viewtopic.php?f=111&t=67024 It's almost like a Kickstarter, complete with stretch goals. So here I am, back DMing, and I noticed that this wonderfu llittle timeline hasn't been updated since... well, since before I left! We're almost due to enter 1384 Dale Reckoning, and we have nearly 3 full years of storyline on the server that hasn't been recorded into the Grand History of the Amian Forgotten Realms! 500 GP gets your name in the credits. This cannot be allowed to stand. And so I turn to the people who lived the experiences: The Players. In the last three years, amultitude of things have happened, and perhaps not all of them have been recorded as well as we might have liked. This is where you come in: Any event that occured that you feel has earned its place in the timeline: Post it here. Please approxmate the date as best as you can, even if it's simply "early, mid, late" of the year. 1k GP and I send you a personal thank you PM. Current "big things" i'm looking for a concrete timeline on include Quintessence, the Arcanum War (Anyone who can get me a complete, detailed, and year-labelled history of the entire Arcanum plot, complete with consequences, post August 2012 gets cookies for life from me. Extra bonus points if your name isn't Nihilus or Kobra. ), Mindflayers (?), Tarkuul happenings, Khem's transformation into a windblasted wasteland, Caraigh and Ostland happenings, the Reavers, Underdark goingson, the loss of the Triumvir, the emergence of the Nexus and even one shots, like Uhm's destruction, Jay Edgar Mover's execution, and any and everything else I've failed to mention here. For 100k I'll handwrite you a PM, and take a picture of it, and then PM that to you. Handwritten is better! Feel free to write up your own timeline-styled review of the event! If multiple people submit for the same event the team will do our best to combine aspects of all of them so no one's work is left out to dry. I encourage multiples of the same event, in fact, to get a bigger picture! For 100 million GP I'll take a selfie with a sign and send it to you. Silly face at your option. Maybe this one isn't quite as glamorous as making content for the hak, but it's certainly wider scope - and who doesn't like writing all sagely, recording history for the future generations? If you donate a billion GP I'll have dinner with you. Netflix and chill optional. You must arrange travel. I'll cook - i'm not awful at it! Or we can go somewhere, if you don't trust my cooking. I'd understand.

Quintessence: viewtopic.php?f=80&t=83207 The event described in the first expand quote is (omg spoilers) pretty much verbatim to how things went down, and I'll get my logs to fill in the parts that were omitted or IC flavored.
((The IC timing is somewhat ambiguous. The R&L timeline got some things systematically wrong after 1379 as they accidentally skipped that year, but I've stick with a 1:1 timescale after the year of revolution. "TIMELINE" means it's copied straight from the official timeline and will be merged into my account.))
1362 DR: The Horde Wars begin. Large bands of monsters attack settlements and travellers all around Amia. Cordor takes a leading role in defending human civilization.
1367 DR: At the end of the year, Duke Montgomery of Cordor disappears. A Council is elected to rule the city. It mostly consists of famous adventurers.
1369 DR: The Council of Cordor is disbanded in the midst of a revolt. Unexpectedly, Duke Montgomery reappears and returns to power.
2005 29.11. The Duke calls for skilled arcanists to help in restoring the magical wards of the city to protect the citizens from threats within and without.
