Thank you for the information, interesting for me as non-DnD player.
BTW, was there a kind of development in clothing and armor style as same as in technology from 1281 to 1494 on Toril, like in our world, or are the dates just without any meaning out of story events, so that it's a totally static world?
Wow, this is one of my old posts, I can't believe someone went so far back in this forum to bring it to the first page again. This is outdated, I need to make a new updated timeline. Anyways, technology stays the same in D&D, buddy. Though time progresses, people still use swords and bows and arrows in the past, present, and likely in the future. But why worry about the tools? The Forgotten Realms campaign setting's history is RICH with lore from millennia before 1281 to 1494, and not all of it is explained in Forgotten Realms D&D games like Baldur's Gate 3. There are novels like the Drizzt books, comic books, source books, etc.
