Shadow Mountain (Timeline)

=== 1869 ===
* After the catastrophic event that occurred in 1859, the existence of mental illness becomes more and more apparent, and as such, plans for a mental hospital are drafted by the heads of the town's founding families, who have a common interest in the branches of study dealing with human ability (Darwinism, eugenics, genetics, and also the study of superhuman phenomena, like eternal youth and immortality). The asylum is actually their way of getting enough patients to experiment on. With the approval and backing from The State of MA (unaware of the families' true intentions), construction begins in The Town of Ebony within a high range of mountains.
=== 1879 ===
* Upon its completion, the building is named "The Shadow Mountain Asylum", due to its location being blocked from the sunlight by the pointed mountaintops. The 1st patients to be admitted are actually laborers who worked on Blackburn’s construction site. Most of them have become braindead due to inhaling so many chemicals and fumes in the air. One patient in particular, Shu-Tu Zhao (age 40), comes in trying to pull his teeth out with pliers. According to him, he wants to extract the teeth so he can shake the black powder out of them and then insert them back into his mouth (sort of like shaking sand out of a boot and putting it back on).Category:Timelines
