Great rivarly between Nuln's magical colleges, The Eldritch University and Academy of Wizadry (University College of Nuln), starts rival explosive displays on Mondstill for the entertainment of the populace. In exchange for twelve dozen wagon-loads of gold, Dwarf craftsmen build Fortress Kreighof for the Elector Count of Ostermark. However, when the Dwarfs receive their payment, they discover they have been short-changed by a measly two and a half pennies. THey return to kreighof with a sizeable army from Karak Kadrin and raze the fortress to the ground. The Night of a Thousand Arcane Duels. Challenge for Supreme Patriarch. Most powerful Magisters gather to the Altdorf in the Hall of the Duels. Rivalries between the Colleges of Magic turn into outright violence, and for a single night, the sky above Altdorf is lit with fireballs, lighting bolts and multicoloured flashes of light as wizards turn their powers and war machines upon each other. Order is restored after a magical backlash kills six of their eight Patriarchs in a variety of gruesome and horrific ways. Alondir Deathshard, Assassin Master of Har Ganeth, is slain by his best pupil, Shadowblade. Sea Lord Aislann is washed up on the shores of Etaine. Six months prior, he had been mortally wounded and left for dead by the Dark Elf reaver Lokhir Fellheart, but now bore not even a scar, and claimed no memory of the missing months. From that moment on, Aislinn was hailed as the Herald of Mathlann - for surely only the god of the seas could have delivered the admiral from his watery grave. Whilst hunting the Bonegrinder Giant, Maulgrong, Borkill the Bloody-handed finds the Chalice of Chaos at the base of a jet-black monolith. As he drinks from the cup, Maulgrong attacks, but the vile liquid causes Borkill's body to swell with unholy power; granting him the strength to best his monstrous foe. The Siege of Couronne.When the Bretonnian city of Couronne came under siege by a great warherd of Beastmen, aid unlooked-for arrived in the form of a High Elf army under the command of Imrik of Caledor. In truth, the High Elves cared not for the fate of the Bretonnian city - their only concern was the sanctity of the waystones that now lay buried beneath Couronne's chief castle. So it was that Dragon Princes battled snarling Gors alongside Knights of the Realm; that the shieldwalls of stocky Men-at-arms were flanked by regiments of noble High Elf archers and stern Phoenix Guard. In Bretonnia, bards tell that Prince Imrik and King Charlen fought like brothers that day, fighting as one against every foul Jabberslythe and Ghorgon to emrege from the Beastmen's ragged ranks. A few even claim that King Charlen saved Imrik's life, spearing the Cygor that had swept the Elf from his saddle before it could stomp him flat. For their part, the Elves remember the Bretonnians as crude but enthusiastic fighters, whose valour almost overshadowed their impertinence. Prince Imrik never forgave Charlen for stealing a good many of his kills. The corpse of Ernezio Porcupio, mercenary captain of Luccini, is found inside a windowless basement beneath his castle, the cellar firmly locked from the inside. No trace of the killer is found. The Slann Mage-Priest Tecciztec of Tlaxtlan, the City of the Moon enacts a sorcerous ritual aimed at pushing Chaos Moon out of its orbit. The MagePriest fails to muster sufficient power however. The Chaos Moon is shaken, and chunks of it split away, to fall with devastating effect upon the lands of Men across the Great Ocean. Patriarch of the Golden Order Gotthilf Puchta writes famous A Modest Treatise on the Nature of Magic (a massive tome found now in every College of Magic). Charlen I L'enorm becomes King of Bretonnia (Bretonnian year 1441).

Timeline 2400-2499 Version 002
Notes About the Timeline 0) Warhammer Fantasy Battle:Empire -book states that challenge for Supreme Patriarch is held for every eight years. But in both WFRP1 and WFRP2 Realms of Sorcery it is only seven years. I'll go for seven years. In RoS1 it is stated that the current years is last year for Thyrus Gormann to held the office (and then we have the duel again). Well, if RoS1 happens in 2512, then the duel is 2513. From there we can count the Duel years: ...2499, 2506, 2513, 2520, 2527, 2534... 1) I think I founded this information from the Warhammer Net -site. That Emperor Matthias went missing. NOW, there is also another Emperor Matthias (Holswig-Schliestein) that went missing in the Altdorf Fog (Beast in Velvet). So, I don't know about this information. Might actually be same person, or both just went missing during their reign? Also note that Dieter, who became Emperor after Matthias is mentioned to be son of Anton von Krieglitz (who was also Emperor, probably before Matthias). 2) Years are not given to these events, just "about" time. Example: Little over one hundred years ago, or fifty years ago, or century ago...etc. I decided to give exact year. 3) This information is from Warpstone: Cult of Sigmar by N. Arne Dam and Tim Eccles. 4) In WFRP1 it was actually Dieter IV that these illusionists robbed, but Emperor Wilhelm works better. 5) This information I actually found from Wikipedia: Reiksguard. It said that they were created during the reign of Emperor Wilhelm III. Again year is just my guess. 6) It seems that Louen Leoncoeur is almoust 90 years old?!? Little Grail power there. Well, this birth-year is my guess again. Oh, and why Leon de la Tete D'Or? In WFRP1 time (before changes made by GW) king of Bretonnia was not Louen, but Charles de la Tete D'Or. Now, if Leon would actually be de la Tete D'Or in birth name (and Louen Leoncoeur is more calling name) it would actually suit better for older documents, some novels...etc. Just idea. 7) There are no official ruling years given in any source for Holswig-Schliestein emperors between Wilhelm II/III and Karl Franz. I just needed the years in my game once and created these. Use them if you like. But there are few ideas. Example: In Red Thirst story Great Enchanter Drachenfels has just been defeated and the Emperor is Luitpold currently. In WFB (8th): The Empire: States that Luitpold is the Emperor in 2470. Also it says that Karl Franz is infant during this time, but this I choose not to use. 8) In WFRP1 (RoS1) Magister Patriarch of the Order of Shyish is Günther Klaus who has been High Amethyst for the last thirty years in 2512. But in WFRP2 (RoS2) it is Viggo Hexensohn who has been in that position about sixty years in 2522! I'll go for the new one - Hexensohn. Sorry Klaus. 9) In Drachenfels -novel it is mentioned that Detlef Sierck had been four years old when Drachenfels was defeated (2480) by Oswald and his band. 10) Actually in the Beast in Velvet -novel it is stated that Leos is 9 years younger than Emmanuelle. But this really doesn't work in any timeline. Let's make him just two years younger. 11) I base this year to the information in ToS, where current Ulricsson haven't spoken for over thirty years. Maybe he ended speaking after becoming Ulricsson? 12) In Drachenfels -novel it is stated that Luitpold, son of Karl Franz I, is 12-years old. And this is when the play happens (2505). So, in my Timeline this is his birth-year and that would make Karl Franz 16 year old dad (which works). 13) This idea is based on the information found originally from The Citadel Journal: Norsca. It is part of my Norsca Project.
