Chronology
Edit
The adventure takes place after the events described in Hoard of the Dragon Queen, The Rise of Tiamat, Princes of the Apocalypse,[1] and Tomb of Annihilation,[2] but does not directly depend on them. It is not set in a particular year, but is assumed to be on or after the Year of the Scarlet Witch, 1491 DR.[note 1]
