Storyline timeline

This is an attempt to catalog the dates by year of major and minor events within the world of Elanthia so that for events not on GSWiki players will have the resource to track them from here.

Major

Minor

Minor events, storylines, or quests are brief in length, usually over a few days, or recurring characters and their stories that don't tie into the larger picture. These can occasionally be player storylines that gain occasional GM support or are later adopted as canon.

(Most storylines prior to 1995 are usually not considered canon material due to copyright issues with Iron Crown Enterprises when Simutronics and I.C.E allowed the business relationship to expire.)
