From what I understand, Ed Greenwood’s campaign never advanced into the Time of Troubles. So does he have his own time-line or just doesn’t advance the years? I know some DMs don’t care about the passing of years and just run. That’s fine, but I can’t run without a count!

I don't want to put words in Ed's mouth @TheEdVerse, the original group were the company of crazed venturers, the KoMD came latter. I know there have been lots of mini campaigns over the years as well (especially games at the library where Ed worked) with lots of other groups.