2006 4.2. Haulfest of Torm moves to Kohlingen and Waukeenar buy the temple. 5.6. Somebody attacks the Thayvians in Cordor, and they demand retribution and threaten the island. 15.7. Cordor citizens join emissaries of Kohlingen and Brogendenstein to demand the duke to expel Thayvians from the city. The Red Wizards are prepared, barricade themselves in the orphanage and hold the children hostage in exchange for a mythal crystal from the Tower of Mystra. In a moment of rashness, an unnamed Knight of Law killed the Thayvian negotiator and the situation escalated. Fire broke out in the orphanage and the Red Wizards escaped as pursues ran into trap after trap. Most of the children died, despite heroic efforts by adventurers who dove into the flames to save them. TIMELINE 1371 DR: The Simbul is sighted on Amia. She convenes in the Tower of Mystra, and later is rumored to have visited Brogendenstein and Kohlingen, who close local Thayvian Enclaves and evict the Red Wizards the night of her visit. As Cordor is about to follow their example, the Thayvians reportedly barricade themselves inside the city orphanage. As a result of Red Wizard, guard and adventurer involvement, what's known as the ”Cordor Orphanage Fire” ensued and children were killed. The Red Wizards were reportedly slaughtered to the last man. The tragedy ignited a persecution of everything Thayvian, and surviving Red Wizards fled, abandoning all enclaves in the region. 17.8. The Great Disaster/Quake. 21.8. The dwarf Foreman Fhard is appointed to oversee the rebuilding effort. The was granted by duchal decree the right to recruit anyone into service and confiscate necessary materials. There is some discontent about this forced labor, but by and large the people do their part. 28.8. After an effort to gather building materials and prepare for the rebuilding, the people of Cordor gather before the duchal palace. On top of the building, Montgomery and his bard Yossarin address the crowd. Then, in a miraculous effort of magic and manpower, Yossarin plays the Lyre of Building, the Duke calls upon magics of time and space, and the people of Cordor burst into a flurry of hastened activity. In but a fraction of time it should take, Cordor is rebuilt into the shining City of Water. 17.9. After the rebuilding, Cordor's economy is in a slump. Traders are reluctant to return to Cordor due to high import tariffs and dock at Wharftown instead. Rumors circulate about Cordor's intentions to annex Wharftown in response to this problem. 24.9. Cordor sends its militia to defend Wharftown against bandits. The military presence remains, but after a brief period Cordor pulls out and the towns' relationship remains amicable. TIMELINE 1372 DR: Tremors beneath the crust of Toril cause massive devastation on the Amian coast. The foundations of Cordor shift, flooding some of the tunnels beneath and creating others. Much of the city itself collapses or tumbles into the sea. The nearby island of Lumorier inexplicably disappears, supposedly sunken or exploded in vulcanic eruptions. Cordorian gold, persistance and the goodwill of its neighbours enable a tremendous feat: within the year, much Cordor is rebuilt, improved and even expanded. Soon after, Cordor annexes Wharftown for political and military purposes. This is a brief period, and Wharftown regains its independency on good terms with Cordor. 20.12. At the request of lieutenant Galverson and by the order of the Duke, mage guards begin to be trained to keep order in Cordor. TIMELINE 1374 DR: In midsummer, the creature to be known as Vodak makes its first appearance. Oozes begin to be sighted all across Cordor. Tey soon display the ability to create clones of adventurers slain, and with this power, become an incredible threat. The year is almost over before the matter is solved once and for all, as adventurers descend and find Vodak's mother-cyst ooze, destroying it and breaking its hold over the smaller oozes, which soon fall into disarray and destruction as they become truly mindless once more.
2007 16.1. Cordor is in an uproar as rumors spread of the murder of two people by a guardsman. More people die in a conflict between guards and friends of the victim. 20.1. The Roddyist Revolts being. Two hundred violent rioters are put down by the guard and adventurers in South Cordor. A man named Roddy dies in the incident and becomes a symbol for the discontent of the southers. These escalating conflicts seem to be the most obvious and damaging strain in the relationship between South Cordor and the adventuring population. 28.4. An incident between lieutenant Galverson and a drow woman Skex'kia Vishlesz: the drow refused to remove her helmet and was arrested. The Amian Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) protests this prejudicial violation of Cordor's Tolerance Policy and the ACLU vs. Galverson case goes to court. Vishlesz dies some months later. (DUKE RISES TO POWER 30 YEARS AGO FROM THIS MOMENT.) 4.5. An anonymous petition to ban Lolthites from Cordor begins to make rounds and gather support. 5.6. The Sunites establish a side chapel in the Temple of Waukeen. 12.8. The Cordor Temperance Alliance, a small group of citizens, campaigns to ban alcohol from the city. They do not get much support, but this shows the spark of civil activity. 14.8. In response to the protests of ACLU, the Duke makes a statement about the Tolerance Policy. He absolves lieutenant Galverson of any wrongdoing in the Vishlezs case and affirms tolerance as a guiding principle of Cordor, not legislation. In response to an adventurer-started petition signed by the masses against Lolthites, the Duke banishes all practitioners of that faith from the city. 23.8. A massive thunderstorm overtakes Cordor, and lightning bolts bore through the central plaza. The scene below shows dead cultists of Talos and some kind of doomsday machine around the Weathershroud, a floating shield that protects Cordor from natural and supernatural attacks of the Furies. There is a crack in the shield. The Duke assures it will be quickly repaired. 11.9. The Duke declares war on Kestrel Enterprises, a previously legitimate business that begins to attack Uhm and Cordorian personnel. Over the next few months K.E. attacks Cordor with sabotage and arson before they are dealt with.
