Elven Historical Chronicle Project

Hey all you fancy roleplayers

I'm happy to announce that the Second Edition of the Elven Historical Chronicle is available, both OOC and IC!

The Chronicle is a comprehensive, In-Character accounting of elven history dating back all the way to the earliest known Kaldorei. The purpose of the Chronicle is to assemmble the various histories of the many different branches of elves, and knit them together in a way that helps to explain how the elves have come to the point they’re at.

It is a year-by-year account, much like the WoW Chronicle, but from an entirely in character elven perspective. It blends canon lore with the personal backstories of RP characters and their guilds, presenting a nice overlap which does wonders to illustrate how stunningly expansive and yet intertwined the RP community’s efforts have been over the years.

Elven Historical Chronicle

The Chronicle has been an invaluable tool for me and others thus far to see where community stories intersect, and to help generate foundations for new connections between characters and players. Those included thus far have been sitting down for IC interviews where their character’s stories are shared, and recorded, and then adopted into the Chronicle.

As the in person interviews can run for an average total of fifteen hours, we’ve begun shifting new interview subjects to the self-directed starting interview, and are tackling all follow ups as IC interviews in game.

It’s important to note that this isn’t, by any means, an attempt to enforce certain head-canons on people, but rather just a reference people can use if they’d like to. Since it’s an IC document, and available publicly in libraries/archives/bookstores in the world, anything that’s printed in it is fair game to reference.

If you’re looking to get in touch for any reason, please feel free to reach out via the discord contact below.

Enjoy!
