This is the ultimate compilation timeline for everything 4WSR; Colorfolk, Magic Underground, etc- its all here
1095: Prism comes to Earth, Faction is founded; Colormen are established
Approx 1098: First Colorwomen obtain the powers
1103-1108: Colormen hold off attempted invasions of Ordos from a series of attacks by a viking faction known as "The Warriors of Odin." Two attacks in 1109 and one in 1113 were the final attempts at a viking takeover of Ordos
1109: Masteri War; Seeking to prove their dominance, the Masteri declare war on the Colormen and arrogantly proclaim that their victory is guaranteed. Ill-conceived war results in faction being wiped out and golems becoming nearly nonexistent
1153-1155: War of the Dead. In retaliation for King of Ordos banning practice of Necromancy, Contritum Exolvuntur and the Order of the Gatebreakers, the two necromatic factions on Ordos, declare war on the people of Ordos. Both factions destroyed, their legacy cementing necromancy's place as one of The Four Taboos.
1202-1215: Orc War; the rise of fiercely anti-human tribal chiefs results in 4 of the 6 tribes declaring war on the humans. Anti-human orcs fall in battle, allied orcs safely evacuated off island. Colormen remember this war solemnly; while their role as defenders was fulfilled, they wonder if a different outcome could have been achieved
1216-1330: Colorfolk hold off numerous invasions of Ordos in the so called "age of invasions" from various outside forces seeking to destroy them, destroy Ordos, conquer Ordos, seize the pools of magic for their own gain, etc
1340: Colorfolk help the "monster" species evacuate from Ordos following occupation of the island by the English. Establishment of St. Arthur's Church. A small but steadily growing group of followers begin seeing their sworn protectors as evil.
1351: The Ordosians celebrate the Colormen as heroes for preventing the Black Death from coming to Ordos. Membership of St. Arthur's Church plummets immensely as the former congregation becomes appaled that the priests of the church would dare call their saviors "the villains"
1657: Prism shattered; Many Colorfolk defect and do their own thing, or simply become ambivalent. The "Blue Faction" become the only surviving Colorfolk to still see their duties as protectors be important. Unfortunately, membership of the faction is less than 200.
1659: First famine since 1095 strikes Ordos; many crops and animals die. Some of the non-magic folk begin questioning the preaching of the church, since the stories of their ancestors praised the Colormen's power "to protect from famine and pestilence"
1669: The Perception Filter, which has protected the Great Hall from invasion for almost 6 centuries, goes haywire in an incident no one understands. Blue faction salvages what they can and is forced to leave their ancestral home. The Blue faction splits once again as about 70% choose to stay on the island, in secrecy, while 30 percent sail for England. The smaller group is considered the "true" Blue Faction due to both Blues being a part of this one.
1702: A severe storm, believed to be as strong as a Category 4 hurricane, devastates Ordos. The coup de gace of the island, many of the Colorfolk lines, both corrupted and non-corrupted, are rendered "lost" in this storm. A storm surge destroys the St. Arthur's church which had stood since 1342. In the aftermath, many residents interpret the church's destruction to be divine punishment for "turning on their protectors and being deceived by a false God." Many residents exile themselves from the island, while others remain behind to rebuild.
