4000 BC: The human Blackmoor civilization begins a 
meteoric rise due to its great success in developing powerful 
sciences and technologies. It conquers and assimilates all 
surrounding human tribes and quickly grows very powerful. 
	3500 BC: The Blackmoor civilization is flourishing. It 
conducts trade and intermittent war with the southern elves, at 
the other end of the world. Four clans of elves colonize in the 
region near Blackmoor. Both the southern and the colonial elves 
embrace Blackmoor's technology. Blackmoor priests demand the 
extermination of the "unnatural" beastmen in the Borean Valley, 
and promote holy wars to hunt down and destroy those creatures. 
        3000 BC: Some Blackmoor devices explode, shifting the 
axis of the Known World in an event later called the Great Rain 
of Fire or the Planetshift. Blackmoor becomes the north pole 
and its civilization disappears. 
        3000 - 2500 BC: Formerly arctic areas of the Known 
World, including most of the lands covered in the Gazetteer 
series, slowly become habitable as the ice recedes from former 
polar regions. 
        2200 BC: Some elves break off from Ilsundal's migration 
and eventually find their way to the frozen valleys of Glantri, 
where they settle. A few survivors from the second migration 
from Vulcania also reach Glantri and settle among their 
cousins.
        1700 BC: The elves of Glantri discover, in the Broken 
Lands, a strange artifact from the lost Blackmoor civilization. 
They tinker with it, and the artifact explodes cataclysmically, 
sending impenetrable clouds into the sky (which last for 
years), and spreading a strange rotting plague among the 
surviving elves - those who were far enough away to survive. 
The elves shelter themselves in the deepest caves of Glantri. 
        800 BC: The ice finally recedes to the north of Glantri.
        475 BC: Dwarves begin exploration and colonization of 
neighboring territories.
        200 BC: 
        By now, orcs control the land to the west of the 
Streel River, as far south as Akorros. They also control the 
Broken Lands, southern Glantri, and most of Ethengar. Humans 
control the areas south of Akorros; elves control Alfheim to 
the east.
        67 AC: Orcs living near Lake Amsorak wrest most of 
Darokin from its human inhabitants in this bloody summer. The 
humans and elves of Darokin join forces to drive the orcs out; 
they're successful. Thousands of orcs flee into Nagpuri, 
slaying and pillaging as they overrun the lands. Nagpuri's 
warriors must contend with orc troubles for the next decade.
        88 AC: Orcs make major gains against the leaderless 
Darokin humans, forcing the Elves of Alfheim to support Corwyn 
Attleson as a compromise choice to lead Darokin. The reign of 
Darokin Kings begins. 
        200 AC: Rockhome dwarves begin colonizing into outside 
lands; they are usually welcomed into human communities. 
        293 AC: Last of the orc tribes driven from Darokin. 
        395 AC: The Flaems, an offshoot of the Alphatians from

and boar lycanthropy. 
        400 AC: 
        The Flaems discover that other, enemy Alphatians are in 
possession of the mighty Alphatian empire to the east.

Kol. First caravans attempt to cross Broken Lands. 
        522 AC: Second Siege of Corunglain. Villages torched. 
        523 AC: In Darokin, Corunglain falls to the orc armies 
of Big Chief Sitting Drool. Thousands are killed and the entire 
city is looted. Enslaved population taken back to Broken Lands. 
        525 AC: Third Punitive Expedition from Glantri and 
Darokin. Sitting Drool brought back in chains. 
        526 AC: Sitting Drool traded for slaves and gold taken 
from Corunglain, causing great political uproar in Darokin. 
Truce with Darokin and Glantri.

break up again. Various humanoid hordes invade Red Orcland. 
        645 AC: Ethengar attempts a major invasion of what is 
now Glantri but is defeated at Skullhorn Pass. 
        662 AC: The Flaemish attempt to invade Ethengar, but 
the expeditionary force is utterly massacred in the steppes. 
        709 AC: In Laterre (an alternate world), Michel 
d'Ambreville, leader of the d'Ambreville family, dies in 
battle; his wife Camille assumes control of the family.
