Appendix[]

Notes[]

↑ "Steelheart" references the recent destruction of Zhentil Keep (p. 55), which took place at the end of 1368 DR (Ruins of Zhentil Keep, p. 76). Since the adventure is said to take place mid-summer (p. 58), it is fairly clear the adventure is set in 1369 DR. The adventure contains a dating error, claiming Steelheart's parents fought in the Bloodstone Wars in 1347 DR, prior to her being hatched. At the same time, Steelheart is stated to be 27 years old. This would date the adventure to 1374 DR, which in turn would render a lot of the references to current events anachronistic, such as the repeated references to the Zhentarim's allegiance to Cyric—the Cyricist faction was purged in 1370 DR (Cloak & Dagger, p. 16). This wiki chalks this discrepancy up to a mistake by the author.
