So to ask again, or rather to ask outright, is this after the Spellplague or did that not happen?  I know you said no particular point of the timeline, but that's still a pretty big event is why I'm asking.  It would also affect the map for the Realms since the land changes substantially between then and what's canon these days after the cataclysmic event in question.<br/><br/>But as for the thing about magic, I'm not surprised by that answer, having already assumed as much given my vast experience with Forgotten Realms lore lol.  I could probably write a thesis paper about all the useless information I have in my head.  I'm not joking on that either since I've read all kinds of R.A Salvatore stuff as well as just general wikipedia pages about the D&D universe.
