Spelljammer Temporis

[Dungeon Master]

Introduction
A coherent chronology is one of the touchstones of solid, believable world design but the Spelljammer setting has never had a coherent chronology. In part this was most likely a conscious design choice, since Spelljammer was intended not so much as a campaign setting as a campaign link, connecting all of TSR's settings together. However, it also likely came about from simple laziness on the part of some Spelljammer authors, who tended to ignore other Spelljammer material unless they wrote it themselves. Even the broad strokes of the Spelljammer universe's history are thus confused and contradictory.

It is possible to construct a generally coherent timeline for Spelljammer from references in a wide variety of sources. I have endeavored to do so, sticking strictly to published sources. The goal is to produce a timeline that Spelljammer dungeon masters can refer to when creating their own, specialized Spelljammer campaigns.

The first step in producing a coherent Spelljammer timeline is synchronizing the dating systems of the TSR settings. This is relatively difficult; it requires concrete intersection points, common events given a date in multiple worlds. Note all of the worlds have such intersection points, and several of the intersection points that do exist contradict each other.

This timeline omits the TSR settings of Birthright, Conan, Darksun, Lankhmar, Mystara, Odyssey, Planescape, Ravenloft, and Red Steel. Generally these settings have little or no connection to Spelljammer, and Spelljammer fits in their milieu very poorly.

Mystara and Red Steel have an alternative magical space travel system, but lack any direct connection to Spelljammer. There are no concrete chronological intersection points between Spelljammer and Mystara nor between Mystara and any other TSR setting, so any connection made here would be purely speculative. A dungeon master who wishes to connect Spelljammer and Mystara would be better served simply choosing a point where the settings' dating systems intersect.

Ravenloft and Planescape fill a special niche. The Demiplane of Fear, Ravenloft has no direct link to Spelljammer, but several Ravenloft novels provide specific chronological intersection points between multiple settings. Planescape novels and game products do mention Spelljammer, and they also provide some chronological intersection points across settings. Ravenloft and Planescape provide no timeline entries, but do get referenced for synchronizing the setting timelines.

The three primary TSR settings were Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and Greyhawk. Each of these settings had a Spelljammer sphere book produced specifically for that sphere, and each had native characters appear in Spelljammer novels, comics, and adventures. They formed the core of the Spelljammer setting. Although Kara-tur/Oriental Adventures and Al-Qadim were marketed as separate settings, they were actually regions of Toril, on the same planet as the Forgotten Realms setting. Like the Forgotten Realms they both had Spelljammer references appear in some of their products, and Kara-tur had native characters appear within Spelljammer novels and comics. The Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and Greyhawk settings provide the timelines that must be synchronized. Once they are linked up, the rest of the timeline begins to fall into place. This is easiest to accomplish by linking to the Forgotten Realms, since it is the setting with by far the largest number of published works, and the largest number of crossovers.

There are four sources for the chronological intersection points between the settings: Spelljammer products, Ravenloft novels, Planescape products, and Dragon magazine articles. Because the sources contradict each other in places, a hierarchy is needed to determine which source takes precedence over the others. The natural trump is Spelljammer, since the purpose here is to create a Spelljammer timeline.

Campaign Connections
Dragonlance/Forgotten Realms
The Spelljammer novel series provides us with our firmest chronological intersection point, and that point intersects the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms settings. The first Spelljammer novel, Beyond the Moons, is set on Krynn and is clearly set five years after the end of the War of the Lance (p76). The War of the Lance ended in 352 AC according to Dragonlance Adventures (p101), but that is really the year of the Whitestone Council. Given Teldin Moore's role as a muleskinner, and the continuing operations, his war likely ended in 353 AC (which other Dragonlance products list as the end of the War of the Lance). The second Spelljammer novel, Into the Void, is a Forgotten Realms crossover and is clearly set less then a year after Beyond the Moons (pp 63,168, & 172). "Novel Ideas" Dragon #196, an article providing a chronology of Realms fiction, sets Into the Void specifically in 1361 DR (p66). From this we get 1361 DR corresponding to 358 AC.

