* Founding of [[Hardby]]. Suloise wizard [[Ena Norbe]] sets sail from Safe Town and claims an inlet east of the mouth of the [[Selintan River]] as her own. Ena Norbe establishes [[Norbe Harbor]], later named Hard Bay after bad weather in winter and plague in spring. (The Adventure Begins p.56; Slavers p.32)

The Adventure Begins (1998) p.56 gives a date of 366 OR ({{Date|366|OR|CY}}) fo Ena Norbe's journey, but Slavers (2000) p.32 dates it to -278 CY. The latter is probably an error in date conversion, failing to account for the lack of a year zero in the Common Year calendar. The date of 366 OR / {{Date|366|OR|CY}} is most likely correct.

Notes

The Adventure Begins (1998) p.56 gives a date of 366 OR (-279 CY) fo Ena Norbe's journey, but Slavers (2000) p.32 dates it to -278 CY. The latter is probably an error in date conversion, failing to account for the a lack of a year zero in the Common Year calendar.[2] The date of 366 OR / -279 CY is most likely correct.

  1. Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000), p.13.
  2. "When calculating Common Years prior to the Declaration of Universal Peace in 1 CY, remember that Common Year reckoning has no “year zero.” Thus, the time elapsed between 5 CY and –5 CY is only nine years, not ten."[1]
