Cataclysm

Post by Eli »

Is there an approximate date / season on the Cataclysm? I looked through the lore but didn't see it. Closest was that letter from Strider's man saying 1050 P.E.W. minus about six months so sometime in First Month 1050.

I'd assume that makes the current date +50 or 1059 PEW, but for some reason I though we added a few years between the cataclysm and the start of the FH game back in the day. And now despite having been there, I cannot actually recall how long FH has been going now either. I wanna say this is year 7 or 8.

Wayne says 2 years then 5 after the cataclysm. All lore points to FH starting 2 years after the cataclysm however.

It was originally planed as 5 years after.

So it would be 1062 P.E.W. ?
or would it be 12 P.C. ?
or maybe 3 P.B.S. ?




* P.E.W. (post essence war), P.C. (post cataclysm), P.B.S. (post burning skulls)

I admit I thought it was two and believe I have written things with that in mind so there may be some contradictions out there. The reason people are confused is because that cataclysm messed with people's minds...yeah, that's it.

Well, the cataclyms would have messed with time, so it could have been faster and slower in different places. So memories may not be accurate. I actually used that concept in at least one characters's write up.

I like the time messing thing. Breaking and un-breaking magic seems to me to mesh well with screwing up time. I also thought it was 5 years after cataclysm that we began FH and it's been 8 years since then (damn that went fast). I believe I'll go with time was wacky idea. Thx! Meow I just need to do some reading into the oldest lore books I own to determine a few other dates and as one of the two longest pc's turn in a history heh.

Well yes, the cataclysm was 50 years after CARPS, but there was time between cataclysm and FH first event, + 8 years of FH. Either way the time being screwy makes helps answer the question I had. :) except the exact date question, but I may not actually know that, and besides most players don't even know what PEW means so it'd be moot to have a date.

Post Essance Wars

One wannabe scholar is assuming FH was discovered 2 years after the cataclysm.

That proves you can read Tod's post... what were / are the essence wars that we need to keep dates post them?

Answer that and I'll give you one of Eli's cherished cookies!

I like the idea that the exact time of the Cataclysm is confused. It allows for plots that have centuries of backstory even though the world is 'young'.

abaddon claimed that the cataclysm happened on his 100th birthday. But he didn't think they were connected.

It's also likely been long enough since the cataclysm that as a beastman, Rhul should be dead of old age, or at least venerable, seeing as he was changed by the cataclysm itself.

Funny that.
