The Time of Troubles is precipated when the gods Bane and Myrkul try to steal the Tablets of Fate from the overdeity, AO. Fed up with the gods for their habitual pursuit of power and negligence toward their mortal faithful, Lord AO relegates every god (except for the guardian god Helm, selected to protect the gates to the heavens) to walk among their followers on Toril.
• The Battle of Ascore occurs, and ruins the Zhentarim plan to expand their territory westwards.
The Heroes of Ascore fought off the combined forces of the Zhentarim, Kraken Society, the Arcane Brotherhood, and several monsters, using ancient Netherese statuettes and a ring of reversal. During the battle the ancient bricks of Ascore rose up, revealing a horde of undead, which dragged the Zhentarim general, Lord Vaalgamon, and his contingent of troops, beneath the earth. Ice Mountain orcs and trolls attacked from the west, the armies of Zhentarim troops charged from the east, and mercenaries moved in from the south. With the help of the wizard Amelior Amanitas the Heroes activated the statuettes, which called forth legions of monsters, including purple worms. These monsters stormed the battlefield from the rear, and all present destroyed each other in a dire battle. Except the Heroes, they escaped.
