Cimmerian Timeline: Taking a Breather

Taking a breather you say?

I’m a little scatter-brained and need a post to outline what I’ll be doing next in the continued detailing of Cimmeria’s fictional history.

I’ve got about 100 years of history that needs additional description between 1040BCE and 940BCE.

Here are the events that I need to hit:

  1. Whatever I decide Shratalanda was doing before she started meddling in the lives of the heroes of the Dragon War.
  2. Additional details of the Resurrection Pact with Hades. Formation of Crux. Antenator and Vecna coming to Cimmeria. Founding of the Iron Bank of Lamentation. Vecna begins designing the Devastation Spell.
  3. More details on halflings leaving the Conclave
  4. Elves leaving the Conclave. Foundation of Shalemstead. Events of Restnor’s life.
  5. Dragons ruling over Cimmeria and giving everyone a bad time.
  6. Boring timeline entries about all the times Hades attacked Colchis and inserting Shratalanda into previous timeline entries.

A simple enough list with some things that probably aren’t even worth including in a post, looking at you #6.

But it’s a bit more than I want to do at the moment. I’ll get started on this and have something more concrete to post next week!

Hello,

I’m Isaac

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.

Setting the Stage Podcast

83 – Call of Cthulhu's Garden (Hem and The Sprouting) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Hem tells us about their actual play campaign, The Sprouting. Within the world of The Sprouting, Earth's history diverged during the 1800s when an eldritch horror was summoned into our reality. The horror lay in wait for centuries, building up a secret army of plant monsters. In 2020, the plant monsters struck, ruining infrastructure and attacking population centers across the world. One hundred years have passed and our heroes learn that the next stage of the plant apocalypse has begun…We also discussed some of the difficulties and pleasures of actual play podcasts and how the RPG community varies internationally (Hem is in Iceland).If you want to try listening to The Sprouting its available on all major podcast platforms. You can learn more on The Sprouting's website.For other shows produced by Hem check out Blighthouse Studio's website.Hem mentioned The Lucky Die actual play show of theirs several times which used D&D 5e.And the broader network of Fable and Folly has their website too.Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
