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.
- ↑ The year is deduced from the date for the prequel, Into the Void, being given as 1361 DR in the "Presenting . . . Seven Millennia of Realms Fiction" article from Wizards of the Coast, (also published in Dragon #196); the fact that Into the Void describes its entire story taking place in little more than 78 days, (See pp. 168, 172, 184, and 206); and p. 7 of The Maelstrom's Eye, which claims that Teldin had left his home of Krynn "just half a year ago". At the very latest, if Into the Void ended in Nightal of 1361, the last month of the year, The Maelstrom's Eye could thus not begin any later than the first few months of 1362 DR. The events of The Maelstrom's Eye are completed within a few months. (See pp. 89 and 166.)