There are contradictory sources, however. The Ravenloft timeline has Lord Soth of Krynn entering the Demiplane of Fear in 357 AC, shortly after the Blue Lady's War (Dragonlance: Fifth Age, p22). It connects this to the year 720 in the Barovian calendar of Ravenloft (Domains of Dread, p17). It also has the Forgotten Realms elven vampire Jander Sunstar drawn from the Forgotten Realms into Ravenloft in 1098 DR in the Realms, and 452 in the Barovian calendar (Domains of Dread, p16, Villain's Lorebook, p16). However, "Novel Ideas" Dragon #196 places the Forgotten Realms/Ravenloft crossover novel in 1098 DR and 475 Barovian (p65). Following the Ravenloft/Dragonlance/Forgotten Realms link we have 1361 DR corresponding to 352 or 375 AC.

The Planescape accessory On Hallowed Ground also provides a contradiction. It states that the events of the Dragonlance novel, Dragons of Summer Flame, occurred recently (p164). The novel is set in 383 AC. It also states that the Time of Troubles occurred in the Forgotten Realms just over twelve years ago (p168). The Time of Troubles was in 1358 DR, so that would link 1370 DR and 383 AC. Using this as an intersection 1361 DR would correspond to 374 AC.

We can generally discount the Ravenloft and Planescape information here, because we've already established that Spelljammer products trump other sources for the purposes of this timeline, and because we have a contradiction within the Ravenloft timeline itself. So, we can designate 1361 DR and 358 AC as our first intersection point.

Greyhawk/Forgotten Realms
A Greyhawk/Forgotten Realms chronological intersection point is more difficult to arrive at, because the Spelljammer novel series never visited Oerth, the world of the Greyhawk setting. There is a Greyhawk/Ravenloft/Forgotten Realms intersection, through the Lich Azalin. Azalin entered Ravenloft from Greyhawk in 542 of the Barovian calendar (Domains of Dread, p16) and 391 CY on Oerth (King of the Dead, ch. 18). Linked to Jander Sunstar and the Forgotten Realms as noted above, this provides 1361 DR corresponding to 564 CY.

Dragon magazine provides an alternative correspondence. Ed Greenwood wrote a series of articles about the wizards Elminster, Mordenkainen, and Dalamar meeting in his home to discuss the magical affairs of Faerun, Oerth, and Ansalon. These articles reference some specific events in relation to each other, and are internally consistent (each successive article clearly occurs subsequent to the previous article). "Magic in the Evening" Dragon #185 states that the Forgotten Realms novel The Parched Sea, which "Novel Ideas" Dragon #196 dates to 1360 DR (p66), has recently occurred. "Magic in the Evening" Dragon #185 also states that the article is set prior to Vecna Lives (p62). Vecna Lives is set in 581 CY according to The Adventure Begins (p119). This would provide us with 1360 DR corresponding to 580 CY. The next two articles in the series bolster this conclusion, "The Wizards' Three" Dragon #188 (p32) is specifically set after Vecna Lives and "Three Wizards Too Many" Dragon #196 (p84) is set specifically after the beginning of the Greyhawk Wars in 582 CY (The Adventure Begins, p119).

Support for the Dragon article correspondence comes from comparing the Greyhawk/Forgotten Realms intersection with our firm Dragonlance/Forgotten Realms intersection. "Magic in the Evening" Dragon #185 clearly implies that the War of the Lance (353 AC) and the Blue Lady's War (357 AC) have just recently occurred. If 1361 DR equals 358 AC, and 1360 DR equals 580 CY, then the first article would take place shortly after the Blue Lady's War. On Hallowed Ground does provide a specific date of 1370 DR (p168) to compare with a 'current climate of war' sweeping Oerth (p166). The Greyhawk Wars officially end in 584 CY (From the Ashes: Atlas, p9), but wars between Iuz and Furyondy, and Nyrond and the Great Kingdom essentially continued. Certainly a 'climate of war' can be said to exist across Oerth for at least a decade after the end of the Greyhawk Wars.

