Sunshare 30: Balthazor The Requiem Swamp continues to grow, at a quarter of a mile a year. Balthazorian farmers worry that the rice paddies that provide their primary export will be ruined. Rumours grow that the Stonetimber Forest is the source of a number of free-willed undead. The only known fact however is that these dangerous undead are increasing in number.
Warmgrow 7: Luminii The plague that began in 1259 that had devastated so many families has finally run its course - without much doing by the Vivomancers. Much to the upset of the people, the Twelfth Death seemed untouchable by the healers of Nostrella, and Nostrum has lost some of the peoples' support.
Meridian 15: Luminii Midnight raids by goblins have increased - and extend further into the region than usual.
Meridian 23: Luminii The famines following failed wheat crops have ended, with much praise given to the Allied League of Farmers, and the family that leads it, the San Giamonicos.

Soothcool 22: Oceanuus Archmage Elorac Seamere retires from her position, leaving the guidance of Oceanuus to the Council of Six while she leaves for Northern Oceanuus as an Ambassador.
Soothcool 30: Balthazor Fores Mishal is ousted from his surreptitious control of Malcoven by a small raiding force composed of the swordswoman Ashoken d'Allessair, Edail Archiras and the stranger simply named Sinjin. Fores Mishal is killed in the battle to regain the Bone Throne and Irmaa Vep reclaims her seat of power in Malcoven. Edail Archiras is unfortunately lost in the explosive destruction of Mishal. The ultimate fate of Edail remains uncertain. As a reward for her instrumental role in the destruction of Fores Mishal, Ashoken is appointed the Captaincy of the Malcoven Guard.
Soothcool 30: Thermador Ulen Relor is decimated during its annual Festival of Lights celebration by a surprise attack from Icaruss and his insectoid army, also known as the Hive (9-27-02).

1261
Bitewind 24: Luminii Tumian Dreven leads a small army into Luminii to reclaim Vinoricco from the Hive. They are successful, but at a high cost in lives.
Soothcool 1: Oceanuus Elorac reappears on Xieng Khouang. Backed by an army of rebels and support from Northern Oceanuus, she retakes the throne from Kraang.
Soothcool 4: Shadokhan A rare double eclipse, occurs blanketing the Silver Moon Empire in darkness. The portals across the Empire begin acting strangely as they become unreliable and begin sending people to the wrong locations.(09/01/03).
Moonshare 27: Balthazor Malcoven is baffled as six straight days of petitioning to the Archmagess are met with silence. Additionally, the newly appointed Captain of the Malcoven guard, Ashoken, goes missing. Rumors are that the two were abducted by Icaruss, or that they left for a secret mission to Khorezim.
Moonshare 28: Arboria Cytorak "Brownleaves", the High Druid, vanishes from Evergreen without a trace.
Moonshare 29: Shadokhan The Crosswinds Tavern vanishes amidst rumors and speculation ranging from Icaruss destroying it to the Hive sucking it underground.
Moonshare 29: Thermador Among many other mysterious disappearances, Shaftile Pyreslake was last seen on this day. Her disappearance left Thermador in turmoil.
Moonshare 30: Arboria The Druids convene to locate Cytorak Brownleaves, and find only his blood in Shadokhan, where the Crosswinds Tavern vanished amidst strange magics. He is presumed dead.
Moonshare 30: Thermador Mount Rashkana and several neighboring mountains experience the worst eruption in recorded history. Silverton and its pyromancer protector, Slivos Von Demios, are obliterated along with many smaller towns. Mines are sealed off and the lavafish are destroyed. The eruption lasts five days with sporadic after shocks and eruptions for several years after.
Goldfall 3: Balthazor The High Necropolis in Balthazor is raided by the Belladonna Sodality. Every present necromancer is slain with the heads mounted on the gates before the High Necropolis. The undead begin to wander aimlessly within the city, the streets are vacated and minor looting can be found within the richer districts.
Goldfall 16: Luminii A massive tidal wave slams into the southern shore of Luminii destroying the towns and killing people up to twenty miles inland. The destruction leads to another famine. A strange disease surges up, similar to the Green Flu and Twelfth Plague in that the Vivomancers are unable to affect it.
1262
Bitewind 4: Thermador Versaisna Lucair, the Ash-Maker, arrives in Wadi Medani and claims both the title of Archmage and the throne vacated by the disappearance of his twin sister. Massive reforms follow.
