In Chapter 11, there is a date of 5104 for the GSS2 around Solhaven. Those events began in 5102, not 5104. NAAMIT (talk) 08:06, 26 May 2023 (CDT)

Correction to the above statement about Ch11. The GSS was absolutely in Solhaven in 5102 (2002). Then it left. This is correctly identified in Ch9, where it talks about the fall of the city and being named Nighthaven on October 23, 2002. It was freed on October 29. While there were small events that happened in 5103 (2003) in Solhaven, such as Maimara retreating to the Luukos temple for safety with the pommel, there were no substantial invasions or occupation during that time.

In early 5104 (2004), war does return to Solhaven, but it is not occupied. The Ch11 reference to rumors of the sword's final piece (blade) being found in Zul Logoth and making its way to Solhaven is correct. Zerroth's forces have been attacking it by early March, 2004, and by mid-April he has been forced into a lasting sleep by the Resistance and is out of the picture.

What is probably difficult to determine from this account of the GSS is that the events referenced in Ch11 actually span almost two years. Having two years of events condensed into 4 paragraphs, contrasted against other parts of this document, may be a bit misleading but it is not necessarily wrong. Morvule attacking the city with undead children happened almost a full year after Zerroth's attacks, on January 31, 2005 (5105), right after the Animate Dead spell was released. It wasn't until some time after that that the sword fell into Ulstram's hands, and the merchant only handed it over because Morvule found out where he was and was en route... though this account's recounting of it being due to him being moved about the dead children still makes sense in the case of a biased author.

For greater context on the two year bit, the Black Temple rose into the sky later that same year (5105) on September 4, 2005. Draezir took the city (again), renaming it (again) Nighthaven. It was freed again, and the quest ended very very early morning on September 9.

Hopefully this helps clarify. I've been doing some significant record-combing to get the GSS category updated because it's sorely lacking for a storyline that's had such lasting impact on how they are viewed still even today.