We have, then, two conflicting intersections, 1361 DR with 564 CY, and 1361 DR with 581 CY. The Dragon articles provide the better choice, because they were written by Ed Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms, because they were written expressly to provide setting interactions, and because they place the two settings' internal chronology more closely inline with their publication histories. We can set our second intersection point at 1361 DR and 581 CY.

Calendars
With three 'firm' chronological intersection dates (1361 DR, 581 CY, & 358 AC) we can construct the timeline. However, we have to settle on a dating system. Most Forgotten Realms dates are provided in Dale Reckoning (DR), but many other systems of tallying years exist on Faerun, not to mention the lands of Kara-tur and Al-Qadim. Greyhawk likewise has several time systems, as does Dragonlance. Spelljammer products actually provide three additional systems. A chronology is easiest when a single dating system is used as the base, with others noted as needed. The elves are the current dominant power in space according Spelljammer, and Greyhawk is the oldest of TSR's settings, so the Olven calendar (OC) of Oerth will be used as the base dating system in this Spelljammer timeline.

Al-Qadim has no dating system, but Kara-tur has systems for Shou Lung, Wa, and Kozakura. The Shou system is predominant, in Kara-tur products the Wa and Kozakuran systems are described in relation to it. We lack a common event given a date on both the Dale Reckoning and Shou calendars; though the Horde Wars are copiously detailed and dated in various Forgotten Realms products, no Shou dating is providing for these events anywhere. With no intersection point, we fall back on the 'current' dates of the Kara-Tur boxed set and the original gray Forgotten Realms boxed set. This pegs 2607 of the Shou calendar to 1357 DR. This is reasonable, since the Horde Wars clearly occur within the next decade after each set.

We have three Spelljammer calendars: the Time of Unity (TU) system from SJA3 Crystal Spheres, the Anno Vulkarus/Promo Novo (AV/PV) system from SJA4 Under the Dark Fist, and the Astromundi Chronos (AC) system of the Astromundi Cluster boxed set.

We know that in 852 TU T'Laan the vampire has lived 317 years past his birth on Toril. We also know that in 1065 DR he served as an advisor to Brindor in the talks following the Battle of Ingdal's Arm. We can set the current year for Spelljammer: AD&D Adventures in Space to 5039 OC by comparing its information with the information in SJR5 Rock of Bral. Setting SJA3 Crystal Spheres to the same year is reasonable, since nothing within it indicates it occurred any later, and it came out soon after the original boxed set. This also makes T'Laan twenty-five at the Battle of Ingdal's Arm, again reasonable.

463 AV is the stated current year for SJA4 Under the Dark Fist (p51). The module provides only two clues about where it fits within the larger chronology. Based on the background of the pre-generated PCs it occurs post-War of the Lance, and the lack of mention of the Scro indicates it predates the II Unhuman War. If it is set in 5041 OC then the War of the Lance is over, yet the II Unhuman War has yet to begin in any of the major three spheres.

The Astromundi Chronos of the Astromundi Cluster boxed set is not a simple count of years. Like the Kozakuran calendar of Kara-tur it is divided into yearlong cycles. The Kozakuran calendar uses sixty-year cycles, but the Astromundi calendar uses thirteen-year cycles. The cycles are numbered, but the years are not. The Astromundi Cluster details the sphere's history until year Munigor of the 1300th cycle. Fortunately, the year names follow the same pattern; Munigor is always the second year of its cycle. We can express the AC year with a simple slash system: year/cycle. Since the system began with the First Cataclysm of the sphere, it is currently 16,889 years since the calendar began. There is no indication how the Astromundi Chronos corresponds to any other calendar, so we have to assign a current year to the Astromundi Cluster boxed set. It was printed in 1993, a year after War Captains' Companion and Rock of Bral. With no other markers, setting the current year at 5049 OC, the same as Rock of Bral makes sense.

