The Players Guide to Faerun has one that updates the one in the 3e Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting...... But atm the novels are still ahead of the sourcebooks.

You know, after reading the historical excerpt from Lost Empires of Faerun, I'm beginning to think that they've ended that particular descrepancy:

A short distance down the "Historical Excerpt" page the text makes note that the year the map is set is 2000 years before 1374 DR, which would be an odd thing to say if that were not now the current year. I think that to clear up all the annoying problems of having the accessories up to Shining South in one year (1373) and having novels set in another (1374), they've finally brought the two into alignment a few months earlier than the FRCS/PGtF progession would have done so. And actually, given the arguments and headaches this has cause, I'm glad they've done so - if they is what they have done, which we will find out when LEoF is finally out...
