Timeline of Events

Event	Timeline	Description
Impact of the Leonids	November 1833	In early winter of 1833, there was a low angle impact meteorite which hit what would later become Rotborough. The impact was speculated by surrounding towns and cities as the reason behind the many strange and bizarre phenomenon surrounding the town itself, but there has never been any conclusive evidence to support this assertion.
The Slaughter of Rotborough	April 1845	Oscar Duley, father of 3 for no discernible reason slaughtered his entire family and went missing in the spring of 1908. Police and forensic reports did not find a motive as those who knew Duley stated he was a loving and devoted father. Rumor spread of this sudden and unexplained murder and began to speculate either he or his wife had a secret life but no evidence has ever been found to support this. What also puzzled police is the day before the murders, locals in town recalled a strange mildew like smell coming off of Oscar. The smell made those around Oscar violently ill.
