I need to know what happened with Selune' during the time of troubles. I know that I read somewhere that her avatar was rumored to be the owner of an Inn or festhall, but this may have been before ToT. Does anyone know what I am talking about, and have an idea what book, etc. it is in?

Also does anyone have a recent timeline of FR starting around the ToT till now? I cannot find it anywhere on the net. Most specifically what years these adventures took place?:

  • Pool of Radience
  • City of the Spider Queen
  • Cormyr
  • Shadowdale

-Selûne was in Waterdeep, where she and her sister renewed their war on each other, in mortal avatar forms.

A Grand History of the Realms, if you can find a .pdf copy anywhere, should have what you're looking for. Beyond that, you might try looking it up in the published book at the LGS with a notepad in hand should money prove to be an issue.

As to Selune, the tavern was Selune's Smile, the avatar called itself Luna, and its now run by Kyriani Agrivar, a half-drow wizardess/moonstar agent, and the newest Lord of Waterdeep as far as I'm aware. The only place I know this has been gone into at length is on page 87 of City of Splendors: Waterdeep, no idea if its ever made it into a novel.

Specifically, I'm not sure CotSQ had an official year it took place, but presumably it should have a date mentioned in the book if it does have a specific official version. Cormyr should have dated chapters, the current stuff happening in 1369 as I recall. Shadowdale, presuming its the ToT novel-based one, should be in 1358. Can't say I'm familiar enough with the PoR to offer anything on that one alas. Hope it helps.

CandleKeep has lots of Realms Time Lines. Check them out.

1.Selune. The whole Selune ToT story can be found in the old AD&D comic book. Luna(the avatar of Selune) is around from the start, but the TOT 'war of the four moons' is in 15-20. Otherwise you get scattered notes in other places, but not much detail.

2.You looking for the Adventures by thoes names, or the novels. The novel Shadowdale is during the ToT. The novel Cormyr covers a lot of years to say the least.

The (hardcover) adventures Shadowdale/Cormyr/Anaroch takes place at the end of 1374/ start of 1375.


The Pool of Radiance novel is in the past, 1340 or 1350 DR at least. The Adventure would need to be at that time, and there are a couple 'pool of radiance' adventures.

3.SotSQ is set in 1372DR, late summer. Lolth falls silent on Eleasias 28 to be exact and the adventure is in the days after that.