2008/1376 7.4. The Orphanage is robbed of a huge sum of donation money. Half of the gold was later returned. Rumors don't agree on the responsible parties. Some say the Black Flag were the robbers and Boss Miller took the money back. Others say it was Miller's men who took it in the first place and that the Flag had tried to stop him. 10.5. The Chamberpot, a seedy pub in South Cordor, is boarded up after Sergeant Yance clears the place and arrests someone. 14.5. An emergency cabinet meeting is called to discuss budget allocation. In a report by the Amian Recorder, Marge Inavera, a statistical analyst working for Minister of Finance Joseph Maximillian states to prophetic words: “Ultimately, there is little cause for concern. Cordor is nowhere near bankruptcy, and any shifting of funds will be marginal. All it takes is one little change to have a huge impact on the city’s prosperity.” Earlier that same week Scout Division lieutenant Evetal Savannah and two dozen scouts, roughly half the division, desert their posts and Cordor. The retired lieutenant Galverson disappeared at the same time. Morale in the guard has been on the decline. A connection to the revolution seems likely. Perhaps the Duke had announced his intention to abdicate to his officials beforehand, realizing that discontent among the military backbone of his rule and the financial troubles are too great for him to solve? 17.5. Day of Revolution. According to the announcement of the Duke's Cabinet, Duke Montgomery d'Cordor abdicates and delegates leadership of Cordor to the Citizen’s Ministry. In this, they will serve as the Provisional Government of Cordor. Their chief purpose will be to maintain order during this 'Revolution', draft and ratify a new constitution for the good of the people; and finally, hold fair, free elections in Cordor, where any legal citizen of the city may vote or run for office. In the mean time, the Provisional Government rules by collective decision, operating without a prime minister or executive, merely passing simple emergency legislation to restore and maintain order. TIMELINE: The Day of Revolution in Cordor: The Law Knights, led by Sir Mark Dorne, approach the Duke's Palace. Soon after, they exit the Duke's Palace and proclaim that Duke Montgomery d'Cordor has willingly abdicated his rule over Cordor. In the following week, a provisional government is formed. The Council, the acting provisional government, makes a public promise of free elections, so that the citizens may have their rightful say in who leads the ministries. A Constitution is immediately approved and publicized, giving hope to a lost community that the government can still remain organized with the abdication of the Duke. 17.5. Legislation and Acts: the Provisional Government declares the annual Commonwealth Sovereignty Day. 19.5. Legislation and Acts: the Council votes to give the Provisional Government legislative power in emergency matters only, to be reviewed after the ratification of the constitution. 20.5. Legislation and Acts: Guard presence is to be increased to maintain order, especially in the southern district. The gold color is to be phased out of uniforms. Guards recieve a salary raise. The programme is funded by a sales tax of 0.5% on all magical weapons. 23.5. Legislation and Acts: Public Works Project. A public works fund is established to maintain public and city buildings, historical buildings, roads and other facilities. 23.6. Legislation and Acts: Amia Treaty Organization. In response to petitions to outlaw Banite faith and practice, Cordor takes the initiative in negotiations between the involved parties in the conflict between the Church of Bane and other cities and factions. 16.7. Minister of Finance Joseph Maximillian announces that former Duke Montgomery d'Cordor is to stand trial for crimes against the Commonwealth: illegal subjugation of the masses, treason against the Commonwealth, crimes of war and abuses of executive priviledge. A housing and beautification project in South Cordor is gets support from the government and Johnathin Leohnard in particular after Sympathy for South Cordor receives two and a half million crowns from Mystra's Monolith. The Recorder runs a story on the migration of West Cordor's wealthy inhabitants away from the city in response to what they experience as economic class prejudice. 20.7. Legislation and Acts: Expansion of the Court System. 30.7. Before the trial can even get underway, it goes into recess as the defense attourney Wedge Lowenstein doesn't show up in court. Jud'Vardas Kenlyl is appointed as Montgomery's new legal counsel. 9.8. After Jud'Vardas Kenlyl's resignation the bard Yossarin is steps in to represent the Duke. 31.8. Legislation and Acts: In order to legitimize the eventual voting process, establish information on tax-payers and improve and bring to date the compilation of 'official records' on citizens, the office of Census, Voting Registration and Court Records is created. 21.11. Legislation and Acts: Emergency Paramilitarization of the Commonwealth Guard. The guard is restructured to act as both a law enforcement agency during peacetime and peacekeeping agency during war when the Commonwealth lacks the funds and manpower for a standing military. This is a response to supposed threats from nobles supporting the duchal regime. 13.12. Thayvians send a letter to the Commonwealth asking their allies in the government to restore good relations. An official investigation of these alleged Thayvian sympathisers is launched. 23.12. A Thayvian cell in Cordor is exposed and raided. Sergeant Yance is given commendations for his efforts. TIMELINE ???: Talosians appeal to Talos and invite the god to take his vengeance upon Cordor. Collin Reyes invokes powerful magic to block the worst of the storm, and taunts the Storm Lord. Enraged by this hubris, the storm moves on northern Cordor outskirts, unprotected by the city's ward, and lays waste to the farmland. TIMELINE: A palpable curtain of "static" manifests over the Realms, blocking all divination magic, and preventing foresight into past, present, and future, as well as all sorts of scrying and remote vision and sensory magic. This issue persists through much of the next year.