Gentrain 5: Balthazor Balthazor is overwhelmed with undead with no Necromancers left to control them. The Sodality finally reveals their intentions and their rule of Malcoven, setting up street militia that serves as protection for the living. A semi-state of martial law is put in place by the Sodality. Many people flee from the city. The undead mass begins gaining in size and strength.
Fadefrost 16: Arboria The ceremony of Bonding takes place in Evergreen. A new High Druid is selected, an elf by the name of Elcine Rivervale.
1263
Gentrain 14: Balthazor The undead within Balthazor continue to grow and expand across the nation. At the current rate Balthazor will be overwhelmed by undead within seven years. The Sodality continues to purge the necromancers they can find within the region, leaving their heads as reminders to those who remain.
Soothcool: Balthazor (Saxum in Sturrbith Barony) The spread of undead and the audacity of the Sodality sets off an unnamed necromancer's revenge. Plague and devastation ravage the living and the dead inhabitants alike. Few survive in Saxum and the mage plague changes the survivors.
Goldfall 20: Oceanuus Elorac Seamere orders her fleet to return to home port, to the confusion of her people. An evacuation order is sent out.
Goldfall 28: Oceanuus Despite Elorac's greatest efforts, only a quarter of Xieng Khouang's population is saved before a massive tidal wave strikes. Other islands suffer similar losses. Many believe that Elorac is dead. The Shallowreef Isles are the only islands unaffected, a blessing of their geography.
Chillset: Oceanuus 'Dead Gangs' are assembled to help bury bodies. Bodies out taken out to sea and weighted, but the bloated and gangrened corpses keep floating back to shore. The stench extends nearly 50 miles.
1264
Bitewind: Oceanuus Damaged ships return to Oceanuus. Docking is scarce. Vicious, bloody battles ensue as sailors, merchants and pirates alike compete for the limited resources available; seized or abandoned ships are cannibalized for parts. Survivors are pressed into crews. More and more often, the crimson banner of the pirates flies.
Blossombud: Oceanuus The remains of the Crystal Fleet clash with Pirates over the remains of the island nation. Half a dozen of the buccaneers began making names for themselves, notably one Aikiliano Bashar, who molds the Pirates into a formidable body.
Gentrain: Thermador The Ash-Maker has the Lasair Bán Dome demolished. Building of its replacment, Cnoc Liath, known also as Graystone, begins.
Gentrain: Oceanuus Mount Mana'o erupts in a dazzling show of light, lava and ash. It continues to erupt irregularly, producing an episodic lightshow that is both beautiful and frightening in its intensity
Sunshare: Cloosidian In light of the recent tragedies, Cloosidian postpones its battle for the Crown of the Four Winds. Sending what aid is available, the current King claims, will draw too many warriors from the battle. Some speculate that this is just a bid for the King to keep his lordship longer. Aggressions arise among the clans.
1265
Fadefrost: Oceanuus The Pirate Nation's crimson flag of stars and sword is first seen flying from Xieng Khouang. United, the Pirates focus their attacks on southwest Shadokhan. Towns and villages are burned and looted, some several times over. Temporary Raid Camps are established in Shadokhan and some parts of southern Arboria to be nearer the looting grounds. With the destruction of the renowned Crystal Fleet, there is little to be done to stop them.
Warmgrow: Oceanuus With the financial support of Emperor Tumian, remnants of the Crystal Fleet begin to band together to challenge the Pirate Nations.
Meridian: Thermador Firenium and Igneostar are both discovered by explorers braving Rashkana.
Goldfall 30: Balthazor The first mass of undead cross out of the borders of Balthazor, swarming over a small village named Ravendale on the Arborian border. No survivors remain.
1266
Sunshare: Oceanuus The Splash and The Front begin to grow on the southernmost tip of Xieng Khouang, replacing the previous marketplace and warehouse districts. Simultaneously, the Order of the Baronies is established, dividing government of the southern islands amongst a handful of the Pirate Elite.
Goldfall: Balthazor (Saxum in Sturrbith Barony) Kamal meets the wild wolf-like Mennths. They take to calling him the Lotus because he heals their wounds and makes them forget the losses they've suffered. Their gratitude for remaking them and their devotion to protecting him are absolute. The Lotus's Pack of wolves survives the years of undead infestation by wit, strength and the skin of their teeth while seeking Archmagess Irmaa Vep.
