracoliches (Shargrailar the Dark, Rauglothgor the Proud, and Aghazstamn) and two Wearers of Purple.[13][2]
- In Kara-Tur, an outpost of the Black Leopard Cult on Akari Island is discovered and wiped out. As the news arrives in Pendir Chao and H'sin-to, Black Leopard followers organize large-scale parades and demonstrations.[2]

- Chansreena Alabhansree Alanasker of Ormpur elopes with her lover, the pirate Cairak Redbeard to the Moonshae Isles, taking several magic weapons and a large quantity of saffron with her to ensure a comfortable life.[2]
- Shaliim, the prince of Lapaliiya, and his Waterdhavian adventuring party narrowly escape capture by a group of black dragons.[2]

- Thauloamur Reerist, a minstrel, writes the book Clever Words from a Failed Jester.[14]
- Thalamoasz Threir, Sage of Sembia, writes Signposts In The Gardens of Life.[15]
- Pumkato, a svirfneblin of Blingdenstone, rises to the position of burrow warden, one of the youngest in the city's history.[16]
- On the alternate world of Earth, Ed Greenwood collates a collection of travelogues, maps, and other information given him by Elminster into the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set for its first publication.[2]
- In the guise of the halfling Regis, the assassin Artemis Entreri comes to Mithral Hall. He battles Drizzt Do'Urden, but is defeated and left for dead. However, he is later rescued by Jarlaxle and the Bregan D'aerthe, who take him to Menzoberranzan. Later this year, while Drizzt and Catti-brie escape the city, he joins them.[2]
- Shandril Shessair, a spellfire-wielding maiden of Deepingdale, is hunted by both the Cult of the Dragon and the Zhentarim across the Dalelands and Cormyr and into the Heartlands. On the way, she is aided by the Knights of Myth Drannor and hidden by Elminster, Mirt, and the Seven Sisters. She slays three dracoliches of the Dragon Cult.[13][2]
- Shandril Shessair later kills a clone of Manshoon, collapses Irondrake Rock, slays the lichnee Iliph Thraun and does heavy damage to Zhentil Keep and the Citadel of the Raven with spellfire.[13]

- Heading to Silverymoon at the invitation of Alustriel, Drizzt Do'Urden comes across the path of a band of orc and ogre raiders and their captives. Joining with a band of farmers from Pengallen, they defeat the band, though not before one of the slaves—a goblin named Nojheim—escapes. Having been told the goblin was a captured war band leader who was to have a trial, Drizzt tracks him down and returns him, whereupon he learns that Nojheim is as temperamentally different a goblin as Drizzt is a drow, and a slave owned by Rico Pengallen. Traveling to Silverymoon to appeal to Alustriel's justice, Drizzt isn't there to stop Nojheim's owner from killing him.[17]
- Alias and Dragonbait track down the makers of the Azure Bonds. In the process, they destroy the evil magician Cassana of Westgate, the lich Zrie Prakis, the Fire Knives guild, and the fiend Phalse, and they ban the god of decay Moander from Faerûn.[18]

Zhentil Keep quickly discovers this treachery and abandons support for its occupying forces, instead concentrating on rebuilding Yûlash in an attempt to divert all Moonsea trade away from the Dalelands.[citation needed]
- During the months of Flamerule, Eleasias, and Eleint, the Night Masks battle the Shore Patrol for control of Westgate's criminal underworld.