        723 AC: Santhral II dies, ending the reign of the 
Darokin Kings. The nation breaks down into independent dominions 
ruled by whoever can afford to pay troops to keep the roads 
passable.
        725 AC: In Laterre, King H£ber the Kind of Averoigne 
begins investigating the rumors of witchcraft in the 
d'Ambreville family.
        728 AC: 
        In Laterre, tienne d'Ambreville creates a magical 
gate, enabling the d'Ambrevilles and their dependents to leave 
the world of Laterre. Marcel killed in rearuard action; 
Marie-H‚lŠne badly injured but survives.
        The d'Ambrevilles and their vassals arrive in Mystara 
from Old Averoigne in another dimension, establishing a 
French-like culture in the wooded valleys of northwestern 
Glantri. They are made welcome by the Flaems of Braejr and 
found their own dominion, Nouvelle Averoigne.
        730 AC: Settlers come to Glantri, including fair elves 
(descendants of the elves who fled the area in 1700 BC) and 
humans from Traladara and Thyatian colonies in Ylaruam. 
Frictions begin between the Flaems and settlers. 
        733 AC: Camille, increasingly erratic, abandons her 
duties as leader of the House d'Ambreville. After a Fractious 
family council, Etienne becomes leader of the family.
        738 AC: The king of Braejr, following the advice of 
Etienne d'Ambreville, institutes an official policy of 
welcoming and integrating the settlers. His subordinates 
follow an unofficial policy of making life unpleasant for the 
settlers. Frictions build.
        747 AC: The Braejr Council of Lords outlaws clerical 
teaching and clerical magic, upon penalty of death.
        750 AC: 
        The Great Burning: Flaems burn threescore captured 
clerics - all of them of Thyatian or Traladaran descent.
        754 AC: A second Great Burning is interrupted by 
maddened mobs. Armed revolt erupts in many of the small 
Thyatian and Traladaran communities. The army of Braejr 
ruthlessly suppresses the rebellion. Most of the able-bodied 
men of Thyatian and Traladaran descent are killed.
        784 AC: A third-generation Thyatian settler kills a 
Flaemish lord. Flaemish forces attack his village. War erupts 
again between Thyatians and Flaemish.
        784 - 788 AC: The Followers of Flame (the Flaemish) war 
with other settlers in Glantri. With defeat come the executions 
of Flaemish lycanthropes who fought against the elven and 
Thyatian settlers.

of the Vesubia by the Flaemish. 
        786 AC: An Alphatian wizard named Halzunthram the Free 
Sword arrives in Flaemish lands and helps the humans and elves 
there against the Flaems, organizing the settlers into an 
efficient fighting force.
        788 AC: The settlers defeat the Flaemish at the Battle 
of Braastar. Halzunthram captures the council and declares this 
land to be a protectorate of Alphatia; war breaks out again. 
The elves become independent and the Flaemish revolt. Many 
Flaemish lycanthropes fight and die in the ensuing rebellion. 
Beginning of the "Forty Years Without Peace."
        800 AC: 
        Orcwars. Desperate Broken Lands hordes ravage 
neighboring nations for food, treasure, or shelter. Caravans 
systematically plundered. Cities torched. Agitation in Darokin. 
        802 AC: A gold rush in Glantri brings many Rockhome 
dwarves into that nation. A plague sent by the orcish Immortal 
Yagrai spreads into Glantri, and the Glantrians are convinced 
that the dwarves are responsible, resulting in a vicious war on 
the dwarfs by the people of Glantri. Lycanthropes seem 
peculiarly susceptible to the plague - few werecreatures 
survive.
        805 AC: Dwarves fleeing the anti-dwarf policies of 
Glantri establish small communities in the mountains of 
Nagpuri, Gunjab, and Peshmir.
        828 AC: Lord Alexander Glantri, of Thyatian descent, 
captures Halzunthram and confirms the land's independence from
Alphatia. The population names the land Glantri in his honor. 
The Forty Years War ends.
        Principalities of Glantri expel all dwarves, some of 
whom migrate to Darokin. They depart on Minrothad ships to join 
the craftsmen of the Minrothad Isles; they settle on Fortress 
Island. 
