#having Minthara from Menzo in the story was already weird because Menzo is far far FAR away from BG

Minthara can’t be Yvonnel’s daughter because each of Yvonnel’s 15 daughters were high priestesses and Minthara wasn’t a high priestess.
Also in 1484DR, Quenthel and Sos’Umptu are her last alive daughters so it eliminates everyone. But Quenthel’s first daughter is only around 70 when the events of the game occurred and Sos’Umptu feels like the less realistic choice (because the description of her mom doesn’t fit with Sos’Umptu less ambitious personality).
And Minthara can’t be one of Yvonnel’s son´s daughter because the drow society is a matriarchal society so the man get their wife’s last name so Minthara wouldn’t have been a Baenre if it had been the case.
Also. The Baenre had a Mindflayer advisor. Why would the Absolute want to put his hands on Menzoberranzan if they already had an Illithid advising in the city?? (I mean yes by 1484 bro is crazy but still)
My theory is that Larian forgot about the timeline (again) and that they didn’t really think about that. You know, like the fact that 10 years before the game you have Returning Day happening where you had a Slayer wreaking havoc in the streets of BG. But theoretically, that doesn’t make sense if the Durge or even Orin for that matter, were alive at that time period. Because Durge is supposed to be the favorite for probably more than 10y therefore they’re the one granted the Slayer form but there can’t be two Bhaalspawn with the form, that’s why Orin only has it if you refuse it and she doesn’t if you get it!
Also like isn’t Sarevok supposed to be dead?
And don’t tell me but they maybe don’t see the book as canon or smtg because they mention Drizzt multiple times, Jarlaxle is mentioned twice !!
