This is a loose Microscope game. The Timeline is divided into [PERIOD]s: bookend points of history that mark the beginning and end of a certain timeframe, one happy (yellow) and one tragic (violet). All new [PERIOD]s must fit within the first and last point of the Timeline. [EVENT]s are broad descriptions of things that happened within a certain [PERIOD]. [SCENE]s are hyper-focused narratives or stories that happened within an [EVENT].
New articles may be posted as a new [PERIOD], or an [EVENT] or [SCENE] that references an existing [PERIOD].
Articles which don't fit within the Timeline structure are more than welcome, and will be linked separately as descriptive flavor for the world.
