I shall detail the history of my campaign first as a time line, which you see below, and then zoom in on certain occurrences with greater detail.  However, as with my Pantheon, the complete detailing of all the major happenings in the history of this world may take some time.  As always, I welcome any input and/or submissions in this and any section.
