=== 1019 ===
=== The Dukes of Baldur's Gate (1491 or later) ===
*Faibleur the Fleeting succeeds Dyckson Nightbinder as master vampire in Baldur's Gate.<ref name="vbv" />
The book [[The Dukes of Baldur's Gate]] tells us who was on the Council of Four last year. It records Gortash's new position as Archduke, which happens in game. Presumably, then, "last year" is 1491. However, the events below are not specified and could have happened in 1491 or 1492. (or later, if we assume Baldur's Gate 3 spans more than one year).
*Hideous Gathwycke 'Who Knew Not Satiety' succeeds Faibleur as master vampire in Baldur's Gate.<ref name="vbv" />
* Duke Vanthampur dies.
* Grand Duke Ravengard dissappears during the Fall of Elturel.
* Lord [[Enver Gortash]] becomes a contender.
* Ravengard returns and endorses Gortash for Archduke


=== 1138 ===
=== Dead Druid's Journal (~1440) ===
*Donnela Szarr the Architect, who opened [[the Tourmaline Depths]], succeeds Gathwycke as master vampire in Baldur's Gate.<ref name="vbv" />
Described as "a handwritten journal, abandoned for some fifty years." Presumably no earlier than 1430 and no later than 1460.
 
=== 1204 ===
*Vellioth the Martinet succeeds Donnela Szarr as master vampire in Baldur's Gate.<ref name="vbv" />


=== 1276 ===
* A druid records his first encounter with the [[Shadow Curse]]. <ref name="moonhavenlog">[[Dead Druid's Journal]]</ref>
*[[Cazador Szarr]] 'The Avid' succeeds Vellioth as master vampire in Baldur's Gate.<ref name="vbv" />


== 1300s ==
=== Moonhaven Logbook (1372 or later) ===
=== 1322 ===
The year of the [[Moonhaven]] logbook is not given. However, we find an [[Apprentice's Journal]] in the well the Apothecary's assistant is said to go missing by that is dated 3 Uktar 1371.  
* Astarion makes [[Sebastian]] a vampire spawn, one of his first victims.
 
=== 1356 ===
* Bruenor Battlehammer slays shadow dragon Shimmergloom, and becomes Eighth King of Mithral Hall. <ref name="dwarvenhistoryabriged">''[[Flintdigger's Abridged Dwarven History]]''</ref>
=== 1371 ===
==== Uktar ("The Rotting") ====
*3 Uktar — Apprentice starts writing a journal <ref name="apprenticejournal">''[[Apprentice's Journal]]''</ref>
*6 Uktar — Two druids from the [[Emerald Grove]] are sent up north. <ref name="emeraldlogbook">''[[Logbook XII: 1371]]''</ref>
*9 Uktar — Adventurers from Baldur's Gate set up camp, clearing some forest near the Emerald Grove.<ref name="emeraldlogbook" />
*10 Uktar — The Emerald Grove Druids confrontation with the adventurers doesn't go well.<ref name="emeraldlogbook" />
*12 Uktar — The Emerald Grove Druids retaliate with a mudslide. They hear reports of a Red Wizard in a nearby village. Rangers are sent to investigate. <ref name="emeraldlogbook" />
====Nightal ("The Drawing Down")====
*6 Nightal — Former Red Wizard [[Ilyn Toth]] starts a journal. He has begun work as an Apothecary in [[Blighted Village|Moonhaven]]. He continues his necromantic research and sends his familiar to secure bodies.<ref name="darkjournal">''[[Dark Journal]]'' — [[Ilyn Toth]]</ref>
 
=== Unknown ===
==== Olam's Journal (1300s) ====
[[Olam's Journal]] begins after Ketheric is slain, elsewhere described as being a hundred years before the beginning of the game.{{Verify}}
 
The journal's use of "Darkness" presumably is recording the days since the [[shadow curse]] was unleashed. [[Books by Author|Olam]] describes it as being as cold as the "Claw of Winter," so we can assume it isn't during Alturiak.
 
* Darkness 2 — Olam recalls how Ketheric's curse changed the land. <ref name="olamjournal">''[[Olam's Journal]]'' — Olam</ref>
* Darkness 5 — Olam calls his familiar Corvin to him. He searches the land.<ref name="olamjournal" />
* Darkness 18 — Olam finds scrolls by the House of Healing, but doesn't dare enter. <ref name="olamjournal" />
* Darkness 26 — Olam can bear his torment no longer. <ref name="olamjournal" />
 
==== Moonhaven Logbook (1372 or later) ====
The year of the [[Moonhaven Logbook]] is not given. However, the [[Apprentice's Journal]] is dated 3 Uktar 1371.  


Further digging in the Apothecary will also dig up the [[Dark Journal]] which reveals the apothecaries past as a Red Wizard named Ilyn Toth. It explains why he goes to great pains to note whether visitors to Moonhaven are Thayan or not. The Dark Journal is also dated 1371. However, since this logbook refers to events in earlier months that are certainly after he has gotten established, it is probably not recorded in 1371 but a later year.

==Unspecified Year==
=== Olam's Journal (Start of the Shadow Curse)===
===Waning Moon: Consignments===
Darkness is not a month, but since this journal does record events in chronological order it has been included. Presumably it is recording the days since the [[Shadow Curse]] was unleashed. He descibes it as being as cold as the 'Claw of Winter', so we can assume it isn't during Alturiak.
