Timeline of "At Legion's End"

The timeline of the World of Warcraft forum Roleplaying thread "At Legion's End". Concept created by Zillen, US-Bloodscalp.

0 AC: The Second Sundering of Azeroth. Deathwing's escape from Deepholm shatters the world, leaving the nations shocked and angry and the entire planet scarred.

3 AC: Deathwing is defeated, along with Sintharia, his corrupted mate. The fortress of Grim Batol is utterly destroyed, with all traces of Neltharion's madness erased. The Earthen Ring dedicates itself to the healing of Azeroth, and the nation's form a temporary truce to aid in the restoration of their homelands.

10 AC: The Post-Cataclysm Truce is bitterly torn apart at the hands of the Alliance and the Horde. Warchief Hellscream's sudden, violent attack on the Eastern Kingdoms sets the old hatreds alight, sparking a declaration of war from the Alliance. The two factions send their armies against each other with all their might, with most neutral groups such as the Earthen Ring, the Kirin'tor and the Cenarion Circle refusing to participate in the conflict.

15 AC: The Great War screeches to an unforeseen halt with the Forsaken's long-expected betrayal. With all of their most secret and horrific plans revealed to all the world, the Banshee Queen Windrunner unleashed her hidden undead armies upon the denizens of Azeroth, leading to the reforging of the Post-Cataclysm Truce in a bid to rid the planet of the Forsaken.

18 AC: The armies of the Truce finally gain control of the south Eastern Kingdoms, forcing the undead military back into the north and Lordaeron. The Earthen Ring and Cenarion Circle gladly resume their aid of the factions, desperate to restore balance to nature.

23 AC: The Armies deal a massive blow to Sylvanas' forces, purging nearly all of the Forsaken from the lands outside Lordaeron. The vengeful mortal races prepare to take these final territories and put an end to the undead threat forever.

25 AC: After a brutal 2 years the war is finally ended, with the Siege of Tirisfal complete. Sylvanas Windrunner is tried before the major powers of the world, including Azlexstrasza, King Wrynn, Warchief Hellscream and the Kirin Tor. She is found guilty by all, and swiftly executed, her body bound and set aflame, the writhing, tainted ashes sealed away and buried alongside her ancestors in Quel'thalas.

26 AC: Warchief Hellscream is forcibly removed from office, imprisoned for his murderous, blinded attack against the Alliance 16 years previously. Baine Bloodhoof, son of Cairne, is named as the new Warchief of the Horde, a momentous occasion praised by all the faction's citizens. This event is heralded by the relative ending of hostilities with the Alliance, with a great meeting between the two empire's rulers leading to the beginning of trade and negotiation.

46 AC: 20 years after the end of the Great War, the citizens of Azeroth have prepared for their greatest challenge. Marching forth from their homes and cities, the United Armies set out to destroy the threat of the Old Gods, scouring the lands and the ancient texts to find the last sanctuaries of their foes. The first Old God to fall is the malefic N'zoth.

50 AC: The last of the Old Gods, the Emerald Nightmare, is finally, utterly killed. A new age dawns upon Azeroth, and its denizens prepare for their final battle-the destruction of the Burning Legion.

60 AC: After ten years of preparation, the United Armies set out from their homeworld, the greatest of their spell-casters working together to transport Azeroth's military into the Beyond. The armies storm one of the outer worlds of the Legion, marking a great milestone for the forces of good.

75 AC: With the Naaru having joined the cause, the United Armies have reclaimed nearly all of the Legion's worlds, with only a handful of resilient, contaminated planets remaining.

80 AC: Argus is the only of the Legion's worlds left, the final bastion of the Dark Titan Sargeras. As both sides prepare for the final confrontation, a mysterious proclamation echoes forth from beyond the stars. Its origin is unknown, and its message is brief, but its meaning is clear to all. The Last Victory of Azeroth is nearly at hand.

The Coming of Legion's End. It is in the year 81 PC that the story begins.
