Most likely won't matter. One problem with my first effort, IMO, is
that it had too many groundling references. I'm only including
references that affect a sphere's Wildspace broadly (such as the Time
of Troubles in the Realms) or that are specifically Spelljammer in
content (the Netherese abandoning spelljamming0.

Minor Groundling events (like the Greyhawk Wars or the War of the
Lance) won't be touched. :)

The new timeline I'm creating will _only_ include printed events, I
envision it as a framework which GMs can use to add there own SJ
history onto (because it will be naturally enough, rather sparse).
