Events
- The plague known as the Red Death sweeps across the Flanaess. (Dungeon #124 p.36)
- Guide to the World of Greyhawk completed. The Savant-Sage completes his famous work, consisting of at least two other volumes which are eventually lost. (Guide p.9; Glossography p.2)
- Otiluke joins the Circle of Eight. (LGJ #0 p.6)
- Theodain Eraison enters the the Passage of Slerotin during his explorations of the Hellfurnaces. (Return of the Eight p.60)
- This appears to contradict Dragon #241 which dates the rediscovery to 577 CY. However, Return of the Eight does note that Theodain was one of the first to enter the tunnel; perhaps the discovery was not formally recognized until the following year.
- Warnes Starcoat appointed Chief Sorceress Councilor to Duke Karll of Urnst, replacing The Seer after his disappearance. (LGJ #0 p.11)
- Shadows attack the sage Warfel VI and steal the Pyronomicon of Keraptis. (Dragon #241 p.78)
- 1,000 year anniversary of the founding of the Scarlet Brotherhood. Their millennialist faction, following the prophecies of the martyred heretic Huro, believe a miracle will occur which purifies and strengthens the Brotherhood. (Fate of Istus p.110)
- Monsters from the Hanging Glacier of Alisedran attack the Schnai barbarians, part of a regular 20 year cycle. (Rumors and Whispers of the Flanaess)
