Year 13 AC
Mysterious ships are seen off the east coast of Taina but never make contact with the natives. The ships have sweeping lines, are bigger then any ship made in Taina or Ariella. Rumors follow about wizards of powerful magic, of lost Gods, and raiders from a far off land. The monks in their cave complex on Ariella are looking for any information on these strange ships and are paying well.

Year 12 AC
Karoon is rocked by the ruling council being killed during a closed meeting, along with all their guards. Not a one escapes and no one knows who did it. Many believe it is Sarah and her supporters trying to free Carter or at least send a message. The city is in chaos, some sections burn and warehouses are robbed. A large reward is posted to find who killed the council.

Year 11 AC
An earthquake rocks the Dwarven Islands and refugees land near Goodport in hopes of gathering supplies to help rebuild on the island. Some of the humans do not like the hard bargaining dwarves and talk against them, causing there to be some harsh interactions. The dwarves are also looking for help to take down predators that were disturbed by the earthquake, both two legged and four. They are paying well and don't care if you are human or dwarf.

Year 10 AC
A dragon attacks a caravan on the plains of eastern Taina. No one takes the rumors seriously, because dragons are the children of Catiana and would never attack unprovoked. But there are also rumors the caravan had stolen dragon eggs and had slaves. One man, by the name of Slate, says he was a slave in the caravan and the dragon saved him, but he won't say one way or another about if there were eggs or not. Many of the nearby cities are trying to find the dragon to find the truth. They are unsure of what they will do if they have to guard against a dragon or if the rumors are true.

Year 9 AC
The next spring most of the fields are able to be tilled, but the farm land near the volcano, (which later becomes known as Varanath) is still unworkable. Those who had managed to escape the area resettle to the southeast, over the small mountain range to the south. Because of the volcano eruption some predators have been displaced and begin to hunt humans. The villages in the area hire mercenaries to hunt them down so they don't lose anymore villagers or livestock.

Year 2 After Chaos
Carter Thunderhead is married to Sarah Karoon. The two and their followers settle in the south east corner of the east coast and prepare to gather troops to wipe out the rest of the ogres in the area. Merchants make the long trek across Taina to sell them goods and the longest traveled trail to date.
An explosion of pixies in Tsalagi Mountains near the north coast occurs. The nights are lit up with the dancing of firefly like lights and magical occurrences happen to those who are near by. No one is sure why they have gathered in such numbers, but most rational people steer clear of the area.

Expanded Time Line for After Chaos (AC) Part 1
So I did an expanded time line for just 100 years before the time of the High King's Sword, which is great if you want to be in that time period, but I thought I'd work on some time lines for earlier, so you can have a campaign at every time, just not near my hopefully to be published some day books. So let us begin.
Year 1 After Chaos
The Ogre and Human War has just ended. The ogres have been relegated to areas the humans and elves do not find good for farming or logging. They still attack human settlements and elves still attack ogres trying to rescue slaves. Some humans help the elves in this endeavor. Dwarves come to the mainland of Taina in search of new mines and trade. They help to start expanding the port of Stonecliffs to hold the big belly traders so they can bring in more trading ships.
A human, named Carter Thunderhead, is gathering as many humans together on the plains near the future city of Karoon as he can, in hopes of building a civilization that will hold against the ogres if they attack again. Carter and his leaders feel it is only a matter of time before the ogres try and attack again.
