My break is over, now here is part 3 of my list of licensed Forgotten Realms based novels, comics, tabletop games and video games with a confirmed timeline (and those without a confirmed timeline that I can only make carefully thought out guesses). I will start from 1401 DR and end in 1491 DR, and this list will be pretty short because the 4th edition setting seemed not only unpopular to gamers like us, but also the authors like Ed Greenwood and R.A. Salvatore, I mean, jumping 100 years into the future, especially after the Spellplague without their consent... That means half or most of the characters they created that don't have a long lifespan like elves or dwarves are either old or dead. So, without further ado, let's get started.
Here is the link back to part 2 if you've never seen it and are interested.

"The Last Legend of Gedrin Shadowbane" (By Erik Scott de Bie) (1463 DR)
"Neverwinter" of The Neverwinter Saga (by R.A. Salvatore) (1463 DR) This novel is intentionally tied in to the Neverwinter MMORPG game because in one part of the book, the moon elf lich Valindra Shadowmantle led an attack on Neverwinter for the purpose of powering up the Dread Ring in the Neverwinter forest, a location that can be visited in Module 2 of the Neverwinter MMORPG

"Swordmage" of the Blades of the Moonsea Trilogy (By Richard Baker) (begins in 1477 DR)
"The Devil You Know" of the Brimstone Angels series (By Erin M. Evans) (1477 DR) Though no realm year has been officially confirmed, it shouldn't be hard to narrow down once you realize that this story takes place before Farideh made the warlock pact in the "Brimstone Angels" story, which comes up next afterwards.

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (main module ends in 1481 DR, Module 1: "Fury of the Feywild" begins in 1481 DR)
"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 1: "Fury of the Feywild" ends in 1482 DR, Module 2: "Shadowmantle" begins and ends in 1482 DR) In the climactic end mission of Module 2, you get to fight Valindra and put an end to her threat once and for all, and believe me, she doesn't go down easily, you'll need a full group to face her. Then again, no lich goes down easy
"Murder in Baldur's Gate" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #1) (Tabletop game created by Ed Greenwood, Matt Sernett and Steve Winter) (1482 DR) This tabletop game ties in directly with the Baldur's Gate games and novels, with Abdel Adrian, the much hated protagonist of the Baldur's Gate novels as one of the NPCs, and even Coran is in the game, and the game's story ends with the inevitable resurrection of Bhaal. The fact that Abdel lived more than 100 years before he got killed off signifies that Imoen and the game protagonist could live that long too if he/she is human, half-orc or some other race with a short lifespan compared to elves, half-elves, halflings, gnomes and dwarves, and chose to remain mortal at the end of the ToB game. Being a Bhaalspawn guarantees longevity
------
"The Last Threshold" and "The Companions" end in 1484 DR
"Dungeons & Dragons: Cutter" comic book series issue
#1 "Birthright", issue
#2 "The Lost Child", issue
#3 "Sword, Wielder", issue
#4 "A Dark Path", issue
#5 "Homecoming" (comic books written by R.A. Salvatore and his son Geno Salvatore, art by David Baldeon, colors by David Garcia Cruz, letters by Neil Uyetake, cover art by Steve Ellis) (1484 DR, before "Night of the Hunter")
"Night of the Hunter" of the Companions Codex series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1484 DR)
"Rise of the King" of the Companions Codex series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1484 DR)
------
"Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf" of the Companions Codex series (By R.A. Salvatore) (begins in 1484 DR and ends in 1485 DR)
"Legacy of the Crystal Shard" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #2) (Tabletop game created by R.A. Salvatore, James Wyatt and Jeffrey Ludwig) (1485 DR)
"Archmage" of the Homecoming series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1485 DR)
"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 3: "Curse of Icewind Dale" begins and ends sometime after month of Eleint in 1485 DR) This may come as a shock to those who have read "The Crystal Shard", but in Module 3, the main villain is none other than the villainous mage Akar Kessel, who comes back from the dead as a powerful wight.
"Scourge of the Sword Coast" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #3) (Tabletop game created by Tito Leati, Matthew Sernett and Chris Sims) (1485 DR) Just a wild guess on the realm year.
Tyranny of Dragons Adventurers League game story modules "Corruption in Kryptgarden", "Defiance in Phlan", "Secrets of Sokol Keep", "Shadows over the Moonsea", "Dues for the Dead", "The Courting of Fire", 'The Scroll Thief", "Drums in the Marsh", "Tall Trees Tell," "Outlaws of the Iron Route", "Tyranny in Phlan", "Dark Pyramid of Sorcerer's Isle", "Raider of the Twilight Marsh", "Pool of Radiance Resurgent", and "Escape from Phlan" (1485 DR)
Neverwinter (MMORPG game) (Module 4: "Tyranny of Dragons") (begins and ends in 1485 DR)
"Legends of Baldur's Gate" comic book series issues 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Written by Jim Zub, art by Max Dunbar, colors by John-Paul Bove (and Joana Laufente in issue #2), letters by Neil Uyetake, edits by John Barber) (1485 DR) These comic books bring Minsc from the Baldur's Gate games from the 2nd-3rd edition time frame into the 5th edition time frame of the Forgotten Realms in a very interesting way, and Coran appears in this series too. If you haven't read these comic books before, you'll enjoy them, I know I did
"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 5: "Rise of Tiamat") (begins and ends in 1485 DR) Linu La'neral, one of the companion characters from Neverwinter Nights is in this module's story and is one of the NPCs that helps player characters fight against Tiamat in the end of the module's story
"Dead in Thay" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #4) (Tabletop game created by Scott Fitzgerald Gray) (1485 DR)
"Sword Coast Legends" (A game developed by N-Space and Digital Extremes, playable on Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) (possibly 1485 DR) This game was designed to be the spiritual successor of the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights game series in terms of gameplay. The devs of SCL's forums said that this game is set somewhere between 1490 DR and 1492 DR, answering someone's question about the game's time frame in the Forgotten Realms, but after I realized that the Rage of Demons DLC likely takes place somewhere between "Maestro" and "Hero", I'm beginning to believe that Sword Coast Legends's developers gave a random answer, they never had a time frame firmly in mind when they made this game, the in-game journal does not keep track of the game's time and day, month and year like Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights did.

