I'm trying to get some background information for a new character idea. What i am looking for is information on large battles that took place about 7-14 yrs ago ingame. If anyone has any idea of there to look for this kind of information, ie journals ect. it would help greatly. I have a character i am working on, but i want the background to be accurate to layo history, and a large battle (mainly one with MANY good-guy casualties and possibly demonic summoning) is central to the make-up of the character. I have tried looking in the lore histories with no luck, and the continent is irrelevant at this point, any info is better than what i have now.

Have you tried asking a prominent bard in game?
-
Have you consulted the timeline (http://nwn.layonara.com/The%20Layonara%20Timeline) ?
Current year is 1403, by the way.

Find a bard who can tell you about the Drow's invasion of Hlint. That was fun.
-
The taking of Stone, the retaking of Stone, the battle for Roldem, the occupation of Spellgard. Plenty of options!

Not really a major battle, but I remember there was an attack on Fort Velensk awhile back. There were demons and undead attacking the shores. I remember there were lots of NPC guards killed, as well as several PC casualties. I don't think there's much written up about the battle anywhere, though.
Like I said, it wasn't really a -major- battle, but still one that looks like it fits what you are looking for.
Oh, and Stone may work too :)

Don't forget the attack on Hope by a bunch of Ogres and Ogrillions.