        829 AC: Lord Glantri founds the Republic of Glantri and 
reforms the Council of Lords into the Council of Princes.

werewolves.
        858 AC: The Light of Rad, a cadre of Glantrian 
leaders, proclaims nobility limited to wizards only and 
declares that  Council members gain the hereditary title of 
Prince. The Republic of Glantri is decreed the Principalities 
of Glantri.
        859 AC: Illegal Glantrian nobles are expelled and the 
wizards crush a minor rebellion. 
        896 AC: Etienne d'Ambreville is confirmed as a new 
prince, and Nouvelle Averoigne as his principality. Sire Henri 
and Catharine assassinate him. Etienne's magic exacts revenge, 
killing them and sending Chateau d'Ambreville into a deadly 
dimension from which no one can escape. The Council of Princes 
forbids new settlement in the abandoned lands, lest the same 
fate befall others.
        898 AC: New immigration wave to Glantri. The population 
mixes freely, and frictions decrease. 
        920 AC: 
        Economic agreement signed between Glantri and Darokin, 
allowing free passage for all merchant caravans. Business is 
booming in Glantri City. 
        927 AC: The Great Merger. Darokin's largest and richest 
merchant families agree on a central government for the entire 
country. Charles Mauntea picked to lead Darokin, beginning the 
reign of the Merchant Kings.
        932 AC: Lydia Mauntea takes over rulership of Darokin 
after the death of her husband, Charles. She assumes the title 
"Chancellor". 
        934 AC: Chancellor Mauntea calls the Second Great 
Merchants' Council in Darokin. Many of the reforms started in 
927 are finalized, including the election of a new president 
upon the death of the current leader by a standing Council of 
15 major merchants.
        970 AC: Duke Stefan Karameikos III trades his 
ancestral lands (the Duchy of Machetos) to Emperor Thincol for 
independent rulership of Traladara, which is renamed the Grand 
Duchy of Karameikos. Duke Stefan sails to and takes possession 
of his duchy, then begins parceling out land and titles to his 
Thyatian followers. He begins building roads across the Duchy 
and a strong military to protect it. A minor rebellion and 
several assassination attempts follow his move to Specularum.
        971 AC: Corwyn Hoff named Chancellor of Darokin after 
the resignation of Kalimi. 
        975 AC: Rypien Hallonica named Chancellor of Darokin 
after the death of Hoff.

commerce. Enforces Tharian Code of Conduct. The Legion is 
created. Thyatis frowns at the military threat. 
        979 AC: Adventurers are drawn to le Chateau 
d'Ambreville and break the curse. Etienne is released from his 
dormant state. The chateau crumbles into ruins; all the 
d'Ambrevilles except Etienne age and die. Etienne visits Old 
Averoigne, and brings his friend GeneviŠve de Sephora, Lady of 
Sylaire, and her spacious tower (the House of Sylaire) back to 
Glantri. He wishes his family back to life and sets about 
restoring Nouvelle Averoigne to its former status. Sire 
Malachie du Marais enters Glantri from Old Averoigne. An 
epidemic of wolf lycanthropy begins. 
        980 AC: 
        Etienne is confirmed once again as a Prince by the 
Glantrian Council of Princes. Catharine departs for Thyatis 
City as Glantri's ambassador.
        982 AC: Sire Malachie du Marais wins control of the 
Barony of Morlay deep within the Valley of Wolves, in Glantri. 
        985 AC: Founding of the Canine Protection Society in 
Glantri.
        998 AC: Second assassination attempt on Oran Meditor. 
The assassin is believed to be a hired wizard from Glantri. 
******************* Time of the "Gazetteers" ****************** 
        1000 AC: 
        In Glantri, the Brotherhood of Free Wolves is pressing 
hard for their own Principality under the leadership of Sire 
Malachie du Marais, Baron of Morlay. 
        The Immortals begin a conflict that eventually begins
to affect mortals throughout the world.
