But Chris already had bigger plans for the Grand History in mind, and when a slot in our product schedule opened up, he successfully lobbied our business managers to assign it to The Grand History. Bart and Chris worked out an arrangement with Brian to make use of his Grand History for our FORGOTTEN REALMS web page, and I went back to my normal routine.
I got in touch with the mysterious Iakhovas to let him know we were interested in his work, which is how I made the acquaintance (electronically, at least) of Brian James. “What do we think about contacting this guy, paying him for his work, and posting this as a web feature?” As it turned out, they liked the idea a lot.
“This is a great piece of work,” I told them. So I forwarded the link to Chris Perkins (Design Manager for D&D), Phil Athans (Managing Editor for our book team), and Bart Carroll (the producer in charge of our D&D website content). After all, we’d assembled a dozen different timelines in these various sourcebooks, but we’d never pulled them together into a single unified history. I felt that Iakhovas’s Grand History was the sort of online resource we should have put together ourselves. Needless to say, I was immediately impressed. This, of course, was Brian James’s Grand History of the Realms, in a form very much like the one you now hold in your hands.

I soon discovered a 100-page PDF composed mostly of the compiled timelines from every D&D FORGOTTEN REALMS publication. Several posters were raving about a great Realms history tool assembled by someone under the mysterious screen name of “Iakhovas.” One of the messages included a link, and I was intrigued enough to follow it. Ne afternoon early in 2006, I was poking around the FORGOTTEN REALMS message boards on the Wizards of the Coast website when I ran across an interesting thread.
