Historical Timeline - Donner Party

<H1> Campaign Historical Timeline </H1>
<P>
The Westmarch campaign has a complex history leading to its present
day condition. This document shows the timeline of major events
leading up to the present day.
</P>
<P>
Prior to mankind's presence in the Westmarch, the Elves lived alone and
have recorded history. Since then, history has been riddled with chaotic
events, thus the need for the "ages of mankind".
