Blackmoor historical periods are sort of tough to nail down, mostly due to how the setting evolved over its different iterations. Havard a ways back that gives a pretty good breakdown of the different "when's" of the setting, largely driven by the various licensors (TSR,s "DA" series of modules, Zeitgeist's d20 line)
For the record, "Last Days," in which the Throne of Stars is set, is ca. 1980s, in the calendar of the North, about 1100 years after Uther's rebellion. Ah! I knew I blogged a bit about this very subject:
http://thornschronicle.blogspot.com/201 ... round.htmlI don't think I've added very much to the timeline since I posted it for Rafe in that thread you referenced (also , at the Piazza).
Still huge gaps in my "fanon" version of Thorn's World That Was... but then, that just means I'll have to fill them eventually. :lol:
Havard and the rest of the gang can (and probably should) chime in here sooner or later.
Fanon material is sort of hard to pin down, because we've all developed Blackmoor in different ways. I've taken it one direction, Havard is exploring other angles in his Vales campaign. Rafe spent seven years on his Company of the Maiden Blackmoor saga. Havard and I both, I think, build off the DA module series material. Our Blackmoors are definitely rooted in Mystara's past. Rafe's "Maiden's" Blackmoor, I think, is a bit more of the Greyhawk/Wilder Lands type. I highly recommend reading through both the Vales and the Company of the Maiden material. Rafe and his crew's writing style puts my paltry efforts here to shame. :oops: (And he had Greg "The Great Svenny" Svenson playing in his game. You just can't compete with that)
