Synopsis

On the eve of the Time of Troubles, before the chaos of spilled blood and roaming avatars descends on Faerûn, the goddess Mystra, facing the loss of her divinity, devises a plan to preserve her power by entrusting a mortal with her divine energy until a suitable successor can be found -- a burden that could destroy or madden whoever bears it.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
