A Temporal Chronology of the Primes

The idea of traveling from one campaign world to another has been a subject of fascination and debate among many long-time fans of Dungeons & Dragons. Planar travel and Spelljamming are the most common methods of breeching the vast distance between worlds. What has been missing, however, has been the historical connection between campaign worlds. What events are unfolding on Krynn in the Dragonlance setting during the Time of Troubles in the Forgotten Realms setting?

A Temporal Chronology of the Primes is a timeline that links events from D&D's popular campaign worlds into a single historical accounting. The events that link the campaign worlds can be found in Appendix I. All events in this timeline were gathered from official DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® sourcebooks, novels, comics, and magazines. Recent entries into the chronology have been marked with the product id of its associated sourcebook. A listing of these referenced sourcebooks can be found in Appendix II.

The unknown chronicler of this timeline is a resident of the world of Abeir-Toril (Ai-BEER-toh-RILL) in Realmspace. This naturally lends itself to a bias on the history of the Forgotten Realms, and as such all events are dated in Dalereckoning.

III. A Temporal Chronology of the Primes [6th-Edition]

[Era: The Crown Wars] -12000 to -9000 DR
The Crown Wars of the Elves erupted more than a dozen millennia ago, pitting nearly four generations of elf against elf. The two greatest events of the Crown Wars that still have impact on the Realms of any era are the Dark Disaster and the Descent of the Drow. The Dark Disaster utterly destroyed the forest realm of Miyeritar, leaving the blasted plains that are now the High Moors. Perhaps due to the savagery of the Crown Wars or other factors long lost to time, the Dark Elves became corrupt during this era, broke away from their brethren, and after much warfare and cruelty they descended beneath the planet's surface to become the Deep Elves, the drow.

c. -12000 DR
1. The first dwarven settlements appear in the great mountain range known as the Yehimal, which lies at the juncture of the three great continents of Faerûn, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara. From there, the earliest dwarves migrated into all three lands. [885780000 p.8]
2. The first great kingdom of the dwarves of Faerûn is centered in the great cavern of Bhaerynden, deep beneath the Shaar. [885780000 p.8] [TSR11509 p.19]
3. From the great migration, one isolated branch of dwarves settle amid the isolated peaks of the Novularond, eventually becoming known as the arctic dwarves. [885780000 p.8]

-12000 DR
1. The Crown Wars / Rise of the Vyshaantar Empire. After centuries of fruitless diplomacy, the impatient, grasping rulers of Aryvandaar attack Miyeritar and begins putting political pressure on Shantel Othreier to join them or suffer the same fate.

-11851 DR
1. Discovery of the nature-benders, corrupt nature-masters who experiment with life in immoral ways. (4th World's Age - Ocean's Slumber (Y53), Dark Sun)

-11800 DR
1. Miyeritar militarily occupied and annexed by Aryvandaar, though a number of clans and strongholds resist and continue to fight. Many elves of Illefarn, despite its officially-neutral stance, provide secret safehavens for Miyeritari refugees.

-11700 DR
1. Dragons set the southern expanse of Shantel Othreier aflame, separating the soon-to-be-called Wyrmwood from its greater body. Tethir, kin of Keltormir (soon to be called "the Dragonslayer"), single-handedly slays two ancient red wyrms of the Ridge and saves many elves of his own Keltormir and Shantel Othreier. Tethir's stand earned the elves the respect of the dragons, who had previously dismissed them as ignorant, two-footed cattle.
2. The Second Crown War flares up in answer to the aggressions of Aryvandaar. Ilythiir rises up and viciously strikes out at any who support the gold elves of the north. Its nearest neighbor of Orishaar, as a major trade partner with Aryvandaar, falls swiftly in a brutal surprise attack.
3. Humanity slowly builds in the clearings created over time by the dragon fires. [TSR9561]

-11659 DR

-11584 DR
1. The new races of The Rebirth - humans, gnomes, dwarves, elves, and others - appear across the face of Athas. Great cities such as Tyr, Bodach, and Guistenal are founded to house the new races.

Dark Sun Era: THE GREEN AGE

-11474 DR
1. First reported sighting of the Messenger by a Tyrian astronomer. The comet appears every 45 years until the 190th King's Age - Enemy's Slumber when the cycle is mysteriously broken. (9th King's Age - Ral's Vengeance (Y45), Dark Sun)

-11450 DR
1. The Sable Wars: Thearnytaar and Eiellûr, with minimal allies from Keltormir and Shantel Othreier, invade Ilythiir, intent on destroying or reforming the dark elves before more realms fall. More than half their forces are decimated by the corrupt magics of the dark elves.

-11400 DR
1. Fall of Eiellûr as the Ilythiiri once again use fire to destroy their realm around them and isolate them from aid. They also were helped by traitor green elves, who thought their appeasement actions could help restore peace.

-11200 DR
1. Thearnytaar falls to the savage and now-unrepentant dark elves, who use enslaved monsters and undead to occupy the thorn-and-bramble choked woods. Ilythiir now directly skirmishes with the major realm of Keltormir along its eastern and southern expanses.

c. -11000 DR
1. Dwarves from the great stronghold of Bhaerynden begin to establish the first holds of what will be Deep Shanatar in the southern Underdark (Present Day: Alimir Mountains, Lake of Steam). [TSR9561]

-10900 DR
1. The Third Crown War erupts as accords finally fail between Shantel Othreier and Aryvandaar.

