This document is specific to the Platinum instance. The official history of the platinum instance up to the year of 5103 can be found at https://www.play.net/gs4/info/tomes/plattimeline.asp. Think of the two instances existing as separate planes of existence akin to a multi-verse.
The first major division of the two instances is the founding of the Order of Voln by Fas'thr T'Kali. In the prime instance the Order of Voln was founded in the year 4045.
Platinum - 4278 Turamzzyrian Empire: Founding of Voln's first monastery by Fas'thr T'kali.
The second major division takes place in the year of 5102. In the prime instance the events of the Griffin Sword Saga unfold.
Platinum - 5102 Turamzzyrian Empire: Due to a failed commune to Lorminstra, the Ebon Gate was breached as foul spirits wrecked havoc throughout the realms. Near the end, a shining golden gate extended out as it seemed all was lost and the realms would be plunged into darkness. Only the timely intervention of Lominstra through her servant was able to put to right before darkness fell. Turamzzyrian Empire: Warleader Gurock and an armada swept across the city of Wehnimer's Landing, sacking it and drove the citizenry, and even a major organization from it. The Krolvin Flag flew from the gates for many months, as his soldiers patrolled. Several adventurers even turned coat and served their new Krolvin Masters. The city was only saved in a massive engagement which saw many die, including General Lentuar. Of Gurock, nothing is yet known, only he will return.
Directions
- Official events only (storylines, etc) I think for platinum we could add some unofficial events regarding player-centric storylines. Waiting on our Platinum GMs input.
- Focus on current events (2003 and later)
- If you find something older not on the official timeline, you can add it, however
- When possible, add links to the wiki pages for the items being added
