The older Blackmoor setting was retconned to exist in Mystara's distant past. The Mystara planet also has sub-settings. In addition, unlike other D&D settings, Mystara had ascended immortal beings instead of gods. The human realms are based on various real-world historical cultures. Most adventures published for the "Basic" edition of D&D take place in "The Known World", a central continent that includes a varied patchwork of both human and non-human realms.

It was the default setting for the "Basic" version of the game throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Mystara is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role playing game.

That would make 1361 DR equal to 1006 AC.This Dungeons & Dragons-related article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. So we have 1012 AC linked to 5049 OC, which is 1367 DR. This fits with the Planescape links above, as the fall of Alphatia in 1009 AC would coincide with 124 Ha. There is no indication that the Rock as mentioned is not contemporary with its description in SJR5 Rock of Bral, which is set in 5049 OC. Karameikos: Kingdom of Adventure is contemporary with First Quest (p?) and is set in 1012 AC (this aligns with Poor Wizard’s Almanac III, also set in 1012 AC and published in 1994 like Karameikos: Kingdom of Adventure and First Quest. The introductory Advanced Dungeons & Dragons boxed set First Quest includes a Spelljammer adventure in which the antagonists are heading for the Rock of Bral (AdvBk, pp. There is an equally vague, yet direct, link between Mystara and Spelljammer. This provides a broad link between current time in Planescape and Mystara. It is unclear how long Farrow has been in Sigil, but certainly a few years. Farrow is spying in the Great School of Glantri when a Glantrian mage forcibly sends him to Sigil through a gate. Additionally, Uncaged: Faces of Sigil, set in 128 Ha, describes a Shadow Elf, Farrow, as an inhabitant of Sigil (p32). We know the Alphatian Empire disappeared from the surface of Mystara in 1009 AC as depicted in Wrath of the Immortals (p?). The Planewalker's Handbook, set in 128 Ha (p53), describes the Alphatian Empire as “fallen” (p33). There are some Planescape/Mystaran cross-overs. This would put Mystara wildly out of sync with the other campaign settings, and can be discounted as an example of Ravenloft’s famous mists transferring their victims through time as well as drawing them across planes. (p79) But Norwold was not colonized by Alphatia until 919 AC according to Dawn of the Emperors (Bk III, p7). In Domains of Dread the Dark Lord Meredoth is said to come from the Alphatian province of Norwold, arriving in 635 of the Barovian calander. In 1994 TSR converted Mystara to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons system and subsequently made some minor attempts to add it to the multiverse setting. It was the setting instead for the Dungeon & Dragons game, and grew from the module X1 Isle of Dread, which sketched out the world, and was included in all of the 1980 Dungeons & Dragons: Expert Sets. Mystara was, for most of its existence, not part of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons multiverse as originally described in the Player’s Handbook and Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Includes info about Elsir Vale from 3E Red Hand of Doom which exists in 4E Nerath: A discussion of whether all the worlds advanced 100+ years for 4E and 5E.For reference, here's the existing Mystara timeline:.The discussion includes future events, such as correlations with the Greyhawk 2000 "D&D Modern" setting.And also the world-gates from the Book of Marvelous Magic, which connect Mystara to Greyhawk, Dawn Patrol, Boot Hill, Gangbusters, and other early settings.) (I'd add to this list the world-gates which were mentioned in the AD&D conversion guide in the back of some of the Gazetteers and connect Mystara with Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms.

Here are the known crossovers between Mystara and the other worlds:.Mystara is one key world which hasn't been clearly synchronized with the other timelines.Also relevant is TSR's "Chronomancy and the Multiverse" ( RTF download) which notionally includes (though without dates) many worlds within the D&D Multiverse, including such obscure worlds as Historical Reference Campaign & Masque of the Red Death (D&D Earth), Gamma World, and Council of Wyrms.