1267
Blossombud: Arboria The High Druid Elcine Rivervale spends Tivili on the Lealóre Plateau at the druidic settlement of Anlanna. Difficulties with the encroaching human settlement to the east are smoothed over with the Joining.
Chillset: Thermador Town of Rovincael renamed City of Fartrade; aggressive campaign begins, lead by Kivin Steel-Eye and Vinda Rovincael, to turn Fartrade into Thermador's premier port.
1268
Bitewind: Cloosidian Instability strikes Cloosidian as a series of small earthquakes occurs. Building slowly in magnitude, rumors of an upcoming, larger quake start to circulate.
Gentrain: Oceanuus Tumian Dreven buys off Pirates with three and a half tons of silver, and the pirates learn that extorting protection money is easier and more regular than looting. Arboria closing its borders may have prevented trade by caravan, however, raids by sea escalate.
Fadefrost: Cloosidian A large earthquake leaves many human cities a wreck and ruins several Seleventi mountain-homes. Rebuilding begins. Once again, the Great Battle is postponed. Aggressions soar within the Seleventi ranks.
Goldfall: Thermador Rumors began to filter out from the east of the destruction of the Hive colony at Ulen Relor.
Chillset: Arboria Renlor Oldenoak continues to head up the patrols on the Arborian border, now enlisting over a hundred elves to keep the undead at bay, including the revered Elven Blades. Many messages have been sent to the Emperor to deal with the undead problem, with no formal response.
Chillset 1: Balthazor Undead incursions into all of the surrounding regions have become a weekly event. Border patrols from the surrounding regions are haphazardly set up to prevent the undead from continuing their incursions.
1269
Bitewind 25: Luminii Archmagess Annabella Morningstar and the Emperor meet. Annabella agrees to lend her aid to the Emperor in dealing with the rampaging undead in Balthazor. This causes further unrest among the citizens of Luminii.
Fadefrost 12: Balthazor Tumian Dreven, Emperor of the Silver Moon Empire, journeys into Balthazor to put down the undead.
Blossombud : Balthazor It is more or less offical, the Black Branch Knights no longer exist.
Blossombud 18: Balthazor Emperor Tumian Dreven and the Silver Moon Knight army reach central Balthazor and are met by the Klockwork Master and his Klockwork Army. Tumian Dreven I is killed by The Klockwork Master and the Knights are routed. Thousands are killed. The Klockwork Master declares himself Emperor in Tumian's stead while still in Balthazor.
Blossombud: Luminii News of Tumian's overthrow, coupled with the news of the "new" Emperor's rise, causes worries and caution within Nostrum. It is rumored that this man, known only as the Klockwork Master, is a Geomantic Mage and uses his powers to command his armies.
Blossombud: Arboria The Elven Nation secedes from the Klockwork Master's Empire. They leave peacefully, and assume a neutral role towards the Klockwork Regime.
Blossombud: Cloosidian Against Klackatonakin's council, Cloosidian secedes from the Klockwork Master's Empire. The human cities that are in existence are held free from Empire laws and become the Free Cities, with neither help nor hindrance from the Seleventi King. Klackatonakin becomes the unofficial authority for the humans.
Gentrain: Balthazor The Klockwork Master and his army leave Balthazor, having successfully put down a large contingent of undead. The undead issue remains unresolved.
Sunshare 19: Shadokhan The Klockwork Master and his army enter Shadokhan and Dreven City. The citizenry is given the choice of pledging allegiance to the Klockwork Master or banishment from the surrounding lands. Military members such as the Silver Moon Knights are offered allegiance or death. To the surprise of the people, their lives are largely unchanged by the Dreven Empire's usurpation.
Sunshare: Oceanuus With the death of the Emperor, the Crystal Fleet loses their backing. Many ships' captains become land-bound loyalists. Self-proclaimed warlords establish themselves on both the main coast and a few of the outlying islands, protecting an area and battling the pirates. Coinciding with this is a resurgence in Pirate raids on the coasts of Shadokhan and Luminii.
Sunshare: Shadokhan Despite the lack of major changes to what remains of the Silver Moon Empire, some rebels form camps. Silver Moon Knights and other citizens loyal to the Drevens gather at Forts Wantlokin and Klimteg to rumors that the Empire falls to Tumian Dreven's sister, Aslin. Word is sent overseas to the Princess and her Khorezim husband. Oddly, nothing is heard in return from the Khorezim Empire, and the messengers go missing. The dowager Empress, Marinia Dreven, has not been seen since the Klockwork Master invaded Dreven and is believed to be dead.
