I just got my copy of the Red Brick ED books in the mail today. In their "How it Came to Pass" history section they have a handy-dandy timeline with dates.
The first signs of the Horrors were the Invae Burnings in 100 TH The first "true" Horrors appeared in 700 TH Throal seals its gates in 1050 TH (which is actually among the latest kaers to close) Alright for this discussion Invae = Bug Spirit and Horror = Shadow spirit (which exhibit much of the same powers and mindsets) Bugs showed up in 2050 I believe. Lets say that Shadow spirits didn't show up until 2070. 700x = 20 x = 1/35 So for the jump from Horror's appearence to sealing of kaers we have: (1050-700) x (1/35) = 10 years So at the current pace of magic growth the Scourge starts in 2080. Discuss. |
