DCC #51 - Castle Whiterock - DM Questions [poss. spoilers]
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:28 pm
I thought I'd start a new Whiterock thread for DMs to post questions and seek help, with suitable warning for players to stay away!
I'll start things off with this: CW has two separate historical sections. The first covers the history of Morrain, and is in the Gazetteer. It mentions a few dates:
2675 BC - Sashrim allies with demon lord Obitu-que to become Harbinger King
2677 BC - Harbinger King's heralds first appear; 6 months later Vemn saves Jorem's family from shadow assassins; Jorem and his allies are transformed into statues in Hallowbrook
2689 BC - Company of the Tempest begins its ten-year absence from the Argent Vale (Morro is 21)
2699 BC - Surviving Company returns to Vale, confront the Harbinger King and defeat him
~2700 BC - Olland the Fey erects Tower of the Vatic Rune and disappears inside
~2710 BC - Gaelarra, Morro's wife, dies in uncertain circumstances; their child is ten years old
So far so good. Then, in book 1 of the dungeon itself, it presents the timeline of Castle Whiterock itself, in terms of years before the current date. However, no mention is made there that I can see of events in Morrain.
So the question I have is: what is the official current year in the DCC campign world?? If I have that, I can figure out where the Morrain history fits in with CW's history.
Thanks! (That sure was a lot of text to ask a simple question...!)