        Aegos becomes the site for an Alphatian project to dig 
a pit through Mystara's mantle into the Hollow World. (KW/HW)
        1001 AC: Political lobbyists introduce a bill 
allowing the practice of clerical magic in Glantri under very 
strict conditions. Clerics must obtain a letter of sanction 
from the ruler of the dominion they wish to practice clerical 
magic, and the ruler has free rein over the terms of the 
sanction - fees imposed, types of magic allowed (healing only, 
etc.), expiration of the letter, and so forth. Clerics are 
still forbidden to preach their beliefs, regardless of any 
letters of sanction, and only Parliament of the Council of 
Princes may grant a letter of sanction to clerics operating 
within the free territories of Glantri. 
        The Council of Princes is evenly split over the matter, 
and the measure goes to the House of Lords at Parliament. Sire 
Malachie du Marais votes against it, but the measure passes. 
The White Wolf prepares for an infestation of 
lycanthropy-fighting clerics.
        1002 AC: Sire Malachie learns of an enormous silver 
deposit in the bedrock beneath le Chateau de Malinbois. This is 
a serious obstacle to his plans to control Malinbois. 
        1003 AC: The Council of Princes approves and Act of 
Enfiefment in the economically depressed area of Bramyra, 
ending years of chaotic contests for control of the area. 
*********** Begining of the "Wrath of the Immortals" ********** 
        1004 AC: A gold strike in les Montagnes Noires leads to 
a rapid influx of population with the Valley of Wolves in 
Glantri. Sire Malachie must contend with the fact that the 
majority of the newcomers are unwanted - they put a great 
strain on the taxed natural resources of the valley, strip the 
mountains of precious minerals Sire Malachie hoped to control 
for himself, and clash with the resident populations (both 
werewolves and non-lycanthropes). 
        The Council of Princes approves an Act of Enfiefment in 
the area of Fort Sablestone. Sire Malachie attempts to 
capitalize on the Council of Prince's current willingness to 
create new Principalities. The White Wolf is also amused at 
this - if the Council grants an Act of Enfiefment in the Valley 
of Wolves, it will become the thirteenth Principality. 
        Spring: Thyatis city suffers an enormous riot by the 
poorer citizens, who have seen a steady decline in the quality 
and quantity of free bread passed out by the officials. This 
has little effect on anyone not in - or under - Thyatis city. 
The wererats of Thyatis participate in the riot, as they depend 
on the free bread almost as much as Thyatis's poor do. 
        Spring: Both Alphatia's mages and Thyatis's military 
forces become more pushy and uptight than usual.
        Spring: An Alphatian elf, Troikithus, uncovers 
evidence of the Brotherhood of the Radiance, and reports it to 
Empress Eriadna. A week later, his body is found floating in 
one of Glantri City's canals.
        Summer: Relations between Glantri and the Empire of 
Alphatia become strained, as the Alphatian Council of Wizards 
accuses the Glantrian Great School of Magic of harboring 
followers of the Entropic Immortals and using forbidden, evil 
magics. Spies and counter-spies make matters worse. Prince 
Etienne d'Ambreville is swept up in the politics and espionage 
between the two magocracies. 
        Summer: Clerical missionaries of the Immortal Vanya 
from the Heldann Territories are slaughtered while traveling 
through the Ethengar Khanates.
        Fall: Several Glantrian nobles having dinner together 
are assassinated by a bombardment of lightning bolts, fire 
balls, and other powerful magics. The sole survivor, Prince 
Innocenti di Malapietra, testifies the killers were wearing 
Alphatian clothing.
        Fall: Thyatis reinforces Glantri's demand to surrender 
the assassins, to everyone's surprise.
        Fall: Without benefit of a declaration of war, the 
Heldannic Knights send several punitive raids into Ethengar, 
launching deadly lance-cavalry attacks against Ethengarian 
encampments and slaughtering every last man, woman, and child 
encountered.
        Fall: Humanoids from the Black Mountains invade 
Graakhalia in force. The Master's spies learned of the routes 
through Graakhalia to tunnels beneath Sind; his agents made 
sure the humanoids heard there was rich plunder to be had 
beneath the Plain of Fire. The Graakhalians fight fiercely, 
then desperately, as band after band of orcs, goblins, 
bugbears, hobgoblins, and other humanoids press deeper into 
Graakhalia's labyrinths.
