Borders change, rulers die or retire and are replaced, and occassionaly something gets invented, be it a new spell or an improved method for boring cannon barrels.The king of a nation might only get a quick note such as 'King Rowan III, Ari 8, Ftr 2, LN, 1612 - 1624, dies after long illness, prone to defense rather than aggressive', while the local baron would be more likely to get a full write up, simply because the players are more likely to meet him in the flesh.Every so often there is a disaster, war, or after the year 1630 supernatural event. (The year that magic returned to the setting.) The period from 1618-1680 are the most detailed at the present time.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
