Gameworld Timeline

#1 Post by Marullus »

This thread will be updated with the major events of the game across locales. Only events known to the populace of Gaul will be captured here, and it can be considered common knowledge for PCs.

01 May 2021 - the first wagon caravan arrives after a long, hard winter. Adventuring in the Northlands begins.

01 June 2021 - The Greenleaf Festival is celebrated in Gaul. Mormont retains his title of Champion in the melee tournament after strong showings by Blackjack Amistad and Bandy Sandybanks in the previous round, Clay Weatherwax wins for Storytelling, and Captain Bremen for the Archery Tournament.

09 June 2021 - the party of Baxtaw, Halfpint, and Foxy return with news of the dragon's demands and need to communicate them to the ArchDuke and/or other officials of the town.

15 June 2021 - the dragon demands a scarlet flag be flown from the wooden tower to show the town's assent, or else the dragon will "display its power."

June 2 to July 11, 2021 - The The Suns Crest Festival lasts each evening during the "endless day" - Gaul is far enough north that the sun didn't fully set for the 39 days of this festival, which is cause for celebration in other otherwise cold, rainy, and dark landscape.

19-20 June 2021 - The Trial of Bremen: accused in the ecclesiastical court of Baudh of selling his soul to a demon, Bremen stands trial before the town. The event ends in a mistrial as the Archbishop is compromised by a magical artifact presented by the Markd One, who is the companion and accuser of Bremen.

01 July 2021 - the first new moon upon which a maiden was expected to be sacrificed. A giant-sized Foxy O'Hare on a giant-sized steed faces Scatha in single combat on the fields north of Gaul, moderately wounding the dragon. Blackjack Amistad used a magical portion to ensorcel and compel all the dwarves visiting Gaul's tavern to run northward to face the dragon unarmored and carrying their dinner cutlery. The battle ends with the dragon incinerating the dwarves and flying off to its lair in the southwest.

02 July 2021 - Representatives of Idmi d'dum express experience a cooling of relations with Gaul after the death of their kinsmen by human magic... and dragon breath.

21 July 2021 - 80 mounted Knights of Baudhil make a formal showing at Gaul, establishing their show of force and establishing relations between the White Tower to the east (under leadership of Lord Commander Bremen) and Gaul - there now being two formal human settlements in the Northlands. Wagons under armed protection transit the roadway to the White Tower from Gaul, leaving each morning.

23 July - 10 August 2021 - Packs of supposedly infernal creatures - flock of floating eyeballs, vicious humanoids with their skulls cleaved off and insides removed, winged demonlings - spotted in the farmlands and ransacking the herds pasturing to the east of Gaul. The Church of Baudh takes credit for the divine barrier which protects all those within Gaul's walls. The Templars of Eruanna suffers some hostility as they take blame for the occurrence.

If others could help me fill this in... go find your notable events, town festivals, etc, which should be annotated here and post them. I'll combine them all up into a timeline post and then delete.

*bump*
Again, appreciate any player's help in constructing appropriate updates (with link to the right thread) on when important events happened which affected Gaul or the wider gameworld. I'll move them up into the Game Clock post from here.

If you help compile this, it is a great reference for new players and a reminder of what's gone before.

28 July 2021 - Baxtaw and company return to Gaul with stories of the slaying of Scatha, as well as sacks full of viscera and teeth, and new, red-dragon-hide armor to prove it. They conveniently omit details about a white dragon and giant made of stone stalking the area when they give report to the Archduke Gaul.
