User blog comment:Stormwell/Timeline of Events/@comment-3525200-20140212091841

Just shifting this here for reference as I overhaul the timeline.

OK, looking at creating a timline of events mainly for a planned RP campaign but also figured other people might be interested in it. Going to be trawling the wiki for all the info listed, but input is welcomed.

Going with Before Death of the Empress (BD) and After Death of the Empress (AD) to denote when events take place, 'Year 0' is when Corvo returns to Dunwall and the Empress is killed.

34 Years BD:- Daud is born.

30+ Years BD:- The Hatters gang is formed.

18 Years BD:- Daud arrives in Dunwall.

13 Years BD:- Last proper maintanence done on Rudshore's flood barrier.

5-7 Years BD:- Plague rats are introduced into the slums of Dunwall.

4 Years BD:- The Rat Plague begins to spread like wildfire as the rats breed unchecked.

3 Years BD:- Rudshore's flood barrier burst due to poor maintanence and the District soon becomes flooded.

1 Year BD:- The Rat Plague has ravaged Dunwall with poor and sick falling afoul of it, research into the Plague has begun.

2 Months BD:- Plague has gotten worse, Empress Jasemine Kaldwin despatches Corvo to seek aid from the other cities of the Empire.

0 Days BD:- Corvo returns and Empress Kaldwin is assassinated. Corvo is charged with her death and is imprisoned at Coldridge Prison to await his execution.

6 Months AD:- With help from the Loyalists, Corvo escapes from Coldridge Prison.
