OLD TIMELINE
2316 AG - Evert travels from his hamlet to Dorflich. As a younger son, he does not have a future on the family farm, but has some talent in spiritualism. (Very meek). He is promptly scammed for all his money, gets into a fight with the local bullies (nobility), and only manages to survive his first week because he runs into Sam who takes pity on him. He joins Master Throm’s dojo and begins to study spiritualism, slowly growing. Later that year, Becca joins the dojo (having been kicked out of Master Wong’s). He also takes a side job as a __, and learns to read, becoming a voracious reader in later life. Vince is an older apprentice in the dojo, and largely does not interact with freshmen. Vince enters the tournaments, but loses in the first round of the City Tournament, breaking his vow and deciding to enter the next year as well.
2317 AG – Lennie is punished by City authorities for theft by forcing him to join Master Throm’s dojo. Vince gets brought into the circle of friends, and enters the City Tournament, finally placing in 4th.
A minor beast cycle is set to occur late October 2317. However, a month early (September 2317), it begins prematurely and is so strong that it outclasses almost every major previous cycle. Because of the timing, all outlying hamlets are destroyed with a 80% fatality rate. The City is heavily breached, and 15% of the population is wiped out. Evert and Co. struggle to survive, and rededicate themselves to training. Vince joins the City Guard, but keeps in touch.
2319 AG – Evert, Becca, Sam and Lennie (Vince too old) attempt to enter into the City Tournament, but fail to qualify through the local district tournaments.
