  • Lauraera Dlarayna of Arrabar, High Holy Temptress of Loviatar catches up with Althatha Ammaerits and tortures her to death for usurping the many temples of Loviatar to her cause.

    Lauraera commands two of her underlings, the priestesses Falindra and Yathrae to investigate the powers of the Lash of Loviatar (an artifact of Loviatar that Lauraera took from Althatha). The two do their job well, and then together plot to kill their superior - a deed that proves all too easy. Falindra then tries to kill her partner and the claim the rulership of the faith. Nevertheless, Yathrae outsmarts her rival, mastering a spell that enables her to take on a ghostlike form and avoid the multiple blade barriers and wailing whips casts by Falindra (This incident is probably the origin of the persistent but almost certainly false rumors that the Lash can call up and command "ghosts"). She takes the Lash and flees, using spells to conceal herself as a man, and the Lash in the form of a notched and scarred broadsword, a form that the Lash takes from time to time for unknown reasons). »

  • The half-elf mage Verendra Tathtar dies. The Tome of the Morning is not found in her home in the woods. Only a note scratched into the front door, "Lathanderians, seek your book where the Morninglord walked twice".

    Only senior clergy of the faith knew of the lore, a certain mountaintop in the Orsraun Mountains north of Turmish. One priest acts on his knowledge and brings the Tome in triumph to a Lathanderian temple in Arrabar in the fall of this year.

    There, an ambitious young priest by the name of Tethtor Kandrath reminds the priests that the god wanted the Tome to be out in the hands of the people, and so volunteers to take it. The high priests reluctantly agrees, and Tethtor begins to travel and spread the word of Lathander's faith. »

The guards attack the noblewoman turned horror, who escapes into the night.

    Claiming to the rightful owners of the Mask, the Asannath family offers 100,000 gold pieces for its return.

    Less than a month later, a Calishite merchant offers the Mask for sale in Scornubel. This causes a battle between priests of Mask and multiple independent thieves for the Mask. During the battle, a late arrival slew the merchant and made off with the Mask, but is himself slain in some mechanical trap in a nearby cellar. When the body of the thief was recovered many days later, the thieves hands were cut off and the Mask was gone again.
