Updated the lapse between the murder of Galverson and the year 22 AR.

On stand by untill I add the rest of what you placed here mates.

(About Giogi, some post before stated he was Councilor or something in the 20ths, a mistake that made me think he was centenary) :lol:

To be fair, Keira Heavenstrike's player lives in Australia, so, the lack in her perceived effectiveness was not for her lack of trying. She just had different play hours than most of the mainline players.

(that last update smoothed out the duchy and early pax timelines and really polished it, nice work)

This applies to all of you, collaborators without the who the Timeline couldn't never be done.

This is taking a shape I am really loving...

The one thing that MUST be kept as a really treasure in a RP server is precisely it's history. And Arelith has an impresive one.

Yeah, that is likely part of it, Crag. On Keira that is. But that is how it played out IG and that's what counts unfortunately. I remember it being quite the ousting.

If the Scurvy Cur I see on the forums is the same player I think it is, I'll see if he will contribute to the timelines as well. He would have a positive wealth of information on the earlier years of Arelith.

And yes TMoM, the history unfortunately also is written by the 'conquerors' here as much as anywhere else. Some OOC politics have wiped some mentioned of characters completely out of it I have noticed, no matter what amazing or crazy things they have done. Hopefully we can get enough people pitching in that the decisions of a few people won't keep things shrouded for newer players.

As much as some people see timelines as a way to get RP credit, the fact remains that it is far more about the influences that remains, unseen by many newer players, but there regardless that make a semi-accurate history important as a resource. There will always be some bias because we will remember things differently, but a Lot of players and characters have contributed to Why Arelith is the way it is today. Down to changes in the zones to just habitual RP quirks that have been adopted by players.

I am quite glad you have decided to taking on the position TMoM of compiling, because I know I wouldn't have the patience myself!

1)After a bit of debate I've managed to find that before the Korab's the Bramble had the outpost it was under an elf named Sparrow (I don't have the entire name). This was during the time the infernalists undr Samir Lyons ran Cordor and Evelyn was Archdruidess of the Heartwood. If anyone has any spot on dates, please help. This is as much as I could narrow it down.

2)The House of Triad was established by Joshua Colt, Chosen of Tyr, and voted through by the Hawklight Council. Aside from that during his stay as magistrate and Councilor during that period he removed the focus from the Eldafire system of laws and returned it to the Patrician's Laws (The Pax Cordoria Text) which has gained momentum in the guard and following Councils.

Can confirm this. Can't supply spot on dates though! I remember Sparrow advertising the outpost when I first joined the server, which was 67-68.

Why should the great bell of Beaulieu toll when the shadows were neither short nor long?

If anyone is around that could possibly unlock this pre-Korab Bramble troupe ICly for documenting IC history purposes, Kregor would love to play audience to a cameo appearance. :)

Kregor has heard the name Sparrow tossed around. In vain. Something about him selling out the Bramble to Cordor. I've touched on it briefly in journal, but I have very little detail as only one member of the Korab Clan is presently in Kregor's realm of existence, and she's the one who uses Sparrow's name in vain.

Does anyone remember who the original councilers were? I want to say they were Synthesia, Tifa, and Katie Calhoun, but i'm not 100% sure if Tifa was one right away.

If he did nothing, then nothing should be the memory of him.
