Is the official birth date of Mourngrym Amcathra given anywhere?

The only data I have found so far is in the "Shadowdale" module. The text there states that Mourngrym is just 30. The events in the module take place in 1358 DR (during the Time of Troubles).

I don't know if the text about Mourngrym in the module is canon, somehow it doesn't match very well with the descriptions of Mourngrym in Hall of Heroes and Heroes Lorebook.

Best Regards,

Coming straight from Ed, except in as far as it has to cleave to the novel plot, it's more authentic than the second-hand writeups in FR7 Hall of Heroes -- based on character sheets, notes, and novel information -- and Heroes' Lorebook.

1328 DR is definitely about right. For instance, the founder Knights of Myth Drannor are callow 20ish youths at the beginning of their adventuring careers in 1348 DR, as told in Swords of Eveningstar.
