- ↑ There is a discrepancy between For Duty & Deity and Faiths and Pantheons on the year Waukeen's rescue took place. The adventure module says the events take place late in the year 1370 DR and gives 24 Nightal as the official date of her return to godhood. The Faiths and Pantheons sourcebook says she was rescued and regained her divinity in 1371 DR.
- This is the year the information contained in the source book The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier is based.