Warmgrow: Luminii The Klockwork Army immediately begins constructing new villages in Luminii to begin reclaiming the lands lost to the tidal wave nine years prior. New fields are plowed and crop replanting begins at a blistering pace. The Klockwork Master claims an end to famine and disease within five cycles.
Meridian: Arboria Arboria's borders are closed to all travelers. Trade screeches to a halt. The dwarves secede from the Elven Nation and proclaim themselves the Dwarven Nation. Dwarven movements are not halted, and an increase in dwarven traveling takes place as they take their goods outside of Arboria to trade.
Fadewarm: Shadokhan The thieves guilds in the Empire are all but broken. Triad operations have been severely suppressed under the rule of the Klockwork Master, however they continue to operate.
Soothcool: Thermador The Ash-Maker forges an alliance between Thermador and the Klockwork Master. Rebuilding of Silverton, which has been slow-going over the past years, increases marginally in pace. The Silver Moon Knights at the Rock of Duval almost unanimously refuse to lay down their arms. Three attempts to take the rock during late 1269 and early 1270, two by the Ash-Maker followed by a contingent of the Klockwork Army, meet in apparent disaster. Survivors claim interference from the firedrake, Mortis Sanguine. No further attempts are made for the time being.
Goldfall: Luminii True to the Klockwork Master's promise, the famine is eased with the harvesting of crops produced by his armies. While not all hunger is eradicated, enough foodstuffs are available to prevent further death from starvation. There is still disgruntlement due to the severe rationing enforced by the Klockwork Army.
Chillset: Cloosidian It is announced at last that preparations are being made for the long-awaited Battle for the Crown of the Four Winds.
1270
It was a good year. A very good year. So good, in fact, that nothing newsworthy happened at all!
1271
Fadefrost: Balthazor The undead again are rampaging through Balthazor, and begin to spill into the other regions.
Gentrain: Balthazor The undead incursions outside Balthazor grow suddenly worse, as if the undead are trying to flee something within Balthazor. Before the cycle is over, undead outside Balthazor all but stops. Klockwork Captain Tharius is given credit.
Soothcool: Balthazor Capt. Tharius is able to move his campaign against the undead away from the Sturrbith Mountains and into the east. He and his army have been in Balthazor for better than two years with no relief.
Moonshare: Balthazor Rumors begin to emerge from SE Balthazor, specifically the Padrical Barony, of a return of the Black Branch (w/o the title of "Knight"). That rumors flow from Balthazor at all is a sign of major change in the region.
Moonshare 29: Shadokhan A shudder runs through the ley lines, and across the entire continent portals begin to function once again. People that had been thought dead for ten years suddenly reappear to a world different from the one they knew. The Crosswinds Tavern, too, once again materializes. (10/26/03).
Goldfall: Shadokhan After emerging from the Crosswinds Tavern claiming to be the Magistrate of Dreven (after a ten year absence), Arman Ban Triam goes into hiding with a sizeable bounty on his head.
Goldfall: Oceanuus Travel to and from Southern Oceanuus through the suddenly functional portal is restricted. A stiff tariff is placed on exports to the mainland. (11/15/03).
Goldfall: Balthazor Ilda Mennth leaves the Lotus's wolves to work for Xerena Stonecutter.
Chillset: Balthazor Reports and some trade are coming from SE Balthazor. Tharius's starts to gain infamy. No one questions how there are no longer undead running free along the Sturrbith Mountains or in Southern Balthazor.
1272

Bitewind: Oceanuus Word spreads that Xieng Khouang's School of Hydromancy has been rebuilt - and been functioning for the past three years. It is run by hydromancers loyal to the Pirate Nation.

Gentrain 18: Luminii The Army sends a force to Nostrum to enforce the Klockwork Master's edict.

Meridian: Shadokhan Attacks on Klockwork Army patrols and outposts continue, though more sporadic and fierce than the initial flurry of raids post-Tivili. Execution of captured insurgents is often rapid and merciless, providing a spectacle of entertainment for the masses. Even with their guerilla tactics, much of the resistance has been forced as far underground as Triad. In fact, Triad seems to be deeply involved in the resistance itself. Strange times calls for strange allies. (07/10/04).
