START (dark): The Fall of the Zhorian Empire
END (light): The Treaty of Twelve Nations
The first thing I think when I read that is "Ebberon", Fall of the kingdom of Galifar - Treaty of the 5 nations.
Lets start it with a "birth"
Start (Dark): A centuries-old prophecy comes true.
End: (Light) Treaty of the twelve nations.
I've also considered: "Dark": New Technology/Powersource/Weapon Invented, tested and used.
And actually Eberron's history is an analogy to World War I and the Treaty of Versailles.
So something like "A thousand year civil war among the races of [Middle Earth]."
We did specify civil, actually. But I agree that maybe just a thousand-year war is better.
DM, maybe we should have a thread for the "cards"? You can lock it and update whenever.
Start: (Dark): Prophesied Child Born
End: (Light) Treaty of the twelve nations.
Right? I'm into it.
About the thread - what I'm going to do is open a thread - each post will represent a period. Within each period (post) we can have events/scenes. We can just use spoilers under events in a post, which will represent the scenes that we've played that belong to that event; or we could just post a link, because obviously to play them out we'll need a separate thread.
We can do this by giving mod rights to everyone in the game, so that you have no problem moving posts, editing posts, etc.
