Bloodmarsh 2287 Timeline

Quern Time

Until 350 Million Years Ago (mya)

Back when time was moved by the Quern of Change. Stuff was a little more loosey-goosey back then, it seems, or else maybe our magic mineral dating processes are just not that reliable over really long periods, eh, whaddayathink. Anyway, deposits from this period are really, really thin, and have a stupid high preponderance of biogenic matter. It almost seems like erosion hadn't been properly turned on yet.

-350 mya > 10,000 years ago

It is speculated that this is when the Gods first entered the world. They may have been hanging around somewhere else up until then, talking and having a smoke, but now they're really on the stage. They began making their Special People at this time, but all of their early experiments went off the rails relatively quickly.

Everything changed when the first tree was cut down. It was really on. Like on on. Mortals duking it out with immortals. Plagues kicking mortals in the belly and taking their lunch money. Mortals writing stuff about how bad things are. Everything is now intense, and somebody's gotta take the fall before it's all over.
