GreenBat Tutorial Workshop Task #2 Part A

Workshop Task #2 Part A

Constructing a Timeline:
     Since I am writing sci-fi in our own universe with reality as a basis I will not be starting at the beginning of time, just where this timeline diverts from reality.

2087 +70 yrs       Weapons development begins creating a non-nuclear warhead called a Displacer. The Displacer burrows under the ground and explodes with such great force everything on the surface pushes up and away completely altering the landscape.

2099 +12 yrs      New arms race begins as Displacer technology advances to a capability of disrupting the entire state of Connecticut with one warhead.

2118 +19yrs      Large scale war breaks out after petty fighting in smaller countries brings allied superpowers into conflict. Displacers now theoretically powerful enough to take out half of Australia though only a few of that magnitude exist.

2121 January 03 +3 yrs      First Displacer used at the battle of Luxor destroying the city and diverting the Nile to the Red Sea. 2 million die.

2121 May 27 0546 Zulu      Fire sale hack strikes Azerbaijan military control system and launched their entire arsenal at the world's superpowers whose automated responses fired all displacers worldwide.
2121 May 27 0634      The entire surface of the earth destroyed. 11 billion dead. Dust blocked out the sun. Survivors huddled in bomb shelters deep in the earth as their tunnels to the surface were buried. Estimated survivors- 18,000 worldwide.

2122 December 03      First shelter drilled its way to the surface and people once again set foot on the changed landscape. A new age began those few who recorded it noted they began counting time anew at the start of the next year. Survivors- 15,367

0 SD(Survived Displacers) January 01 0001      Saint Perseverance Moses Priest is the first child born on the new surface. 2 more shelters surface. People dig up supplies and tools from whatever was closest to the surface.

25 SD      7 Shelters converged at one place and form the Town of Providence. Saint Priest voted as mayor.

41 SD      Saint Priest convinced Providence to adopt Christian theocracy and ruled as Bishop. Expeditions were sent to map the new world.

54 SD      Saint Priest dies and is entombed. Pop. ~30,000 world wide

     Dissatisfaction with the following Bishops cause mass exodus from Providence. Settlements spread across the continent, and other surviving shelters were discovered. Over the next century as populations grew, violent crime became more common. Roving bands of brigands attacked small settlements and travelers. Anyone with a group of loyal followers could establish their own little kingdom, and law could only be enforced as far as one had power to do so.

376 June 03      Seven large clans form the Provius to standardize law across the known continents. The Provius were wandering judges who dispensed justice based on a simple law and resolved disputes in areas without law. This movement along with as strong church presence stunted civil organization as the judges provided enough protection to keep people from needing to form larger governments. Local rulers left the judicial and criminal legislation up to the Provius and only employed enforcers to detain people for the Provius to make a judgment.

500      On the 500th anniversary of the rise from the shelters the Provius met together and formed a council to better judge the lands of the continent. Few Provius had gone west over the mountains, so at the first council the Bladesmiths volunteered to move the entire family over the mountain.

543 May 20      Code of Diligence accepted by Bladesmith Family- Diligence Bladesmith Daughter of Jonathan Bowman created the code after the Provius expansion into the western part of the continent occurred. Pop. ~100 million.

704      Bladesmiths assist with forming the Council of Prosperity to govern all of Prosperity Valley in the western part of the continent.

1141      Night of Mourning. Uman Crusaders invade Prosperity Valley. Multi pronged attack. Missiles fired on skyscrapers, viruses sent through computer systems infecting bionic limbs, automated droids, and AI infused robots causing everything to go berserk. 1.2 million dead. This event started a war that continued for generations.

1224 June 4      Bravery Henry Bladesmith (protagonist) is born to Sir Diligent Wallace Bladesmith and Kendra Li Bladesmith(Lorisson) as the fifth generation in the war.

1229 August 26      Bravery's parents killed in an attack and Bravery forced into EBTAP at age 5.
