• Dungeons and Dragons (Dragonlance), Dungeons and Dragons (Ravenloft): c. 1594 (720 BC). Lord Soth enters Barovia in Ravenloft from 357 AC. He is soon joined by Azrael Dak and the Vistana Magda Kulchevich. Soth destroys Medraut, son of Duke Gundar, and destroys Magda's Vistani tribe. After a battle with Strahd von Zarovich, Soth pursues Caradoc into the Mists, and the Core domain of Sithicus is formed. Azrael becomes his new seneschal. (Knight of the Black Rose, Ravenloft Campaign Setting (3rd Edition). Although this was originally used to synchronize 357 AC and 720 BC, the Planewalker's Handbook synchronized 383 AC with the 128th year of Factol Hashkar's Reign. In turn, Die Vecna Die! synchronized the 130th year with 755 BC in Ravenloft and 591 CY in Greyhawk. Factoring that in, it's more likely that Soth was pulled from seven years in the future here, rather than the greater god Vecna leaving a Demiplane of Dread- at that brief moment fully under his control- 13 years earlier than the actual, true present in Die Vecna Die! Possibly, the Mists took Soth from just the right moment during his history on Krynn- pursuing Caradoc after the Blue Lady's War- so that he would be in the right frame of mind and do what was needed in 720 BC.)