-10700 DR
1. Battle of the Gods' Theatre. The Gods' Theater (Present Day: The Tunlands) on eastern Shantal Othreier is the site of one of the largest and costliest of all the Crown Wars' battles. Nearly 70,000 elves died at the hands of elven and orcish enemies, as an orc horde 100,000 strong fell upon the already-embattled elves. Aryvandaar won the day, and occupied the northern half of Shantel Othreier.

-10600 DR
1. Shantel Othreier conquered by the Vyshaantar Empire of Aryvandaar after the mysterious death of Coronal Ynloeth. Guerilla fighting and rebel mages arise in parts of Miyeritar and the newly conquered territories.

-10500 DR
1. The Dark Disaster. Miyeritar is engulfed in killing storms, which reduce this entire forest and realm into barren wastelands in three months. While no proof could ever be found, many believe the High Mages of Aryvandaar inflicted the Dark Disaster on Miyeritar.
2. Shock over the Dark Disaster established an uneasy four decades of peace, as nearly every elf of Faerûn shrank back in awe and horror from what havoc the Crown Wars wrought.

c. -10450 DR
1. The Fourth Crown War. Ilythiir's seething counter-attack to avenge Miyeritar sees their open use of the corrupt powers of Ghaunadar and other dark, evil gods for the first time.

-10300 DR
1. The elves of Keltormir, opposed on both sides by the Vyshaan of Aryvandaar and the dark elven clan Hune of Ilythiir, strategically withdraw from eastern Keltormir, holding their lines at Highlands' Edge.

-10270 DR
1. The Stone and Claw Campaigns. The withdrawal of Keltormir's forces to close and defend its own borders pitted the forces of Aryvandaar and Ilythiir against each other. They soon closed ranks and fought incessantly for two centuries. Battles raged across the giant-infested mountains and wemic-claimed plains north of Keltormir.

-10110 DR
1. In opposition to the corrupt dark elves of Ilythiir and their continued destruction of the forested elven homelands by fire (an elven enemy of long-standing), over 1,000 priests and High Mages in neutral Illefarn and other free areas spend decades in fervent prayer for salvation by Corellon Larethian and the Seldarine gods.

-10100 DR
1. Through enslaved dragons and other powers, the dark elves of Ilythiir engulf all of Shantal Othreier in flames, destroying over 70% of its trees over the course of 50 years.

-10000 DR
1. Descent of the Drow: Corellon's magic, as directed through his priests and High Mages, transforms the dark elves, whether the corrupt Ilythiiri or others, into the drow. Whether by magic or by the weaknesses that banish them from the sunlit lands, all drow retreat within two month's passing into the Underdark.
2. Elves are summoned by the Seldarine to the site that becomes Elven Court one month after the Descent of the Drow, to settle differences and restore peace among the elves.

-9900 DR
1. Aryvandaar's covert persecution of High Mages and priests begins, as they attempt to destroy or control any who might somehow force their descent as they did the drow. While not destroyed utterly, Illefarn & its colony in the Llewyrrwood is annexed by Arvynandaar as its nobility of priests and High Mages died under the persecution of the increasingly crazed Coronal Giilvas Vyshaan. Many elves of both lands flee to the remnants of Shantel Othreier.

-9800 DR
1. The Vyshantaar Empire's forces occupy all elven realms (save Keltormir) from the High Forest of Aryvandaar to the sweltering southern forests of ilythiir. They begin the colonization and settlement of Evermeet.
2. A large force of Llewyrr elves escapes the oppressive mainland and resettle in isolation and safety among the mountains of the Moonshae Islands. Their new land becomes Synnoria, after the elfqueen who led the Llewyr to this island sanctuary.

c. -9600 DR
1. Rise of the first drow civilizations in the Underdark beneath southern Faerûn. Their constant harassment of the Vyshantaar forces over the next five centuries help prevent their annexing Keltormir or any other lands.

-9200 DR
1. The Fifth Crown War: The First Proclamation of Elven Court leads to the revolt of the nobles of Aryvandaar and the last Crown War begins. The Elven Court, the Seldarine priesthoods, and the long-hidden High Mages restore pockets of resistance and freedom across the entire Vyshantaar Empire, fragmenting the armies and nobles to limit their coordination.

-9000 DR
1. The Fifth Crown War ends with the utter defeat of the Vyshaan and the dissolution of Aryvandaar. Much of the High Forest is abandoned for an age, leaving the forest open so the gods might restore its peace.
2. The Wandering Years of elven colonization begin. Many elves begin migrating back to Elven Court in its eastern forest. Illefarn and Keltormir are the sole remaining civilizations to emerge intact from the Crown Wars.
3. Drow overwhelm the dwarves of Bhaerynden and take their rift-city for their own.

[Era: The Rise of Civilization/The Founding Time] -9000 to -3859 DR
This era signals the rise of all the humanoid civilizations, as the many dragons and giants were long overthrown and the elven wars no longer loomed over everyone as a threat. The elven realms of Evereska and Evermeet grow by colonization along with other realms, from the human Unther or Coramshan to the dwarven realms of High Shanatar or Oghrann.

-8800 DR
1. One tale, "Inferno," tells of a great drought lasting two summers. After an attack by a flight of red dragons on the center of the great elven forest of Keltormir, the dragon fire sparked a forest fire that raged out of control. This fire extinguished four entire clans of elves, eleven giant settlements, at least four green dragons, and thousands of miles of woodlands. The once-unified elves of Keltormir splintered into a number of separate clans.

-8600 DR

(55th King's Age - Ral's Reverence (Y34), Dark Sun)
