The Ravenloft timeline works for Ravenloft (it is extremely well
done, like all Kargatane products), but not for Spelljammer. This is
because it is focused on the RL novels, and the authors never tried
to make things fit. even within RL itself there are inconsistancies
(which they address in that timeline) but no contact for SJ.

The current version of my timeline works okay, but be aware there are
a few 'created' events in there. I am working on a new, annotated
version which will _only_ make use of printed sources. It is a long
term project, don't hold your breath on it:) It does you the same
chronology link I explain in the current timeline.