2009/1377 2.1. There is some incident at the Cordor Arena whereupon the district had been sealed off. Rumors spread of a Red Wizard terrorist attack. 2.2. Some citizens put up anti-Thayvian, anti-dragonkin and pro-guard posters around Cordor in what seems a spontaneous campaign. TIMELINE: The Thayvian Menace returns, and gets publically thrashed by the Commonwealth. 27.2. The South Cordor Prison is bombed. Citizen Montgomery d'Cordor dies in the attack, as does former guard Dianna Verrault. Minister of Law Carton posthumously exonorates Montgomery of all crimes against the Commonwealth. There's a failed assassination attempt against Carton. TIMELINE: Eight months after the Day of Revolution, the South District State Prison is bombed from the sewers. Twenty-something inmates and guards die in the explosion and the collapse, and their names are announced by Hector L. Carton. Included among the dead were Sergeant Verrault and, to the shock of the Commonwealth, Citizen Montgomery d'Cordor, who was being held in the bombed tower. Hector L. Carton posthumously absolves Duke Montgomery of his crimes against the State. He is immediately assumed to have been a target. The culprits, Mynna and Yurioji, are set on the Commonwealth's Most Wanted List. 1.3. The Commonwealth Council decides to erect a statue of Montgomery d'Cordor in the city square, on a vote of 3-2. 10.4. Hector L. Carton dies of natural causes in his home, after some time of being ill. He is 71 at the time. 14.6. Legislation and Acts: Colligation/Fragmentation of Administrative Offices. Supposedly in response to Carton's passing. It allows for the Speaker to draw up a proposal to merge or fragment the duties of an administrative office(s) to be approved by the Council for a term of six months, after which time the Council votes to whether these changes should be permanent. 15.6. Johnathin Leohnard is found dead behind the Commonwealth Center, chest slit open from belly to neck. He is 33 years old at the time. The case remains unresolved for two years, until it's reopened. TIMELINE: In Cordor, Minister of Law Hector L. Carton falls ill. He is later reported dead of natural causes at home, at the age of 71. Minister of Magic Collin Reyes leaves the island of Amia, gathering magicians for a research team for the Ministry of Magic. Johnathin Leohnard. Minister of Health and Public Welfare, is found dead behind the Commonwealth Center, a great gash cut into his chest. He is assumed to have been murdered....by an adventurer. 22.6. The first State of the Commonwealth Address. Maximillian announces that he is merging the Minister of Law office into his Ministry of Finance for a term of six months. Sergeant Neveah Tarvencia is promoted to Lieutenant in the Adventuring Division, Captain Saeriel Zeyriel of the Adventuring Division is made the first Knight of Law in Cordor history, and Captain Yance is made leader of the division in her stead. The Speaker denounces Thayvians and almost declares war on adventurers with his strict rhetoric. He also announces that citizenship certificates will begin to be granted to people meeting the requirements of the Bureau of the Census, so that eligible voters can be registered and elections arranged. TIMELINE: One Year after the Day of Revolution, Joseph Maximillian delivers the first State of the Commonwealth Speech. In it, he openly declares war on the adventuring community, and proclaims the necessity for Certificates of Citizenship, if the Provisional Government is to make good on its promise of providing free elections. 