1357 DR 15 Marpenoth - As Lord Fyzzar leads an attack against the walls of Bezantur, Red Wizard Aznar Thrul performs a spell at the Flaming Brazier and enters the plane of fire to ask Kossuth for help.

1357 DR 28 Marpenoth - A small group of Salamanders raid the city of Tyraturos in a last-ditch effort to cause havoc in Thay. This ambush was thwarted with the help of Tribune Aethon Tane, Lieutenant Nulara Nephtys, Rasha 'Blue Eyes', and recent arrival Shei Zhang.