The accepted primary dating system of Greyhawk is Common Years (CY); according to the "Brief Historical Timeline for the Flanaess" card sheet in From the Ashes 581 CY equates to 5043 OC. Therefore 5043 OC, 581 CY, 358 AC, 1361 DR, 2611 Shou, 465 AV, 856 TU, and 9/1299 AC are all now synchronized.

Of course, there are other issues which effect dating. For example, years, days, or months could be of differing lengths. For the purposes of this timeline, however, we must ignore these problems and assume one year equals one year. Otherwise the project is unfeasible.

This is not a comprehensive history of all of TSR's campaign settings. It only includes events listed in Spelljammer products, or events that had a global significance. Faerun's Time of Troubles and Krynn's Cataclysm are prime examples of the sort of non-Spelljammer related events that were considered influential enough to be included.

Comments and additions welcome. For suggested additions, please note if the said addition is from a TSR published source and if an actual date is given or if it must be inferred.

Entry format
Entries are listed by year. Each entry is begun with a notation indicating the game setting it comes from (ie [SJ] = Spelljammer, [FR] = Forgotten Realms, [GH] = Greyhawk, [AQ] = Al Qadim, [DL] = Dragonlance, [KT] = Kara Tur). They are followed by the date in the world's own calendar (if not a Spelljammer only event) and a citation with the source and pagination.

* Events marked with an asterisk do not have a specific time notation but the general chronology is correct.

@ Events marked with a '@' symbol are past events with no specific time notation nor a sense of when the event occurred. These events are best guesses on my part.

c Dates preceded by a 'c' are 'circa'. Dates without the 'c' are specific.

[SJ] *In the aftermath of the First Cataclysm, the population of the planet Astromundi expanded considerably. This led to wars, some lasting decades, between rival nations, as well as persecution of the non-human Astromundian population, particularly the elves and dwarves. Many human offspring begin exhibiting mutations and they are banished into Astromundi's Underdark. (c1/1 - 8/1064 AC)

{Evermeet: Island of the Elves, p227}
[FR] The Fifth Crown War ends with the utter defeat of the Vyshaan and the dissolution of Aryvandaar. Much of the High Forest is abandoned for an age, leaving the forest open so the gods might restore its peace. The madness of the Vyshaan clan compelled even their most fervent followers to abandon them before all the elves lay dead at their hands. While the final fate of the Vyshaan elves is not recorded, most Tel'Quessir believe them dead and executed at the hands of Elven Court. Still, some rebellious elves across the centuries whisper tales of the four sons of Vyshaan who escaped to the west and to the stars to quietly marshal their strength and await such a time as they could return in glory to Faerun.

They are the dominant sect in the thri-kreen religion, worshipping the Mantis God of the Eternal Lotus. They launch an unsuccessful crusade against other races and faiths, trying to force them into following the Eternal Lotus teachings. Their crusade is unsuccessful, breaking their domination of wildspace and causing the rise of more moderate sects devoted to the Mantis God.

Worshippers of these two pantheons, known latter in Realmspace as the Untheric and Mulhorandi pantheons, had been kidnapped from their home plane and enslaved by the famed Imaskari sorcerers. These sorcerers had been powerful enough to create a magical barrier to planar access into the sphere. Ptah uses two mythical spelljammers, the war galley/river barge MATET/SEMKTET and the GALLEY OF THE GODS, to transport avatars of these powers, which then overthrow the Imaskari sorcerers.

