Revision as of 12:12, 19 October 2010
This article serves to index as much Canon information about the game's lore, history, and characters as possible. This page does not decide what is and is not canon, it merely collects and summarizes documents that are already considered canon.
Working Definition of Canon
Canon is considered to mean documents, stories, images, descriptions, conversations, and general information that appears in game, is created by the developers, or is explicitly canonized by them.
Historical Documents[1]
These are roughly sorted chronologically. There is no canon timeline outside of specific dates found in these documents. If chronology is in doubt, forum time stamps have been used to sort documents.
Pre Upheaval
Echoes of History
Guildmistress Eltsina reads through a scroll of pre-upheaval history. The lawgiver Magnus united the different races under his kingdom. Following his death, his children (either literal or figurative) fought amongst themselves and the Deniers. Society focuses on war and Unobtanium is harnessed. During a critical battle, the earth is rent and the Great Upheaval occurs.
