Does anybody recall if any of the short stories in the Anthologies relate to the Time of Troubles? Or sets of novels that are directly related? etc..
Almost finished with the 8 books(Avatar Series 1-5, Shadow of Avatar Trilogy) and I'm looking to get into the short stories before heading into my next set of books, which will probably be Twilight Giants trilogy by Troy Denning, but undecided...input? 
I looked at another thread that looked like it was meant to be a guide for the "Realms of" / "Best of" books, but it was somewhat incomplete although I did manage to discover one story that involves Adon:
"Curse of Tegea" in Realms of Valor
[EDIT:] Added some clarification to the 8 books I was referring to, sorry for the mix up :)

Any Lone Wolf fans? Old school gamebooks from the 80's? They are being re-released/updated, and new books 29-32 being written: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/novels/lonewolfsolo.html

I just cannot remeber any short stories that deal with that besides the one you mention. Seems the way I remember the TOT it was just the avatar trilogy and Bam its over, time to move on. |

| Evidently Ed wrote a trilogy that centers on what Elminster is doing the whole time during the ToT. I have not got around to finding copies of it though. |

Have a look at this timeline.
I assume hawktom is including the Shadow of the Avatar trilogy in his eight. It centers less on Elminster than on the impromptu adventuring band of Sharantyr of the Knights of Myth Drannor and the two Harpers Itharr and Belkram. It shows effects and consequences of the Godswar away from its central battles, and provides our best sustained up-close look at the Dales.
The three FRE-series modules that Ed wrote likewise allude to many more goings-on across Faerūn, back when Realms materials included current clack and weren't galloping blinkered into the future and over the cliff. |

| The Shadow of the Avator trilogy is definitely worth a read. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

| The forgotten realms Atlas has an excellent time line of the events of the time of troubles, based on the Avatar trilogy, to include maps. |
