Dabron Sashenstar returns to Baldur's Gate after a successful expedition to Sossal.

Rumours are rampant in the lands east of Waterdeep that a new Beast Lord, a term given to those who breed rare, dangerous monsters such as owlbears and gorgimera, has arisen, as monsters associated with such men are suddenly increasing in number and seem to be working in concert.

Waterdeep puts a high premium on juvenile griffons and their eggs when Lord Piergeiron begins bolstering the numbers of their Griffon Cavalry.

• Lady Alustriel forges an alliance with Bruenor Battlehammer of Mithral Hall and helps defend the dwarf halls against the drow of House Baenre, leading an army drow, goblins, and kobolds of Menzoberranzan in an attack against Mithril Hall. The dwarves are joined by local barbarian tribes, svirfneblin, the forces of Nesmé and Silverymoon, and the Harpells of Longsaddle. Together, they defeat the drow and force them back underground.
• In the Battle of Keeper's Dale, many good folk are killed when the drow horde attacks Mithral Hall, including Knight in Silver Besnell, the svirfneblin Firble, and the Harpell wizard Regweld Harpell.

Khelben Arunsun shatters the Crown of Horns, freeing Laeral Silverhand from Myrkul's evil influence. He returns to Blackstaff Tower in Waterdeep with her to help her heal; within three years, they are inseparable, and Laeral is often referred to as Lady Arunsun.

The winter is one of the coldest and snowiest in memory. Frost giants wander as far south as Longsaddle.

In the Inner Sea Umberlee wandered the seas surrounding the Pirate Isles, attacking any pirates she met with hurricanes and storms, obliterating over two-thirds of the pirates' fleets. She also secretly appeared in the Trackless Sea after foreseeing the return of Iakhovas to make Slarkrethel her seraph.

House Oblodra (with its psionic powers unaffected by the Time of Troubles) plots to seize power over the drow city of Menzoberranzan. However, as the Troubles end, they are defeated and destroyed by House Baenre.

• A dwarf rebellion broke out in Llorkh. Jarbarkas, who joined the Waterdhavian volunteer force aiding the resistance, was captured after a Zhentarim ambush. Despite being interrogated by Geildarr Ithym, Jarbarkas refused to divulge information, so Geildarr animated a giant skeleton to kill the prisoner, but he was saved by the Heroes of Ascore and the dwarven resistance force. The Heroes proceeded to enter the Lord's Keep, defeating Geildarr and his female companion Cortarra to rescue Jarbarkas and Siulajia.
• The evil enchantress Cortarra was killed in a battle against the Heroes of Ascore.

One night in summer, a woman, clad in nothing but a falcon-head carnival mask, is observed walking from the City of the Dead in Waterdeep to that city’s south gate holding high what appears to be the real Silver Supplicant, when only fakes have been seen for the last 200 years.

Four archmages of the Cult of the Dragon come to Silverymoon and hurl spells to provoke Alustriel Silverhand to confront them. Alustriel and Taern "Thunderspell" Hornblade destroy two of the archmages, but a Cult dracolich then assaults the southern walls. Taern and the Spellguard deal with the dracolich, leaving Alustriel to face the remaining archmages alone. She slays one, but only the fortuitous arrival of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun and Laeral Silverhand save her life against the last.

Bruenor Battlehammer abdicates as Eighth King of Mithral Hall, leaving the throne to the restored Gandalug Battlehammer, now both First King and Ninth King.

In Waterdeep, droughts, increased monster activity, and political unrest plague the city in the months before Midsummer.
