* The plague known as the '''[[Red Death]]''' sweeps across the Flanaess. (Dungeon #124 p.36)

* [[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.''
