[edit] Devastatingly powerful

Is this true? I remember in the first book of the avatar triology it was said Mystra couldn't see the staircase Helm was guarding because she was neither a deity nor a "great mortal" as it says 66.189.93.53 (talk) 02:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kelemvor?

I know 3e refers to Kelemvor as a god of death, but I don't remember seeing where in the Avatar trilogy he is promoted. At the end of "Waterdeep" he seems to be a mortal still. When was he ascended? 207.145.133.34 14:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

God only knows if you'll ever read this, this long after you asked, but... in one of the two books set after the trilogy but continuing the same plotline.Krilia 14:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

It was during the Cyric series, wasn't it? I can't remember if it was book 1 or 2, though. Turlo Lomon 09:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moander and Finder

I believe that Moander's demise was not a part of the "Time of Troubles" storyline, and occurred after the gods had been restored. I'm going to remove Moander from the list of destroyed gods. Caelarch 18:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

What are all the sources of the information. For those wanting to read the stories of the Time of Troubles they don't know where to go. Nothings footnoted.

I've added one source, but don't know any more books about this. OnisanT 09:51, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

See this article and follow a bit of logic: Forgotten Realms is notable because it's the second (or maybe most) famous campaign setting devised for D&D, with numerous novels and play materials created for it. The linked article indicates the designers' assertion that the Time of Troubles was one of the most well-known events in that setting, and furthermore indicates how the event in the campaign setting was connected to the real-world release of the notable 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. In addition, due to its length, it would be unwise to merge this article into a "parent-in-concept" article such as Forgotten Realms. Therefore, this topic is notable enough to receive its own article, and I've removed the notability template accordingly. --DachannienTalkContrib 10:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Real World Timeframe?

I was wondering, and others may want to know as well, what time frame ((real world ) ie: 1998)) these events were issued from WotC or TSR. I find it interesting that there material relating solely to the events, and not to the promotion or real world sale and introduction of such lore. All of the "in-game" stuff is well done, but there is no real world ties showing or mentioning the game product. 66.207.82.237 (talk) 04:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
