1489 DR in conflicts


Deaths in 1489 DR


1489 DR in deities

  • Lord Ao decrees the end of the Era of Upheaval.[6]
  • The gods begin to talk to their followers again, but their influence is subtler than before. New priesthoods arose to interpret the new behavior of the gods.[7]
  • In Flamerule, Eilistraee and Vhaeraun fully reacquired the power that they had possessed before 1375 DR. They held their own old portfolios, and were separate entities (Eilistraee was still a drow goddess, as were most of their followers--not dark elves, despite a spell cast by Q'arlynd Melarn in 1379 DR),[8][9][10][11][note 1] but they managed to reach a reciprocal understanding, respect, and even a truce (although their followers still skirmished often).[12] Both Eilistraee and Vhaeraun personally announced their return to the Realms, manifesting through their avatars to their followers.[10]


1489 DR in environment

  • The seasons continue to start and end later than normal as a result of the environmental chaos of the separation of Abeir from Toril in the prior years. While some fear this change is permanent, most expect the seasons to return to normal in the coming years.[13]
  • In Icewind Dale, the nonstop two-year winter of Auril's Everlasting Rime ends.[5][note 2]


Migrations in 1489 DR

  • The rebellion against the rule of Vorgansharax, having failed, causes Phlan's refugees to flee to Mulmaster.[2]


1489 DR in people


1489 DR in politics

  • The Harpers form a pact with the fey of Kryptgarden forest serving King Witchthorn, an Unseelie lord.[2]
  • A variety of new priesthoods spring up across the Realms to discern the will of the gods in the wake of the Second Sundering.[7]

Notes

  1. As said here, in answer to this question, only the following lines of text in the last reference are to be considered canon: "After Flamerule 1489, Vhaeraun and Eilistraee are separate deities with the same powers and portfolios they had before 1375, but a new understanding, respect, and even friendship for each other. Some of their followers still war with each other, but the two deities do not. Thus far, Eilistraee’s teachings after the Sundering are the same as before the Sundering"
  2. Aside from being the date identified in Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden (pp. 5), the fact that the Everlasting Rime is not mentioned in other materials released for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition which mention or visit Icewind Dale during or after 1489 DR (such as the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, The Rise of Tiamat and Storm King's Thunder) suggests that the Rime was meant to end in 1489 DR.
  3. Canon material does not provide a year for the Tyranny of Dragons storyline, but in a forum post, Greg Marks stated it was set in 1489 DR. However, the events of the Tyranny of Dragons are discussed in the novel Archmage, which is set in 1485/1486 DR and has events that necessarily put it after The Rise of Tiamat. Since this inconsistency has not been cleared up, this wiki will use the vague term "1480s DR" for events related to this storyline, though it is most likely no latter than 1486 DR.
  4. Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but Christopher Perkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1492 DR. Corroborating this, Dragon Heist page 20 refers to events of Death Masks (set in 1491 DR) as being "last year". Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1492 DR for events related to this sourcebook and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage (which is referenced on pages 5 and 98 of Dragon Heist).