Elemental Evil Adventurers League game storyline modules "City of Danger", "Embers of Elmwood", "The Drowned Tower", "Mayhem in the Earthspur Mines", "Flames of Kythorn", "Breath of the Yellow Rose", "Bounty in the Bog", "Foulness Beneath Mulmaster", "Eye of the Tempest", "Cloaks and Shadows", "Oubliette of Fort Iron", "Dark Rites at Fort Dalton", "The Howling Void", "The Sword of Selflaril", "Black Heart of Vengeance", "Boltsmelter's Book", and "Mulmaster Undone" (1486 DR)
"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 6: "Elemental Evil") (1486 DR) Minsc makes his first in-game appearance in this expansion of the game
"Archmage" ends in 1486 DR
"Out of the Abyss", Tabletop game adventure (Published by Wizards of the Coast) (1486 DR)
Rage of Demons Adventurers League game storyline modules "Harried in Hillsfar", "Shackles of Blood", "The Occupation of Szith Morcaine", "It's All in the Blood", "Bane of the Tradeways", "No Foolish Matter", "Herald of the Moon", "The Malady of Elventree", "The Waydown", "Quelling the Horde", "The Quest for Sporedome", "Hillsfar Reclaimed", "Writhing in the Dark", "Death on the Wall", "Szith Morcaine Unbound", "Assault on Maerimydra" (I enjoyed playing this part, and fighting Grazzt in the end was challenging for me and my party), and "Blood Above, Blood Below" (1486 DR)
"Maestro" of the Homecoming series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1486 DR)
"Sword Coast Legends: Rage of Demons DLC" (1486 DR) Drizzt is in this DLC's story, making Sword Coast Legends the fifth D&D game allowing the player's character to adventure and/or fight alongside him. The first one was Baldur's Gate, the second was Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, the third was Demon Stone, and the fourth is the 8th and 9th module expansions of the Neverwinter MMORPG. It is unlikely this DLC is set in 1490 DR, years after "Maestro" and "Hero", because in this DLC, it is obvious that Drizzt is still affected by the faerzress since "Maestro", he is not the compassionate drow we knew anymore, he enjoys hunting worthy prey and will almost not hesitate to attack anyone in his way unless they prove to be a worthy ally against his prey, and he has no intention of returning to Catti-Brie even if you urge him to, because he is aware that he is not entirely sane, and he does not want want to be near anyone he cares about until Demogorgon is defeated, which he believes will clear his mind.
"Hero" of the Homecoming series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1486 DR)
"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 8: "Underdark", story written by R.A. Salvatore) (1489 DR) Through this module's story, your character gets to fight alongside Drizzt and his reincarnated companions against Demogorgon's demonic forces I think the story takes place during or after "Hero", I need to read the book first to know for sure.
"Fire in the Blood" of the Brimstone Angels series (By Erin M. Evans) (1486 DR)
"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 9: "The Maze Engine") (1489 DR) Drizzt and Minsc both appear in this expansion together

"The Sentinel" of The Sundering saga (By Troy Denning) (1486 DR)
"Ashes of the Tyrant" of the Brimstone Angels series (By Erin M. Evans) (1486 DR)
------
"The Herald" of The Sundering saga (By Ed Greenwood) (1487 DR)
------
"Spellstorm" (By Ed Greenwood) (1488 DR)
------
"Death Masks" of the Chosen Heirs series (By Ed Greenwood) (1491 DR)
Neverwinter (MMORPG game) (Module 10: "Storm King's Thunder") (1491 DR) Reincarnated Wulfgar and Cattie-Brie are in this expansion of the game and one of your in-game allies.

That's about as far as I can get for now. In the meantime I will try to dig up some interesting information about all the novels, comic books and games I listed whether I have read or played them or not, something that'll pique your interest. And the reason why I skipped over adding Module 7 of the Neverwinter MMORPG, "Strongholds" is because there is no real storyline behind that expansion, just competitive gameplay based around strongholds. In the years to come, as more books get published and more games get released, I will modify this list from time to time as new information gets revealed. Remember, not everything is final in this list.
