Rafim Cinder was a mage member of the Wizards Guild of Ravens Bluff, active in the late 14th century DR.[1]
History[]
In Eleint of the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR, or within less than a month,[note 1] Rafim Cinder, Arroc, and Glithander Ej-lahona became the three most recent additions to the famed Wizards Guild of Ravens Bluff. Their acceptance into the guild was personally sponsored by the Old Sage, Elminster Aumar himself, who, at the time, visited the guild to address the looming planet threat to The Vast. All three new members were rumored to have elvish blood and to be originally from Elminster's home – the Dalelands. Rafim Cinder's acceptance into the guild and Elminster's visit were reported in Ravens Bluff Trumpeter by Nadd Parker, a freelance reporter.[1]

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.
