Global Timeline

== Intro ==
Welcome to the collaborative global timeline. The purpose of this page is to chronicle the in-game histories of the world's nations.
Note: This page is in the process of being converted from a google doc, its entries remain far from complete but most of the major events in Delthoria's history have been logged.
Below are the guidelines for adding events to the timeline. As you will notice, each entry is preceded by a location and category. This timeline is used to track world history, therefore it is important to distinguish events based on their location. An example would be W. Minor Conflict, this is used to denote a minor conflict that happened on the western continent. 
As a general rule of thumb, please keep entries limited to no more than a paragraph, this timeline is designed to summarize the entire history of the world. Regarding links, it is a good idea to link to an event or nation the first time it appears on the timeline, if the subject has a page.
Preceding Letters - Used to mark where the event happened:
W. - Western Continent
M. - Mediterranean Islands
E. - Eastern Continent
World. - Multiple continents / whole world
Entry Categories - Mark the type of event:
LORE - General noteworthy lore events.  Examples include treaties, internal issues, diplomatic interactions, or general tidbits.
MAJOR / MINOR CONFLICT - Used to mark wars, raids, or skirmishes. A major conflict is defined as any war larger than a 1v1.
EXPANSION / FORMATION - Used to mark any notable expansions, the founding of cities, or the formation of a new nation/union.  Members joining a union count as an expansion.
META - Notable events which occurred on the server.  An example would be the fork to Two Worlds.