        Fall: A band of Glantrians are sentenced to death for 
the arson of dozens of temples of the Immortal Asterius.
        Winter: Glantrian adventurers escaping from Alphatia 
start a fire in Aasla as a distraction, which grows into a 
firestorm and devastates the city.
        Winter: Humanoids secure Graahkalia's upper levels 
against the elves and gnolls, paving the way for the Master of 
Hule's plot to seize Sind. Hulean agents struggle to 
consolidate the bickering humanoids into an army that can hold 
Graakhalia while the Master moves additional forces into place.
        Winter: Kiritan ul Nervi, egged on by Hulean agents, 
stages a coup against his brother, Rajadhiraja Chandra ul 
Nervi. The counter-uprising of Sind's people is met by 
thousands of humanoids and brigands appearing out of the earth 
itself to fight on the side of the new Rajadhiraja. More 
humanoids pour into Sind from the Plain of Fire, reinforced by 
Urduk nomads and a tribe of ogres from the Sind Desert. The 
civil war sets rajah against rajah as factions fight for 
control. Kiritan's forces quickly gain control of Sayr Ulan. 
Many loyalist Sindhis die protecting their ruler from 
assassins, and the Rajadhiraja flees to Ulimwengu.
        1005 AC: The Council of Princes in Glantri approves an 
Act of Enfiefment for la Vallee des Loups in favor of Sire 
Malachie du Marais.
        Ethengar hordes attack the Heldannic Territories.
        Prompted by attacks from Bellayne, the goblinoids of 
the Yazak steppes begin unifying. Robrenn attacks and 
irritates the Yazi goblinoids. (RS)
        An internal holy war begins in Narvaez. The church of 
Narvaez unifies the factions by providing an external enemy: 
the other Savage Baronies. Narvaez carries its Inquisition to 
the other Baronies. (RS)
        Spring: Empress Eriadna of Alphatia issues a 
proclamation of war against Glantri. In return, Glantri, backed 
by the Empire of Thyatis and the Heldann Freeholds, declares 
war on Alphatia.
        Spring: Rajadhiraja Kiritan ul Nervi consolidates his 
position as Sind's new ruler. He seems blind to the fact that 
he's merely a puppet, and that the Master of Hule pulls his 
strings. Many rajahs accept the situation, seeing 
opportunities to increase their own power. Only Rani Drisana 
of Jalawar, Rajah Mohan of Baratkand, and Maharajah Kami of 
Peshmir refuse to recognize Kiritan's claim to the crown.
        Summer: Alphatia starts building up its forces in 
preparation for eliminating the Empire of Thyatis as an 
obstacle to invading Glantri.
        Summer: The three rajahs of Sind who refuse to 
acknowledge Kiritan as Rajadhiraja attempt to overthrow the 
usurper. Their efforts are hampered by the fact that their 
mumlykets are separated by mumlykets whose rulers have sworn 
obedience to Kiritan. Opposed from without by Kiritan's 
Hule-backed forces and from within by spies and stooges, the 
attempted coup fails miserably. Maharajah Kabir Rudraksha of 
Kadesh seizes the opportunity to invade Peshmir, taking 
87-year-old Maharajah Kami prisoner and setting his son Hara 
up as Peshmir's new Maharajah.
        Summer: Alphatian wizards travel secretly to Glantri, 
and set loose hordes of monsters - many from other planes. 
Many of these monsters spill over the borders into Sind. Some 
join the Master's forces; others simply roam about looking for 
trouble.
        Fall: In Jalawar, Inay Paramesh, a distant relative of 
the Madhars, overthrows Rani Drisana Madhar. Without the help 
of Kiritan's elite guard, Inay could not have hoped to 
succeed. Vijay Niranjan, the rani's half-brother, falls in the 
fighting, as does Rohit, her first husband. Drisana escapes 
with her husband Bhagwandas. The two flee to Ulimwengu in 
search of Rajadhiraja Chandra ul Nervi.
