History of Norrath Timeline (Graphical)

[Mixxit]

<p>Hey everyone,</p><p>A new jquery plugin came out that lets you make graphical timelines and they also do free hosting!</p><p>History of Norrath (Graphical): <a href="http://loreofnorrath.wordpress.com/history-of-norrath-timeline/" target="_blank">http://loreofnorrath.wordpress.com/...rrath-timeline/</a></p><p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">I've signed up and started converting the <a href="http://lorenorrath.free.fr/timeline.php">http://lorenorrath.free.fr/timeline.php</a> timeline dates</span> Done!!</p><p>I was thinking we could do the dates in AN format and then when adding an event also post the link to the reference so people can look up each event to the actual lore</p><p>I need to invite to let people paste into it so I guess just respond here or something</p><p>Cheers!</p><p>Mixxit</p><p><img src="http://loreofnorrath.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/historyofnorrath.png" width="782" height="487" /></p>

<p>Since using this for a little while I believe the best way to organise the data would be to use the Icons to represent what each piece of information means</p><p>Here is what I think would work:</p><p>(Grey arrow is default if none set)</p><p><img src="http://loreofnorrath.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/index1.png" width="383" height="212" /></p><p>To make things simple I've set the timeline to focus on the start of EQ2 in the timeline,</p><p>I've inputted data as Grey arrow to start with, so they can be shuffled (this is mostly data from the timeline worked out at lorenorrath.free.fr)</p><p><strong>Contributors Notes</strong></p><ul><li>if you are contributing it's probably a good idea to set all dates to the 1st of the January</li><li>only use a Star Symbol if you can paste the exact confirmed date/time quote </li><li>leave the symbol grey arrow unless you are certain and can provide a links</li><li>all dates should be in AN format</li><li>always provide a link to the source of the information and as much of a 'snippit' of info on the event as possible</li></ul>

<p>But how can you construct a timeline when no actual dates of a universal calendar have ever been given for the great majority of events that have happened across the whole series? After all, every zone on every server for every character has a different time listed, so it's all different for everyone.</p><p>Don't get me wrong, I really do think this is a neat idea, but I can't help but ask and point out the most obvious problem.</p>

<p>you just add what we have with a quote and use grey for estimations</p>

<p>Keep in mind that there may be quite a difference in the current date from server to server -- as we discussed back in <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=495084" target="_blank">this thread</a>, a full century separated Crushbone and Antonia Bayle, if you just went by the ingame clock.</p>

<p>Added a bunch more from ZAM - yep isk looks right to me, some zam references are about 400 years off if you look a the iksar events there compared to the lorenorrath.free.fr</p><p>Will be easier to shuffle and move estimations once the whole picture is in place im sure </p>

<p>Does anyone know which year 0 B.T is or the the year of Luclin's explosion (5595 BT)?</p>

[Cusashorn]

All we can say for sure is that Luclin exploded 450 years after the current established calender of After Kerafyrm (The moment when he was woken up.)