[FR] Spelljamming is discovered by the magocracy of Netheril on Toril in Realmspace. (c-1114 DR )
{Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves, p35}[1]
c2618 to 2718
[FR] The Empire of Netheril on Faerun becomes the first human spelljamming nation of Toril. The Skyward Realms, as the space mariners of Netheril called Realmspace, was believed to be the next great frontier for raw materials, such as mined ores, spellcraft, and "discovered" magical items. The Netherese explorers, however, were also responsible for racial "experiments," basically vivisecting anything they ran across. This gave the Netherese, the only Faerunian humans to have ventured into Realmspace up until 2618, a very bad name and a horrid reputation-akin to the fear generated when an illithid spelljamming ship was seen. This dread did nothing but separate the Netherese from the spelljamming community already in space and made trade nearly impossible. In fact, Netherese ships were attacked on sight. Oberon, an arcanist born during this time in Netheril's history, tried his best to mend his nation's reputation in space, but it was to no avail. One hundred years after the first ship ventured above Toril's surface, Netheril recalled the last one. The tremendous expense of armoring and defending their ships far exceeded any profits to be made in Realmspace. Since the Netherese were unsuccessful in creating their own helms and other spelljamming items-being forced to rely on the Arcane for such materials- they decided to drop out of Realmspace. Oberon, distraught over the loss of his love, moved to Yeoman's Loft and attempted to maintain a presence in Realmspace. Even his death 10 years later didn't hamper Netheril's presence, as others who felt and shared his dedication continued in his wake. (-1064 DR/2795 NY to -1164 DR/2895NY)

c2718
[FR] The Empire of Netheril deserts spelljamming as too costly and expensive. Great wealth entered the groundling city, but spelljamming proved an even greater expense. The archwizards decided that the risk was far too great to justify the tremendous
expense of lost ships and murdered crews. Spelljamming was officially abandoned at that point in time, but Yeoman's Loft continued to serve as a spelljamming port for several private spelljamming companies. (c.-964 DR/2895 NY)

2662 to 2728
[FR] The Archwizard Oberon specialized in "quasidimensional transport" and was an ardent supporter of Netheril's entrance into Realmspace. Even after Netheril's other archwizard's stopped funding expeditions into Realmspace, Oberon made sure that they continued, hoping to discover some valuable resource that would place him ahead of the other archwizards. He never found that resource. Oberon did go out into Realmspace on a few occasions, seeking to re-establish ties with other space-faring races. While other Realmspace denizens respected him, those same creatures retained little respect for the Netheril nation, whom they viewed as corrupt and evil. (-1020DR/2839 NY to -954 DR/2905 NY)

[FR] The Weeping War was the decades long conflict between the Army of Darkness and the elven city of Myth Drannor on Faerun. A long incident in this conflict was the campaign known as the three Greenwing Wars. These three battles were so named for Myth Drannor's primary ally in waging them, an elven man-o-war. Responding to a magical plea for help from a grounded ally among Cormanthyr's wizards, the Elven Imperial Fleet of Realmspace sent Captain Oncith Ilbenalu to aid the elves with his green crystalline-winged man-o-war, the MONARCH MORDENT, and his trusted crew of bards, wizards, and crack archers. Dominating the three battles in which it participated, the Monarch provided air cover and heavy weaponry with its ballistae and catapult that aided the ground troops immeasurably. In fact, its arrival changed the tide of the war in the northern forest and gave the outmatched and outnumbered elves some significant victories. With the Third Greenwing War, Captain Oncith's pride overcame his sense as he maneuvered so close to the treetops and the Army of Darkness forces that his helmsman could not maneuver effectively. When Gaulguth the Nycaloth flew skyward, there was little beyond ineffectual missile fire to stop him from using his great axe, Heartcleaver, to shatter one of the ship's wings at its base! With the magical shock slaying the helmsman immediately, the MONARCH MORDENT crashed into the trees and atop nearly 200 members of the Army of Darkness. Since that lost battle, the photosynthetic wings continued to grow, and large crystalline webworks wrapped around the clearings and the trees in this northern glade now called Monarch's Fall Glade. While most animals shun the amber-and-emerald crystal webs and walls, many elves used this as a redoubt and shelter both during and long after the Weeping War. (Eleint 712-Alturiak 713 (133 days))

