I have recently turned my mind to sketching out a loose history for the events in which A Coward's Tale take place. It helps me to make sure I don't contradict myself. And sure enough, I did find a few gaffs, which have now been fixed (for example, Hatch met VanCleef 12 years ago, not 8). I know a few of you Vulcans (*cough* Celera) like such things, so I thought I'd share it with you. I will add to this chronology as events unfold in the story. Of course, I might also juggle some of the dates later if it suits me :
22 years ago – Vatorio born
20 years ago – Robbyn born.
18 years ago – Copper born.
15 years ago – end of the third war, humanity, led by King Varian Wrynn flee from Lordaeron in the north to seek refuge in the south.
14 years ago –General Marcus Jonathan elevated to High Commander of the Stormwind Defense. The dead are interred at Raven Hill; the General attends with his family.
13 years ago – reconstruction of Stormwind is completed.
12 years ago – King Varian Wrynn dissappears from Stormwind under mysterious circumstances. The boy-king, King Anduin Wrynn is installed as ruler, under the guidance of Bolvar Fordragon and the mysterious Lady Katrana Prestor. A Great Tax is levied against the people of Elwynn, Redridge, Duskwood and Westfall to pay for the reconstruction. Edwin VanCleef disappears from Stormwind, appears in Westfall, and begins to form the Westfall resistance.
11 years ago – Hatch’s family murdered
10 years ago – The Westfall uprising
9 years ago – Robbyn’s ill-fated sea voyage. General Marcus Jonathan begins to personally command the Stormwind armies against the Defias rebels.
8 years ago – The Stormwind army razes the town of Forest’s Edge.
6 years ago – Sentinel Hill established in the heart of Westfall.
5 years ago – The dead begin to rise from their graves in Raven Hill. Raven Hill lost.
4 years ago – Vatorio wins the sparring competition at the annual Anduin Festival. The same year, the General takes Robbyn to the Lion’s Pride Inn and provides him with a prostitute as a coming of age present.
