For now, only canons and high positions are mentioned, but other events including original characters will be added as the plot continues. Please use this history when creating bios, as it lists major battles, past leaders, and other important historical information. Try to make your character's history consistent with the cats and events listed here. To help with ease of reading, we have separated events by year and then by season. Within each season, major events, births, and deaths will be listed. As a general reference, I have decided to include an undated basic procession of high positions, going back a few generations before our events timeline starts.
