What's the current year in Sigil? I've heard 4LE (4 Lady's Edict) thrown around, and am wondering what the basis for that date is (i.e. the reasoning behind it). Does anybody have a timeline of events that occured after the faction war? (Since I play 4E, I'm using the info from the 4E DMGII as a basis for my campaign, if that helps.)
What year is it in Sigil now?

Re: What year is it in Sigil now?
Hashkar, not Haskar.
The Planescape timeline stopped advancing officially after 2nd edition (in the first year of the Lady's Edict), but the Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms timelines continued to advance. What the year is in Sigil depends on what the year is on other worlds.
Hashkar 131 should be the same as Lady's Edict 1, for convenience's sake if nothing else. That's what I assume, anyway. Keep in mind the Lady's Edict calendar is from the 3rd edition Planescape Campaign Setting from Planewalker.com, and is thus only official in a purely nominal, WotC will ignore it (because they don't own it) sense.
So:
Planescape: Currently Lady's Edict 1 (Die Vecna Die!).
Greyhawk: Currently 598 CY/Lady's Edict 8 (last year of the Living Greyhawk Campaign).
Forgotten Realms: 1479 DR/Lady's Edict 109
I'm not sure what year it is in generic 4th edition supplements like Dungeon Master's Guide II. Kylie the Tout is still young, though, so it hasn't been very long since the Faction War. Different 4e things seem to take place in different eras, though, so set it whenever you want.
Oh, and before I forget... is Haskar 130 the same as Lady's Edict 1?