        Fall: The Alphatians on the Isle of Dawn assault the 
Fortress of Kendach and the Hold of Fenswatch. After a few 
weeks, West Portage is taken.
        Winter: On the trail of rajadhiraja Chandra ul Nervi, 
Drisana Madhar reaches Ulimwengu. She learns that he passed 
through Karimari territory on his way to seek help from 
Yavdlom, then traveled back through hoping to drum up support 
among the Urduk nomads who did not join the Master's forces. 
Drisana stays in Ulimwengu, hoping to convince the Karimari to 
supply warriors, elephants, and triceratops in the event 
Chandra ul Nervi can form an army to regain his throne.
        Winter: His power over Sind now relatively secure, the 
Master convinces Kiritan to invade Darokin. The combined 
forces of Sind's armies and the Desert Nomads overwhelm 
Darokin's defenses and drive the Republic's armies before 
them. Akesoli falls within weeks, and the armies soon reach the 
city of Darokin itself. A substantial number of weretypes live 
secretly in Darokin - merchants and adventurers who contracted 
lycanthropy while abroad. 
        1006 AC: Torreon, Vilaverde, and Texeiras ally with 
Narvaez, rather than fight that state. The other five baronies 
(Guadalante, Cimmaron, Almarron, Saragon, and Gargon~a) ally 
to fight against the Narvaez alliance. Gauchos and Swashbuckler 
"freedom fighters" prove effective against the naval power and 
mercenaries of the Narvaez alliance. (RS) 
        Hule attacks the Savage Baronies. The baronies end 
their conflict to unite against Hule. (RS)
        Spring: Glantrian wizard-adventurers travel to 
Alphatia and harass the nobles there - fire-bombings, 
hit-and-runs, and the like.
        Spring: Duke Stefan declares Karameikos independent 
from Thyatis, now the Kingdom of Karameikos.
        Spring: Chandra ul Nervi hastily pulls together his 
own army of Urduk nomads, mercenaries, brigands, and outlaws 
from the Barren Plains and the Sind Desert to retake Sind 
while its fighting forces are occupied in Darokin. His ragtag 
army includes nearly 100 Karimari warriors with their /moto 
moto rods/ and mounted on elephants and triceratops, a number 
of Yavdlom warriors disgusted at their nation's policy of 
non-interference with "destiny", and loyal Sindhis who fled 
their homes when the civil war broke out. Panicking, Kiritan 
withdraws his armies from Darokin to meet his brother's threat.
        Spring: The forces of Karameikos (including some 
werecreatures, although they try to keep that secret), Alfheim 
and the Five Shires march to the defense of the city of 
Darokin. They lift the siege, and over the next few weeks 
slowly drive back the Desert Nomads. The Master's forces, 
weakened by their sudden loss of manpower, begin to lose the 
ground they had gained in Darokin.
        Summer: As the eastern armies drive the Desert Nomads 
from Darokin, Kiritan's armies barely manage to hold off 
Chandra ul Nervi's irregular troops. Disgusted with this turn 
of events, the Master diverts his reserve forces to reinforce 
Kiritan's armies - rather than sending them to Darokin as he'd 
originally planned. The sudden influx of humanoids turns the 
tide against Chandra ul Nervi. His forces decimated and 
scattered, the rajadhiraja flees back through Ulimwengu. The 
Master relinquishes his hold on Darokin, but tightens his grip 
on Sind.
        Summer: Days after Chandra ul Nervi's defeat, a 
devastating meteor sent by the Master of Desert Nomads smashes 
through the skyshield and slams into the Darokin/Glantri 
border. The impact creates an enormous crater north of Lake 
Amsorak. It destroys a mountain range, and raises an 
impenetrable cloud above the two nations. The resulting 
earthquake knocks down buildings in Akesoli and devastates the 
village of Chandbali. The dust cloud rising from the impact is 
larger than some countries. It covers all of southern Glantri 
and northern Darokin and extends over northeastern Sind. For 
days it blocks the sun. When it finally settles, ash and dust 
cover everything, smothering plants and fouling drinking 
water. The harvest is ruined, and a winter famine threatens.
