# Age of Arthur Timeline

In order to run a campaign, the first thing that is needed is a timeline. This then establishes what has happened, what is going to happen and what is happening elsewhere in the world. I have only just realised that I do not have a timeline for the Age of Arthur. This is not a major disadvantage as the library is full of books on Dark Age Britain and a timeline can be easily formed. To save people the effort, here is my timeline for the Age of Arthur campaign setting, heavily based on Age of Arthur by John Morris.
