===The Dukes of Baldur's Gate (1491–1492)===
=== Olam's Journal (1300s) ===
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). 
[[Olam's Journal]] begins after Ketheric is slain, elsewhere described as being a hundred years before the beginning of the game.{{Verify}}
*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


===Dead Druid's Journal (~1440) ===
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.  
Described as "a handwritten journal, abandoned for some fifty years." Presumably no earlier than 1430 and no later than 1460.

===Moonhaven Logbook (1372 or later)===
=== 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.

===Olam's Journal (start of the shadow curse)===
=== Dead Druid's Journal (~1440) ===
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 describes it as being as cold as the "Claw of Winter", so we can assume it isn't during Alturiak.  
Described as "a handwritten journal, abandoned for some fifty years." Presumably no earlier than 1430 and no later than 1460.