        Fall: The trees of the Canolbarth begin to darken, 
twist, and mutate, becoming increasingly inhospitable to the 
elves.
        Fall: The dwarves of Rockhome, dismayed at the events 
of the surface world, retreat into their subterranean 
communities.
        Fall: The Master of Hule decides that Chandra ul Nervi 
must be eliminated as a potential threat to the conquest of 
Sind. He sends ten divisions across the Great Waste to 
Ulimwengu, certain that 10,000 soldiers would be more than 
enough to overrun the primitive Karimari forces and drive the 
deposed ruler out of his hiding place. The few soldiers and 
humanoids who survive the resulting massacre bring word of 
Ulimwengu's magical defenses back to Hule. The Master is 
surprised to learn that the Karimari are far more than they 
appear. His magics penetrate the illusions that had kept the 
truth of Shani Kijiji and the Karimari from him.
        Fall: The Master's attack on Ulimwengu is enough to 
convince even the most progressive-thinking Karimari to close 
their borders once more. All refugees are politely asked to 
leave - immediately. Chandra ul Nervi and Drisana Madha seek 
shelter among the Yavdlom people.
        Winter: The Great Khan of Ethengar, whose people have 
suffered from several savage raids by the Heldannic Knights, 
invades the Heldann Territories. His forces march straight to 
the capital, Freiburg, and lay siege to it.
        Winter: On the Isle of Dawn, the Alphatian army 
attempts to secure the center of the island, turning its 
attention to Redstone Castle.
        Winter: Zealot followers of the "Desert Garden" 
philosophy of Al-Kalim cross the Altan Tepes into northern 
Thyatis, and take Fort Nikos without a single loss of life on 
either side. The next day, they seize the town of Biazzan, 
also without a fight.
        1007 AC: Yazi gnolls attack the Savage Baronies, which 
have been severely weakened by previous conflicts. The Master 
of Hule sets a curse on his enemies, inflicting floods and 
other natural disasters on the Savage Baronies. (RS)
        Reston of Akesoli becomes King of Ierendi.
        Spring: The Heldannic Knights and Empire of Thyatis 
formally sign a treaty of alliance.
        Summer: King Thar of the Broken Lands leads his 
humanoid hordes in raids on southern Glantri, finally besieging 
Glantri City itself. 
        Spring: Kiritan vows to root out the last of his 
brother's supporters and begins a systematic program of 
oppression. The Master of Hule and his agents are more than 
happy to assist.
        Spring: The Graakhalians stage a last-ditch effort to 
drive the humanoids from Graakhalia. They're soundly defeated. 
Nearly half their population has died fighting or of 
starvation (no time for harvests) since Graakhalia was 
invaded. The survivors retreat deep underground, into 
territory hitherto unexplored.
        Summer: On the Isle of Dawn, the Alphatians take 
Newkirk in a surprise attack. Within a couple of weeks, 
Redstone Castle's commanders surrender.
        Summer: Thousands of humanoids from the Broken Lands 
move into Glantri and Darokin; some enter northeastern Sind, 
adding to its misery. A few spill over into Graakhalia.
        Fall: The Ylari forces in Biazzan decide to withdraw. 
The entire force slips away before the Thyatians are aware, 
getting all their people and most of Biazzan's wealth across 
the mountains safely.
        Fall: Shadow Elves invade, conquer, and settle Alfheim, 
transmuting the forest and forcing the Alfheim elves to flee 
north to Wendar and south to Karameikos. Bands break away to 
brave the Desert Nomads in search of the long-lost Sheyallia 
elves. They find no sign of their brethren.
        Winter: Plague erupts in the Heldann Freeholds, 
starting in the city of Freiburg.
        Winter: An elf from Alfheim stumbles on a Sheyallia 
elf sheltering with a Sindhi family in Baratkand. The two 
gather together as many elves as they can and enter Graakhalia 
in search of the scattered Graakhalians.
        Winter: Ochalea and the Pearl Island capitalize on the 
war raging between Thyatis and Alphatia to declare their 
independence. 
