12-31-04, 08:05 AM A Brian James has created a 90 page PDF file that details the FRs history from its Prehistory up to the present over at Enworld

http://www.geonomicon.com/chronology/A%20Grand%20History%20of%20the%20Realms. pdf

It should tie you all over until Lost empires of Faerun comes out next month

WARNING: The Timeline ties in the novels as well so be warned there are spoils from the FR Novels line in this PDF

Enjoy!

12-31-04, 05:14 PM Pretty impresive history. Must've taken some time to complete. My only quibble is that the color codes are hard to distinguish.

01-01-05, 02:28 AM I'm really pleased that many of the 3rd-Edition sourcebooks have detailed timelines. Makes my job so much easier!

I'm really looking forward to Lost Empires of Faerūn. Should be many juicy bits of realmslore there, and hopefully another timeline. :)

01-01-05, 02:52 AM have you thought about submiting the Timeline over at Candlekeep Brian?

01-01-05, 08:16 PM I have not been to Candlekeep in a while. I'll have to check it out. If they are willing to host it, that would be cool with me.

01-02-05, 12:32 PM Iakhovas, your timeline is wonderful! I did not know you Iakhovas was the author of this amazing timeline which I have referred to on many, many occasions!

By the way, there are some dates in the Serpent Kingdoms on page 186 that you may or may not already be aware of that you might consider adding to your chronology if you are not already working on doing so.

Many, many thanks & congratulations on compiling such a fantastic document!

01-02-05, 01:28 PM Nice PDF, but I miss Serpent Kingdom lore.

01-02-05, 08:44 PM Thank you for the offer Kiwidoc. You absolutely may host the timeline.

As Gray noted, the most glaring omission from the chronology are the events from Serpent Kingdoms(2004). Though these dates will be included in a future update, I intentionally left them out of this first release. I'm still trying to reconcile some conflicts with the Giantcraft(1995) supplement about the Days of Thunder.

I'm glad many of you are finding the PDF useful. You can expect an updated version shortly after Lost Empires of Faerūn is released next month.