26.7. The Commonwealth sends five citizens as emissaries to Kohlingen where they will practice their trades and act as liaisons when needed. 20.8. Mark Dorne and Captain Yance announce that the latter has captured Enemy of the State, terrorist Mynna single-handedly when she attempted to assassinate Elijah Cromwell. 20.8. Arwen and Aluvard's Fine Clothes Shoppe is bombed to rubble. At least five people died in the attack. 23.8. Richard Johnson, Field Marshal of the terrorist organisation BLACK, is apprehended in Wiltun lands and turned over to the Commonwealth. He faces the death penalty for the murder of five and the bombing of the Clothes Shoppe building. Two days later he is found guilty of all charges. (WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM? MUST SPEAK TO THE MAN!) TIMELINE: BLACK commits terrorist activities until their leader, Richard Johnson, is captured by a knight of Wiltun and delivered to Cordor. He is placed on trial, and summarily found guilty and sentenced to execution. 30.8. Justicar Marinsbane sends a response to Cordor's gesture of sending emissaries. The Justicar offers his help in dealing with the terrorists of BLACK and assures he would much like to visit the Commonwealth in the near future. 14.9. Upon his return from a long mission to find foreign experts to work in Ministry of Magic, Minister Collin Reyes is assassinated. In a public projection on the wall of the Commonwealth Center, a mage guard recreates the scene: a seagull flying at Reyes' throat, moments before a small explosion collapses the dock. Reyes' body is never found in the wreckage but he's declared dead, and the guard begins a campaign to kill all gulls in the city until the murderer is caught. TIMELINE: Collin Reyes is assassinated upon his return to Cordor...by a seagull. Terrified of the implications, Joseph Maximillian delivers a paranoid edict: that all seagulls are to be bolted and murdered in the streets. Corpses litter the streets as the birds are executed left and right. After Reyes's death, a troubling curtain that has disrupted and muffled the divinations of mages and priests alike for some months is apparently lifted. Divinations yield results again. 30.9. The Salandran hero of the Commonwealth Weston Carter resurrects Johnathin Leohnard from his Moribund grave on festival of Highharvestide. The Commonwealth rejoices.
2010/1378 13.1. The Amian Recorder returns to publication under new management. The new Editor-in-Chief, William Hurst, reports that his predecessor Ethan Starr fled Cordor rather than be taxed by the Commonwealth. Documents he hadn't had time to publish allegedly indicated a relationship to the Noble's Army, and a warrant was placed for his arrest. The first issue reports the death of Law Knight Zeyriel. She died in defending Joseph Maximillian against a Sharran assassination attempt during the execution of Ray Rodgers. 3.2. The Amian Recorder presents the proposal for South Cordor Reconstruction by the late Christophan Warrick according to the original intention of Johnathin Leohnard. 29.9. The Amian Recorder reports that the murder of Collin Reyes was a Harper conspiracy. A report from a ”concerned citizen” identifies several alleged Harpers who arranged for the ”Gull” to assassinate Reyes. 8.10. The South Cordor Reconstruction Project nears its conclusion. The Council announces that its accepting proposals for the use of building #01492, the old Adventuring Division barracks next to the Nomad. 17.11. A strange obelisk appears in Central Cordor, and the Ministry of Magic reports it does not pose a threat. Whatever happened to it is unclear.
