yesterday comment added Nobody the Hobgoblin @Jack, Thank you. I accepted Eddymages in this case, as his seems a more clear cut proof that Acererak could be casting spells according to the lore, by this solving my problem. But as always with your answers, a lot of really valuable, practical wisdom here.

yesterday comment added Jack @NobodytheHobgoblin I've added a bit more specificity, but while it would be nice to have a consistent backstory, imo, there just is one (a "consistent" one). If you want that kind of setting, something like Eberron might be a better fit. The FR just isn't like that, as has been demonstrated across many questions.

yesterday comment added Pyrotechnical @NobodytheHobgoblin are your players focusing on all those events that it really matters? If they are, then you're probably better off making it the players' job to figure out what happened as some sort of extended skill check at their local library. If it's not a big deal, then you can just dole out one of those relevant pieces of lore and associated time frame when you need to justify something relevant to the players.

yesterday comment added Nobody the Hobgoblin Jack, in general I of course agree, and I can change things around, but there is actually a lot of stuff happening "a little over a century ago" in that adventure - the Spellplague happens, Mezro is shifted, the dwarven mines are abandoned due to volcanic eruption, Ubtao decides to abandon Chult for good, the Aldani go into hiding, Artus Cimber gains the Ring of Winter. You'll interact with many of them during the adventure, several of them expereienced it first hand, and it would be really nice to have a consistent backstory. Not my downvote, btw.
