Abridged Torg Timeline

Return to Torg Eternity

The Torg Eternity sourcebooks give us a detailed timeline of every cosm-specific major event
to happen in the Possibility Wars. So much so that it can be a bit overwhelming. This list is
intentionally abridged to just the key events, curated by my judgment.

Anything marked in blue is a huge event that changes the setting as a whole — sometimes
even the game mechanics of the RPG. Be sure not to overlook them.

Day 1

• Core Earth: The Possibility Wars begin, with the first maelstrom bridge landing in Citi
Field, NYC. All High Lords consolidate territory via different methods.
• Pan-Pacifica: The Contagion appears in China, Japan, and South Korea (at first).
• Tharkold: President Volkov nukes the Moscow bridge.

Day 2

• Tharkold: The Blasted Lands form in Russia. Mutants appear soon after. Tharkold drops
a replacement maelstrom bridge in Moscow.

Day 4

• Nile Empire: Most Egyptians have converted to Amaatism thanks to Mobius' mind
control waves.
• Tharkold: Volkov signs a peace treaty with Kranod and becomes a Tharkold Duke.

Day 6

• Aysle: Lurks destroy Parliament in England.

• Cyberpapacy: With all demons slain, Cyberpope Malraux prepares to leave but political
leaders plead for him to stay.

Day 7

Uthorion's possesion.

• Nile Empire: Israel stalemates Mobius, who signs a non-aggression pact.

countries help against the Contagion. North Korea accepts; others refuse at first.
Day 12

• Orrorsh: The trickle of Victorian emigrants becomes a mass migration.

• Tharkold: Voronezh established as new capital of Russia.

there.

community outreach attempts.

zones and killing millions. From this point forward, refilling Possibility Energy in a
zone (anywhere) requires three Glory events.

Day 241

• Orrorsh: The Gaunt Man's Hellion Court decides to focus on taking out individual
Storm Knights rather than on eliminating the Delphi Council as a whole.

a huge threat in Taiwan) but their spread is heavily limited thanks to widespread
vaccination.

Day 315

• Pan-Pacifica: Delphi Council reveals proof that east Asia has been invaded. (For details
see Relics of Power Redux, p. 27.) The only nations who don't believe it are the Pan-
Pacific Alliance members, who dismiss it as propaganda.

Day 323

• Core Earth: The Abnormal, a kaiju-like Infected collective, attacks Sydney, Australia.
Delphi Council HQ there severely damaged. (At the same time, several Eternity Shards
are stolen from the DC's Shard Storage Beta, but this is not realized until over a
month later.)

Day 333

• Pan-Pacifica: In the wake of the Abnormal attack, Pan-Pacifica quietly invades Sydney.

Orrorsh in his absence.
