I didnt know you could edit fortresses in and out of world maps though.  Thats cool!  I gotta learn how to do that.
You can't we'll have to ASCII paint the thing from scratch, so making it look like an adventure mode map might work better (IE, blank space to fill in.)

So Mogror starts life in Olonkulet many years ago, and sometime after the downfall he is captured by the civilization Nilarzes is a part of, becomes imprisoned in Nilarzes, and since he's in Blocklanced, supposedly over a thousand years later Mogror will have to escape sometime in Nilarzes' history? Damn it, and I really wanted to kill him to! ( ;))

Where would Oldbeard fit in? He's seen copperblazes in it's full glory, and he's been around since 2d and the treants.

So, a very, very preliminary timeline to get things started.  Let's assume that this is for a somehow prime alternate universe or something.   :-\

Anyhow, we can chop and change this as appropriate, add new forts and so on.


BAD - Before Arbitrary Date
AD - Arbitrary Date


BAD 3000 - Jreengus occurs.

BAD 2500 - The Epic Of Boatmurdered!

BAD 2000 - Copperblazes Founded

BAD 500 - Jreengus occurs.

BAD ~40 - Abbeyverse Founded

BAD ~30 - Nist Akath Founded

BAD 20 - Olonkulet Founded

BAD 19 - 'Lanternwebs' destroyed.

AD 0 - Olonkulet Sealed Away

AD 30 - Jreengus occurs.

AD 80 - Waterbore Founded

AD ~95 - Waterbore Sealed Away, meets unknown end.

AD ~135 Lanternwebs Founded

AD ~140 Nilarzes Founded, Lanterwebs & Nilarzes caught up in large-scale war with goblins.

AD 160 - Hateslaughter Founded in wake of Nilarzes/Lanternwebs' victories.

AD 600 - Jreengus cancels occurence; interrupted by Carp.

AD 700 - The Demon War

AD 710 - Oldbeard cancels unending tale; interrupted by Jreengus.

AD 1200 - Blockedlance Founded



...This makes Oldbeard nearly 3000 years old.  He must've come from a time when dwarves didn't have a max age.

Well, if we're dealing with forts that involve Olonkulet, Oddbodd makes an appearance in Geshud Osod.

It would have been after Waterbore, since he came from there.

The calendar system used in Geshud Osod was from a different continent (world) and would probably fit in around 105 AD accounting for travel time and what-not.

I've plans for the rebirth of Olonkulet as a hidden city inside the area claimed by the other fort. It's obviously still a work in progress.

It's a good start  :)

The founding of Nilarzes relative to Lanternwebs is correct and the joint war on the trolls (not goblins) started in Nilarzes' 2nd year.

For fortresses that haven't ended yet you could put something like (outcome unknown) after the founding.

I think that Oldbeard was around at worldgen, and just never died.

It's a project between existing stories, to make a unified map. Also, other than a blog, what is Jreengus? and how does Sebshoskeshan (Hindsight-foresight) fit in this? we'll have to be carefull there, as the Cataclysm is a big event, and the *Present day* fraction of it is fairly high-tech. (18th-19th c earth tech.) Still I'll edit the current timeline into the OP.

I think part of the problem is that Olonkulet didn't actually exist as a fort until recently, and I have a bunch of characters hailing from there all over the place.
Oh dear.