        Winter: The elves fleeing southward from Alfheim are 
trapped by a harsh winter in the icy foothills of the Cruth 
mountains.
        1008 AC: The Savage Baronies again enter into border 
conflicts. Tortles and other peasants revolt. In Almarron, 
rebels oust their dictator and install a Baron descended from 
their former noble rulers. The Colonial Revolt begins, and many 
colonies rebel against their parent states. Yazak goblinoids 
attack throughout the Savage Coast. (RS)
        Countless uprisings, civil unrests, riots, and 
assassination attempts disturb Kiritan ul Nervi's rule. The 
Master orders him to tighten his control of his nation or 
suffer the consequences.
        Spring: Helskir is overrun by Alphatians, who quickly 
sweep south and capture the northern 2/3 of the Isle of Dawn. 
Within a few days, Eruul Zaar is crowned king of Helskir by 
Empress Eriadna herself.
        Spring: Military forces from the Five Shires join the 
army of Darokin to help keep order there and defend Darokin 
from the humanoids occupying the Great Crater.
        Spring: The Alfheim elves reach Karameikos, and are 
ceded land in the east of that kingdom.
        Summer: Plague spreads throughout the north, reaching 
Glantri through Ethengar. With little clerical magic to combat 
it, Glantri's population is devastated. Lycanthropes seem just 
as susceptible as normal folk, and the Valley of Wolves loses 
many werewolves. 
        Summer: The many clerics of Heldann are increasingly 
winning the war against the plague. Healthy combined forces 
from the Heldannic Knights and Ostland penetrate into the 
Ethengar Khanates and, at the community of Tromso, massacre 
some of the armies which attacked their territories.
        Summer: The Alphatian Naval Fleet sails around the 
northern end of the Isle of Dawn and engages the Thyatian 
fleet. Great harm is inflicted by both sides, and eventually 
the Alphatian navy retreats to the Isle of Dawn.
        Fall: Ethengarians attack Alfheim elves crossing their 
territory to reach Wendar in the north.
        Winter: Glantri is finally recovering from the plague, 
and is able to drive most of the humanoids out of Glantri into 
the Great Crater. Thar's hordes now decide to attack Darokin, 
but are driven back by the armies there. 
        Winter: The Alphatian Navy makes landfall in Ylaruam, 
at the town of Cubia, two days sailing from the Thyatian 
border. 
        1009 AC: Chandra ul Nervi, sick at heart at the abuses 
his brother has been heaping on the Sindhi people, surrenders 
himself to an agent of the Master of Hule. He agrees to return 
as Rajadhiraja - under Hule's control - in order to stop the 
worst abuses. The Master sees this as a way to quiet Sind's 
unrest and promptly replaces Kiritan with Chandra ul Nervi.
        Spring: The Heldannic Knights launch a force to come, 
somewhat belatedly, to Glantri's rescue. Knights make an epic 
ride through Rockhome, Ylaruam, and Darokin, joining the 
Darokin army in time to push Thar's forces down into the 
Crater. 
        Spring: The Alphatian forces marching in by land slam 
into Fort Zendrol and capture it. For the first time in 
decades, Alphatian forces march across the border into 
mainland Thyatis.
        Summer: The Alphatian military machine rolls through 
the Thyatian duchy of Tel Akbir.
        Fall: The second group of Alfheim elves leaves the 
northern Glantrian mountains and enters the nation of Wendar. 
The Glantrian plague follows them there.
        Fall: Thyatis, hard-pressed by the Alphatian military 
juggernaut, sues Empress Eriadna for peace. 
************* End of the "Wrath of the Immortals" ************* 


Destroying the Nucleus of the Spheres causes the doom of Glantri. All 
these wizards came to Glantri precisely beacuse of the Radiance. If the 
artifact is destroyed, then the Radiance never existed, the wizards 
would never have had a reason to gather in Glantri, and the magocracy 
never was created (nor was the Great School of Magic!) If a party of 
adventurers returns to their era after having destroyed the artiface, 
Glantri then becomes a mountain wilderness!
