So pretty much my campaign takes place In a region of land masses that have been split off of abeir'toril when the two pieces disconnected. They float in between the two in a Region called Dr'randos. What does DR stand for and what time would this setting best take place in? I want to be able to incorporate a lot of Toril's past into the lore but without making it directly affect the region by the current event that is happening. Any ideas would be much appreciated :) i wanna give my players an exciting area with a lot of background to the areas surrounding.
My best guess early 1490's.. Pretty sure The Sundering (late 1480's) is the last official event attached to a date... although when Adventure leagues started I think I read somewhere that in 2015 current campaign date was 1491.. /shrug maybe 1493? :D

If you want it during the drift, 1487.
I'd say 1488-1490 if you want it after the drift.

We should be at 1494 or 1495 now.
