Notes[]

  1. The timeline on page 6 says the module takes place in Shou Year 2607 and in 1777 on the Wa calendar, though this latter date conventionally corresponds to 1359 DR. The 1777 Wa date is assumed to be incorrect, as Shou Year 2607 is also the date of Ochimo: The Spirit Warrior, published the same year. The standard Shou-to-Wa calendar conversion is correct in earlier entries.
