Time of Troubles

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

The Time of Troubles is a traumatic event in the Forgotten Realms, in 1358 DR, when various powers (primarily but perhaps not exclusively the Faerûnian pantheon) were confined to Toril in avatar form. It’s also called the Godswar.

Trouble Spots

The Xaeyruudh Campaign

In the Xaeyruudh campaign, the current year is 1365 DR (3500 MC) and the Time of Troubles did not occur. This is one of several departures from published Realmslore made in this particular campaign.
