The Historical Records of Azeroth

This page is a comprehensive list of all major events run on Chronicles, as well as custom events that have been added to the history of Chronicles through natural roleplay or inserted in the past for plot in regards to custom campaigns run by Dungeon Masters.

While this list includes all lore-relevant bullet points for each expansion, it is subject to change as we alter and adjust the history and future of our world.

This timeline is designed as a place for recording custom major plots that change the course of history or leave a heavy mark on the world of Azeroth and beyond. **These additional bullet points must be marked in Bold to establish them as custom plotlines that people should note.** They will be hyperlinks leading to event pages explaining the event in question for players to review.

Please use the following Timeline Event Template when creating an Event Page to link to the Timeline.

*Currently, to avoid clogging up the Timeline, only Chronicles Team Members can edit the Timeline or add custom plot links. If you believe one is missing, please Contact Game Masters on the Forums to request it be added.*

Mawsworn kyrian kidnap Anduin Wrynn, Jaina Proudmoore, Thrall, and Baine Bloodhoof and bring them to the Maw. Without the Lich King's control, the Scourge begin to rampage across Azeroth.
	+ Tyrande Whisperwind kills Nathanos Blightcaller at the Marris Stead.
* Adventurers and the Knights of the Ebon Blade enter the Maw to rescue the kidnapped leaders. The adventurers escape the Jailer by activating a First One waystone to Oribos, becoming Maw Walkers.
* The Maw Walkers follow their only lead—the Mawsworn kyrian—to Bastion, where in the process of trying to get an audience with the Archon, they discover a conspiracy by the rebel Forsworn. The House of Constructs and House of Rituals invade Bastion.
* The Maw Walkers travel to Maldraxxus to discover the cause of the invasion and ally with Baroness Draka and other necrolords still loyal to the missing Primus. They assemble the Blade of the Primus and open the Seat of the Primus, where they discover a message left by its former occupant stating that the Eternal Ones have to work together to prevent the Jailer from escaping the Maw and reaching "the sepulcher".
* The Maw Walkers travel to Ardenweald to deliver the warning to the Winter Queen. They battle an invasion from the Drust and bond with the wildseed of the dead Ysera before gaining an audience with the Winter Queen, who resurrects Ysera and informs the Maw Walkers that Ardenweald is in dire need of anima. She sends them to Revendreth to ask Sire Denathrius for help.
* In Revendreth, the Maw Walkers discover that Denathrius is responsible for the anima drought. They ally with the Sinfall rebellion and rescue its leader—Denathrius' son Prince Renathal—from the Maw and save some of his allies from Torghast, Tower of the Damned. The rebels confront Denathrius, but he defeats them and releases his anima stores into the Maw, causing it to grow dramatically.

	+ The nathrezim openly return to the Shadowlands and steal Remornia, with Denathrius' essence in it.
	+ The Winter Queen reconciles with her sister Elune. Tyrande Whisperwind's Night Warrior powers, which had threatened to kill her, are stabilized.
* Sanctum of Domination: The Jailer expands the Maw to envelop Oribos and claims the Arbiter's sigil, the last one he needs. Sylvanas turns against him and the Jailer restores a missing fragment of her soul before discarding her and escaping with Anduin through a portal to the Sepulcher.
