Hyperion the Titan holds court with a visitor to Mount Othrys.
Hyperion was one of the Greater Titans who was imprisoned by the Olympian pantheon in the plane of Carceri.[1][2][3][4] Just as all Titans were said to have dominion over some form of building block of the Prime Material,[5][6] Hyperion held dominion over suns.[7]
History[]
At some point in the late 14th century DR, an adventuring party somehow ended up in the Othrys layer of Carceri. There one of them, a paladin by the name of Uri, would end up a captive of the Greater Titans[8] after his fellow paladin Elendil cowardly fled from the scene. Uri spent the last days of his life in captivity,[9] held in a tower on Mount Othrys and forced to engage in gladiatorial entertainment for the amusement of Hyperion.[8]
In the month of Hammer, in the Year of Rogue Dragons, 1373 DR,[note 1] a group of adventurers from Ravens Bluff found themselves transported to the plane of Carceri after defending the githzerai fortress of Tah'Darr from a tanar'ri incursion. At the urgings of Elendil, the adventurers learned of Uri and sought out the Titan Cronus for a way back to Toril. They traveled together to Mount Othrys,[10] with Elendil having last heard that Uri was recently involved in combat with tanar'ri.[11] They eventually made to the crumbling palace of the Titans and inside Cronus informed Elendil that his colleague had been killed and eaten by visiting tanar'ri.[12]

Notes[]
- ↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff campaign took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City adventures and issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter were dated with real-world dates, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR), Myrkyssa was at last arrested and tried and said to have been executed, only to reappear in 1372 DR in The City of Ravens novel. As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month.
