# Hero Wars Time Line

This is a brief Time Line of the Hero Wars. It is taken from King of Sartar and the Gloranthan Encyclopaedia in the most part. I have tried to include those events that affect the Hero Wars. Where dates differ, I have taken the King of Sartar dates. This is no way complete and may well be inaccurate, but it is a fairly good guide to the Hero Wars Time Line. A long-running campaign will be able to use this to provide some sort of continuity and perhaps allow the PCs to interact with the events, fighting in the battles or meeting the Heroes.

Where an event has taken place without dates specified, I have not included the event apart from the slaying of Cragspider and the Red Tides as both are fairly important events.

Other people have produced Time Lines and Histories that are a lot detailed than mine. I will include links to their sites at a later date.
