[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9184604, member: 7034611"] not while playing through the War of the Lance, future events from the perspective of the chars cannot be canon. If you played during the 5th Age, you could use the novels as canon - or not, if you also played the War of the Lance, then whatever happened during it is canon for your table Actions the chars take during an adventure cannot be canonical to me, as the events at your table can be very different. So either there is a canonical version which no table follows, or there is no canonical version at all. The distinction is academic, but I lean towards there isn’t one for simplicity. In short: locations are canonical, events are not. Canon is the backstory / history, not the adventure you are playing. you could have argued at any point in time, there was no reason to wait, nor is the fact that we only (?) do now any indication that the novels are canonical.
