[QUOTE="Prism, post: 7684379, member: 9501"] Honestly its best to ignore either the novel timeline or the adventures league timeline...or both. Salvatore reintroduces the companions as the first book of the sundering and the next four book (including Archmage) run as a continuous story over the next two years or so. If I remember correctly the extended story starts in winter, there is a winter in the middle of Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf and then Archmage ends during the next winter. There is no typo - all this happens around 1485-1487 as far as Salvatore is concerned. The novel writers typically don't want time jumps, so the rate of progress of the timeline in the Realms is typically very slow. It is also unusual for adventures to be released and to specific an exact year they are set in. Its usually left to the DM to set the year to whatever they want. Sometimes dates are assigned to adventure modules after the event. However in this case the AL dates conflict with the authors dates. You will need to choose which one to follow if you want one at all. I imagine the authors dates are considered more canon, especially when it comes to Archmage and the release of the demons, considering the tie in is so strong. [/QUOTE]
