Changing the purpose of a thread again (I hate cluttering the boards with my questions).
Is there a Tethyrian Timeline anywhere? The Amn and Calimshan books have one, but all the Tethyr one has is its history section. I'm trying to place this Kingdom (that was the Islands of the Race) which fell in 141 DR.
"Place it" as in 'trying to figure-out how it fits the rest of the regions history' - just for my own piece of mind.
From Original Thread Topc:
<What are the sources for this area?>

FR5 Savage Frontier and The North Boxed Set would be your main sources. A few novels ("The Nether Scroll" et al.) and possibly Volo's Guide to the North.
Someone who really knows the answer to your query will be along directly to give you a proper answer!

| The material at the beginning of the 4E campaign guide and several of the RPGA LFR modules bearing the heading LURU have stuff as well. And possibly bits in the Silver Marches sourcebook from 3E. |
My Realms novel, Sandstorm, is now available for ordering. |

Just out of curiosity, who was the "someone?"

Okay... I had found a decent bit in the SM source - I was just double-checking the terrain-type for my new map.
On one 2e Map, it looks like the 'broken' terrain that you find in the stonelands and elswhere, but everywhere else it is the Moor terrain - I just wanted to make sure.
I'm getting super-anal with this newest one. 
Thanks for everyone's help. |

It's usually you or Wooly. I'm too old and lazy to do much more than a general "direction point" these days ...

In that case...
Markus, there's also a few bits in Anauroch, 2e's City of Splendors, Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark, and I think one of the articles in the "Perilous Gateways" series featured some tidbits on the Fallen Lands too. |

I just needed a description of the terrain - I'm good now.
Thanks.
I've been east of Anauroch now for the past two days. |

As you can see by the new Topic-name, I've changed my question yet-again - is there a Tethyrian (only) timeline floating around anywhwere?  |

Lands of Intrigue box set should have one....... |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

There is a "Lands of Intrigue" timeline that was handed out at GEN-CON when this product was released around the same time. It actually contains more info than the published historical timeline.
E-mail me at krashos@bigpond.com and I'll send you a copy.

Thanks... sending an E-Mail out now.
The Amn and Calimshan books have timelines, but the Tethyr one does not (I suppose because all of the relevant info is in the other two already, although it would be extremely convenient to have just a seoerate one for Tethyr).
I have a work-in-progress (like everything else) of a list of Kingdoms, cultures, and settlements, the reggion they occupied, and their rise and fall dates. Thats why having individual timelines for countries is handy for to me. |

| Just finding this scroll now after being offline for a couple of months... I'd love a copy of that timeline as well. E-mail on its way... thanks! |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |
