Expanded Timeline For After Chaos (AC) Part 269

Year 269 AC
An image appears in the middle of a merchant camp near Gathering.  The image is that of a dwarven warrior, fighting some unseen battle and clearly out numbered and wounded.  He eventually dies in the image, which causes the whole camp to disband in the middle of the night.  No one know why it happened, but now the camp is considered haunted and will not be camped at by the knowing.

For the GM the dwarf was a great dwarven warrior named Stonehelm in the Chaos Wars..  He bore a weapon of great power and it was dragged away by creatures, then skiegs, then ogres.  The weapon is near by and if returned to the dwarven realm could garner a great reward.

Expanded Timeline For After Chaos (AC) Part 268

Year 268 AC
Spring comes early, and with it, flash floods.  Many basins with large rivers, and even some small creeks, over flow.  People are forced out of their houses, losing everything, including live stock.  Gathering tries to help those they can, as do many of the larger cities on the west side of the Tsalagi Mountains.  Little help comes from the east.

Expanded Timeline For After Chaos (AC) Part 267

Year 267 AC
A meeting of the heads of the orders of the Gods happens in Karoon.  There are debates about the Balance, discussions about theology, and how to protect their Gods' ethos'. Some clashes of ideas happen, but no violence happens.  Many make connections with other places of worship of their God or Goddess and even some cooperation happens between light and dark gods' temples, (mostly the dark gods protecting the temples of Aiyana).

Expanded Timeline for After Chaos (AC) Part 266

Year 266 AC
A huge diamond is found in a mine in the Tsalagi Mountains.  Trying to transport it back to civilization of Landshire and Karoon becomes difficult.  Bandits, warlords and even monsters attack the transport which eventually makes it to an eastern port and is shipped to the Dwarven Islands for a King's ransom.  Many mercenaries are hired to protect the gem, (and it's littler brothers and sisters), and many do not make the entire journey, because of the deaths of so many.

Expanded Timeline For After Chaos (AC) 265

Year 265 AC
A delegation of Akicitia make their way north to speak with the wood elves in the north.  Though the reason for the visit is unknown, the whirlwind of activity, along with rumors, stretches to almost every corner of Taina.  Akicitia hardly travel away from their home and in such numbers is even more unheard of.

For the GM the Akicitia are looking for the scion of a wood elf who saved their tribe so long ago in the Chaos Wars, because they have found the hero's remains and weapon which had been lost at the end of a long battle that saved the Akicitia's tribe.  They wish to return both and honor the family of their hero.

Expanded Timeline For After Chaos (AC) Part 264

Year 264 AC
This year's Gathering is tense.  Both sides of the Landshire conflict arrive, claiming to be the leader of that large city.  Both delegations are given a seat at the table.  Finally, the two sides agree to being mind read by clerics of Catiana.  They discover that neither poisoned their brother and though it takes time, the two reconcile and build a co-leadership to rebuild Landshire.  The Gathering is considered a great success.

Expanded Timeline for After Chaos (AC) Part 263

Year 263 AC
The "king" of Landshire dies suddenly, starting a civil war between his brothers, each accusing the other of killing their brother.  There are loyalists on each side, though most of the general populous just wants someone to lead them.  Mercenaries, healers, armorers, and suppliers are needed by both sides.

For the GM, strangely, neither brother killed the king.  He died of a heart attack in his sleep, but most believe it was poison.  So both brothers, who want the best for Landshire, are really fighting against nature.
