[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4468189, member: 20323"] [b]timeline...first shot[/b] Here's my first attempt at an AL-QADIM 4e timeline. So far this justs brings the history to the end of Khalil al-Assad's rule. [I]Dates are given in “Years of the Loregiver”, marking how many years have passed since Ahmed al-Assad, the first Grand Caliph, discovered the scrolls containing the Law of the Loregiver. 608 YL corresponds to 1385 DR, Year of Blue Fire. The current year is 702 YL (1479 DR).[/I] [B]565-629 KHALIL AL-ASSAD, THE MUNIFICENT[/B] Khalil was the 18th Grand Caliph to rule the Enlightened Throne. His long reign was marked by his change from a wild adventurer to a skilled politician accessible to the people, his disguised evening outings, and the great rewards he bestowed upon his loyal subjects. 573 Revolution in Umara Distant Umara’s caliph is slain by the Khan of the Astoks who claims the throne. After a year of negotiations the Grand Caliph acknowledges the Khan’s claim. This precipitates the Grand Caliph returning from adventuring to tend his duties. 580-82 The Two Daughters Janya and Dalia, the Grand Caliph’s daughters by Tanya bint-Perijan are sent to a protected fortress in the al-Akara mountains after The Soft Whisper learns of a plot to abduct them. They are to await the birth of a male heir, to be married to the new heir, or to become heirs themselves. Secretly they are inducted into The Soft Whisper. 582-592 Fruitless Years Though he has two daughters, the Grand Caliph refuses to acknowledge either of them as an heir. He tries to beget a son to no avail, and one of his uncles is to inherit the throne. In truth, the Grand Caliph is cursed by both the Brotherhood of True Flame and the Yikkaria to bear no children. Consumed by harem life, the Grand Caliph does nothing for his subjects. 589 Coup in Hafayah When the sultan of Hafayah is poisoned, a bloody coup wracks the city. Prince Saba emerges as the new sultan. 592 Fall of the Brotherhood Heroes reveal the curses afflicting the Grand Caliph and help dispel them by defeating Sultan Jamal al-Yindannim of The Brotherhood of True Flame. After this loss, the Brotherhood is hunted throughout the empire. 593 Against the Yikkaria The Grand Caliph leads his army to face the Yikkaria threat in the World Pillar Mountains. However, after a single battle he abandons the idea of war with enslaved dao in inhospitable mountains. With winter fast approaching, he reluctantly heads home with the spoils. 593-94 The Three Sons With the curse broken, the Grand Caliph is blessed with not one but three sons: 608 The Great Unbinding* 629 Death of Khalil al-Assad [/QUOTE]
