[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 6629823, member: 6786839"] Here's what I know, according to Adventurers League: "In 1488 DR, Lord Protector Anivar Daoran died unexpectedly in what, for all intents and purposes seemed nothing more than a construction accident during renovations on Castle Valjevo. The Lord Protector left no heir, so the Knight Commander of the Black Fist, Ector Brahms, was declared the Lord Regent of the Cinnabar Throne. The Lord Regent’s grasp on the throne is tenuous. To maintain order, the Lord Regent has used his control of the Black Fist and the Cinnabar Throne to declared martial law; keeping the populace in line by fear. To run the city, the Lord Regent requires the aid of the noble families and the four trade guilds, both of which are hesitant to lend their full support until they know how it will benefit them." Source: [url]http://dndadventurersleague.org/tyranny-of-dragons-premier-adventures/phlan-during-tyranny-of-dragons/[/url] The guide then describes the destruction of the temple of Bane shortly after the death of Daoran, but does not say who was responsible. This seems a large loose end. Did someone arrange for Daoran's death AND for the destruction of the temple? Did someone blame Bane-worshippers for Daoran's death, and then destroy the Temple in retaliation? Is someone at WotC hoping that many DMs will create different versions, and then they'll pick whichever version makes the best story? How the heck can anyone run "Tyranny in Phlan" or "Escape from Phlan" with a consistent background, without knowing how Ector Brahms got on the Cinnabar Throne? [/QUOTE]