2011/1379 7.1. Security in the city is tightened as rumors spread about the disappearance of Johnathin Leohnard. Various parties are suspected of kidnapping him, but no announcement is made. Some months later Maximillian reveals in an interview with Hurst that the orphanage-raised Leohnard left for the Sword Coast to search for his birth parents. Minister of Magic Tytalus hasn't been seen for some time either, though the Ministry continues its normal operation. He is later said to be abroad on research. Why the heightened security, then? Around the same time, portal wands cease to work in Cordor. Renee Flowers, leader of Sympathy for South Cordor, also disappears and is assumed murdered. 29.1. Frugo Till is escorted out of Speedy's Messenger Service, and the next morning Commonwealth Courier Company has replaced the old business. Its services are restricted to citizens only, for reasons of security and efficiency. 2.3. An open election for the Minister of Health & Public Welfare is announced. Secretary of the Ministry, Doktor Karse Ignoma and priestess Xaviera Xuider-Xee run for the position. 7.4. Citizen Xee is elected as the Minister of Health & Public Welfare. Dr Ignoma continues as Secretary. TIMELINE: In spring, elections are held in Cordor to fulfill the position of Johnathin Leonhard, the Miraculous Ressurected, who had, for the second time, taken a departure from the Commonwealth. In the race between Xaviera Xuider Xee, and Dr. Karse Ignoma, Xaviera wins, and she is taken in with loud applause, becoming the new Minister of Health and Public Welfare. 16.4. A strange phenomenon of Aurora Borealis begins in West Cordor and slowly spreads across the island and sea in a northeasterly direction. 21.4. A messenger from Kohlingen denounces the Arcanum and its influence on the Ministry of Magic, accusing both of hostile action towards the Mystrans. Kohlingen urges the Commonwealth to investigate this matter and assures its good intentions toward the city. After this diplomatic incident, the five emissaries from Cordor leave Kohlingen. 26.4. Shrine of Eilistraee joins in condemning the Arcanum. Jud'vardas Kenlyl tells he was to represent the Duke but suspected Arcanum agents kidnapped his wife and threatened him to drop the case. 26.4. Minister Xuider-Xee presents the Council's response, denying any knowledged of the Arcanum's alleged crimes. The Commonwealth nonetheless takes these charges seriously and invites First Knight Yaston Sylgerand of Kohlingen to assist in the Secretary Jay Edgar Mover's investigation into the matter. 27.4. Headmaster Ulrik Valis of Mystra's Monolith reiterates the Monolith's claims against the Arcanum, exposes their allegedly racist, sexist and elitist ideology and explains details of their attack. 28.4. Guard Captain Nevaeh Tarvencia brings forth accusations of corruption in the government, blaming the Arcanum for the attempted murder and suspected kidnapping of Johnathin Leohnard and the Ministry of Law for overlooking evidence against the Ministry of Magic. She encourages citizens to demand the rights promised to them if the government cannot handle the issue with integrity. This causes quite a stir among the people and the Recorder is quick to profit. 29.4. Cordor erupts into a frenzy at the Second State of the Commonwealth Speech. Evidence is flung on both sides of the podium, culminating in an impassioned speech by Nevaeh Tarvencia, Captain of the Adventuring Guard. This causes Joseph Maximillian to make several declarations, with the end result being an enflamed demand for the Captain to "Arrest the Harpers for crimes against the Commonwealth". The Captain declines, and Minister Xaviera makes an attempt to stall the decision and pull the Council to discussion. It happens on the spot, and an anxious, nervous Elijah Cromwell demands his right to private counsel before rendering a decision. The two ministers successfully stall the decision, and the criminally accused walk free of the city. The charges are later rescinded on lack of evidence. 30.4. The Aurora Borealis that has spread over the island and to the north-east, originating in Cordor 16.4., reaches the Monolith of Mystra and disappears along with the tower. Ulrik Valis makes a public statement claiming the tower and one of its inhabitants was willingly sacrificed to prevent a backlash against the Commonwealth, and accuses the Arcanum not only of murder and sabotage but gambling with the lives of Cordorians. TIMELINE: A beautiful aurora appears over Cordor, and stretches over the length of the island, extending to the northeast. It goes across the sea, where it meets with the lone Mystran monolith in the ocean. When it comes into contact wiht the Monolith, the Aurora abruptly disappears.... as does the Monolith of Mystra. The few remaining members of the Monolith Guild take refuge in Kohlingen. 5.5. Fliers and ”Monties” minted in the Duke's days rain down from the sky, demanding the death of minister Tytalus and Secretary Pelczukr by a ”True Prophet of the Seven Stars” supposedly unaffiliated with Harpers or the Monolith. A bounty of 40.000.000 gold is promised for their heads. Speaker Maximillian quickly responds, outlawing the faiths of Mystra and Azuth and asking for practicing magicians to report to the Commonwealth Center. There they are asked to never wield Art against the State. This is reported to be a harmless geas that has no other effect. The next day the guard reports the capture of Xyrkha Vanzan, a Sharran responsible for the fliers. Minister Xee demands lifting the ban on Mystrans and Azuthans and undoing the geas spells. The ban is no longer enforced and the applications of geases stops. 7.5. Captain Tarvencia announces that the investogation of the murders of Johnathin Leohnard, Renee Flowers and too other Sympathetics is reopened, with Sir Avadon of Wiltun as the official suspect. Avadon turns himself over to the Ministry of Law two days later. (WHAT HAPPENS?) 11.6. Bendir Dale finally joins in condemnation of the Arcanum. TIMELINE: Before, during, and in the wake of these events in Cordor, the magical institution known as the Arcanum comes under heavy public attack from the faces of the Mystran Monolith, with official backing from the city of Kohlnigen. Political relations become strained. Immediately. Public backlash varies, and minister Xaviera and Captain Tarvencia are publically seen making statements against various actions of the Arcanum, who are quickly linked as being the entirety of Cordor's Ministry of Magic. TIMELINE ???: Goblins and Kobolds in the Frontier north of Cordor begin to wage war on each other, a combat based on territorial expansion needs. The combat is bloody and stalemated, with no real victor. However, this benefits the nearby farmlands and frontiers: Attacks on Cordor lessen as the beasts turn on each other, with the kobolds seeking to claim the numberous caves and underpasses in the West for Warrens and the Goblins seeking to claim the already mined out cave complexes of te Kobolds for their own use.
