Raiders: Renaissance Timeline


The Raiders have been around a long time, but only within the past few years have we begun to really think about our roots. For this reason, we began digging around, unearthing memories of our earliest RPs and important events with the help of those who were there, dated drawings, and the four seasons.

...No, it was not an easy task.

The following timeline is divided first into years. Each year is divided into three parts: E (Early), M (Middle), and L (Late). The E range covers January through April, the M range covers May through August, and L from September to December. Certain major events will also be marked alongside major storylines and minor storylines will also be included. Dates are provided where available.