[SJ] The Cloak of the First Pilot Campaign. The scro Tarantula Fleet is approached by the undead Neogi mage Skarkesh, who forms an alliance with them to recover the Cloak of the First Pilot from the Cloakmaster, Teldin Moore. This attempt encompasses four battles, as the Imperial Elven Fleet squadron stationed at the Rock of Bral (previously unaware of the Scro conquest of Spiral) fights to gain the Cloak for its commander, Admiral Uliananon Cirathorn.
The Battle of Ironpiece. The Scro fleet (27 ships strong), along with Skarkesh's pyramid ship, intercepts Teldin Moore aboard the hammership PROBE as it is about to make planetfall on the gnome colony world of Ironpiece. The Imperial Elven squadron (five ships strong) intervenes, and a gnomish fleet from Ironpiece arrives as well, leading to a confusing, three-way battle. When the hours long contest is over, the scro have lost two viperships, three scorpionships, two waspships, and one mammothship. The Elves lost one man-o-war, and had another damaged, and the gnomes lost a sidewheeler and several small spellfighters. This battle is generally seen as a gnomish victory as they drive the other two fleets from their colony world.
{The Maelstrom's Eye, pp89-112}
The Raid on Port Walkaway. Still determined to acquire the Cloak of the First Pilot, the Scro launch a raid on the gnomish naval base of Port Walkaway. The attack is a disaster, as the elves had warned the gnomes of it in advance (hoping to patch up relations after accidentally firing on gnomish vessels in the previous battle). Of the twelve vessels the Scro dispatched on the raid, only five survived. The gnomes lost seven small craft and had two large ships destroyed on the ground, as well as some buildings burned. Teldin Moore fled during the battle on the gnomish experimental vessel PERILOUS HALIBUT, heading for Herdspace.
{The Maelstrom's Eye, 143-156}
The Battle of the Cloaked Ships. Realizing the elves were employing cloaking helms, the scro and Skarkesh developed a powder they could jettison to reveal the men-o-war. When two of the elven men-o-war crept in close to investigate the Tarantula Fleet, this technique was used. One of the men-o-war was destroyed, the other damaged but the scro suffered no losses.
{The Maelstrom's Eye, p158}
The Battle of Herdspace. A final battle is fought in Herdspace as the Imperial Elven squadron and the Tarantula fleets fight over the Cloak of the First Pilot. Losses are severe on all sides. The elves lose two men-o-war and an armada, only one man-o-war of the squadron survives the campaign to return to the Rock of Bral. The Tarantula fleet loses the pyramidship, a squidship, and a scorpionship. Only ten of the original 27 Tarantula fleet vessels survive the campaign to return to Spiral. Admiral Cirathorn of the IEN, as well as the scro commanders Admiral Halker and General Vorr, all perish as well. Teldin Moore and the Cloak of the First Pilot survive to continue his quest.
{The Maelstrom's Eye, pp280-294}
[SJ] Lar, an elven world in a remote crystal sphere, is destroyed by the scro. In the battles around Lar the Elven armada ECLIPSE is destroyed and the elves lose ten vessels for every goblinoid vessel destroyed.

The Spelljammer itself was the subject of conflicting reports, with some saying it was destroyed, others claiming it fled into the Broken Sphere or otherwise escaped the battle.

[1] There are some discrepancies between the dates given in Netheril: Empire of Magic and Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves. The later is more recent, and most likely correct, but the wording of the entries allows both to be used with little conflict. The events are far in the past, and the difference between the two only fifty years, so I've simply left both within the timeline without reconciling them.

These events are dated for OC, but also for the Forgotten Realms DR and the Nether Years (NY) of the Empire of Netheril. -3859 DR equals 1 NY, according to Netheril: Empire of Magic.

[2] This War Captain's Companion entry is dated after the 'current date' of that work. This results from an internal inconsistency. Since having this event occur after the 'current' year of the WCC doesn't contradict anything, I left it as is.