2012/1380 1.3. The Amian Recorder reports that a member or members of the Ministry of Magic are to be charged with high treason for attacking the Monolith of Mystra without authorization, and that the Ministry has been inoperable during the investigation. 12.1. Guldorand is burned to the ground. 16.1. Cordor steps up to offer citizenship to the refugees of Guldorand and to reclaim the territory of the lumber camp. Citizen Artum Tauri takes charge of the rebuilding effort until he disappears. Other parties of the island, notably the Copper Industries, assist in the project. 23.1. Guldorand is attacked again 31.3. A plague breaks out in Amia Forest, killing birds at first but soon targeting other animals. In a matter of days elves are dying. Two weeks later the plague reaches Cordor, and two weeks after that local elves begin to fall. Elftown, at the waterfront in South Cordor, becomes a ghost town as residents die or flee. The plague rages on for some five months until it passes. 31.5. The Arcanum trial begins, with 13 members of the Ministry of Magic accused. 10.9. Justicar Saul Marinsbane of Kohlingen passes away after collapsing at the annual Wyrmfall celebration. 21.9. The Blue Skies Academy opens its doors to students. 24.9. Representatives from Cordor, including the Speaker, attend Marinsbane's funeral.
2013/1381 5.2. Commonwealth troops move to the Lowlands Delta in the wake of Reaver attacks and claim jurisdiction. Guard presence in the northern outskirts of the town and along the route to Guldorand also increase. 7.2. Captain of the Adventuring Division, Nevaeh Tarvencia, is declared Enemy of the State. She is accused to an assassination attempt on Joseph Maximillian, cutting down Knight of Law Hector and several others in the process. Rumors spread of a Kohlinger attack on the Cordor-occupied Lowlands Delta, but Kohlingen denies responsibility. 8.2. At the invitation of the Mayor of Wharftown, Silver Dragons of Kohlingen move into the town and declare it under their protection. The Adventuring Division of the Cordor Guard is disbanded and merged into the new Commonwealth Scouts – Alpha Division Vanguard. 13.2. A Treaty of Light is signed by representatives of Kohlingen, Copper Industries, the Eilistraeens, the dwarves of Barak Runedar, Wharftown, and Winya Ravana. It repeats accusations against the Arcanum and calls upon the people of Cordor to expel the organisation from power. Tensions increase. Wiltun declares its neutrality. 14.2. Joseph Maximillian announces an election for a new Minister of Finance, as advised by Minister Xee. Over the next few days, four candidates step up: Secretary of Finance Penn E. Pincer, Bureau of Census official Eli Hodgewall, and citizens Aven Srylle and Arianne Regaleyn. 15.2. In retaliation to their signing the Treaty of Light, the Commonwealth revokes the special dispensation of drow possessing an insignia from the Shrine of Eilistraee to enter the city, effectively banning all drow. 16.2. Castiel Fryar is taken into custody for suspected failure to give up her noble privilege in Waterdeep. 17.2. Tarkuul denounces the zeal of Kohlingen but also joins in condemnantion of the Arcanum. It announces its continued neutrality and remains open to seekers of knowledge. 4.3. Castiel Fryar is quietly released.
