[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9019572, member: 6879661"] The End Times event which really begins in the Empire in 2522/23 and is pretty cataclysmic by 2525 and so the Enemy Within Campaign (and the Ubersreik Adventures books) are set in and around 2512 and there is a good 10 years from this point before the apocalypse happens. There were also a lot of other inconsistencies between 1e WFRP (which borrowed a lot from early D&D) and later editions which cued more from Warhammer Fantasy Battle. [LIST] [*]Why is Karl Franz seen as a weak ruler in Enemy Within and a lot of the novels of the time (Beasts in Velvet etc) but is a hammer wielding champion in later years. [*]Why are their structural differences in the Empire - several elector states exist in 2nd Edition that don’t exist in 1st Nordland, and cities like Nuln and Middenheim have different areas of control. [*]Why do empire wizards in 1e look like D&D wizards but 2e look have braziers on their back and flaming hair. [*]Why is the Grand Theogonist in 1e an old man but in 2e onwards a War Wagon riding champion. [/LIST] Etc etc. The Enemy Within basically bridges the gap between the editions to move the Empire to a place where WFRP resembles the empire in style and structure used in WFB. The Enemy Within campaign provides the justification for the structural differences and the changes in behavior for folks like Karl Franz while the rules explain how a wizard can start looking normal but be changed by the winds of Magic and wear some prett my strange paraphernalia to help attract those winds. Just to put it in context this is about 7 years after the main events in Drachenfels and about 4 years after Beasts in Velvet. The events of the Storm of Chaos - the chaos incursion described in the Felix and Gotrek books and referenced in Paths of Damned for 2nd edition happens in 2521 so a few years before The End Times or rather it forms a prelude to it. Essentially all these timelines are compatible for the most part and 4e bridges the gap between the previous editions. The challenge would be if you want to carry on the world past 2523. You’re on your own after that point but there’s plenty of adventure in the gaps. [/QUOTE]
