Of course, looking at the timeline, the spaceport SJR7 describes at Palanthus is only 6 years old.

In my personal campaign, there is no SJ port at Palanthus, period.
There is a port on Taladas in the Minotaur Empire, and there is Mount
Nevermind.

But, I just wanted to point out the canon material in this case doesn't
contradict itself as firmly as folks might think.

I haven't been into Dragonlance since the Twins trilogy, so I'm no
expert.  But can any Dragonlance guru tell us what events occur in
Palanthus between 358 AC and 361/64 AC?  Perhaps internal Dragonlance
material will provide a solution.

I always feel its best, when dealing with canon to focus on specific
printed materials.  An in regards to specific worlds, the settings canon
supercedes SJ canon.  (ie FR printed material supercedes SJ printed
material on Toril, if they conflict, same for Greyhawk or Dragonlance).
The same applies to conflicts with Ravenloft or Planescape (ie if a
conflict exists about something on Krynn between Planescape and
Dragonlance, Dragonlance wins).  Spelljammer, Ravenloft, and planescape
still have priority in their own realms, of course.
