T.A - Years 2968 to 2970
- Ortellus Falheim is born
- Thainor Aldran is born
- Vaeron Ramsay is murdered by unknown agents
- Gondor threatens to send a small task force to invade if Karthmere does not swear fealty. Eodain Wintermoore refuses, therefore his populace revolt even more than before, and violence erupts in the streets. Vortrand Aldran is slain in the battle by Eodain Wintermoore, therefore Agravain kills the Eorl, Eodain, and leads the rebels to retake Wintermoore Keep. All members of House Wintermoore and House Ramsay are slain.
- Agravain Falheim takes up the title of Eorl, and before Gondor marches on Karthmere he pledges the small town to the King of Gondor. He then banishes the remaining Knights of Winterhelm and all of the people who supported House Ramsay and House Wintermoore, and renamed Wintermoore Keep to Redwatch Keep.
- Mercia Falheim dies of illness
- Agravain Falheim grants Illythia Aldran and Thainor Aldran high status for their long friendship and their loss of Vortrand Aldran
- Gondor never bothers them again as they have more important matters to attend to, leaving Karthmere to fend for itself
- A dozen villagers die from illnesses. Less than a hundred people remained living in Karthmere
- Those banished from Karthmere reformed the Blood Arbiters in the name of their fallen Eorl, Eodain Wintermoore, and begin to raid Karthmere's farmsteads
- A fishing docks and storehouse is built in Karthmere
- The Town Watch is formed to repel the Blood Arbiters, led by Davind Redweller, a former Knight of Winterhelm and loyalist of House Wintermoore. However, they were not enough and had to call on Gondorian reinforcements. And so a small cohort of soldiers came from Pelargir to defend the walls of Karthmere and Redwatch Keep in a series of bloody battles
- When the Pelargir reinforcements left, Eorl Agravain realised the Town Watch would not be enough, so he reached out to all noble families in the area and members of high standing in Karthmere and asked for their greatest warriors to join the Order of Redhall. Hoping that it wouldn't end up like the Knights of Winterhelm, he made them swear Five Tenets, calling them the Tenets of Redhall
T.A - Years 2980 to 2982
- Another assault on Karthmere by Davind Redweller is pushed back

- Agravain names Percival his heir to the Eorldom of Karthmere
- Without the neglect of Eodain Wintermoore, more Gondorian families flood Karthmere, filling the ranks of the Town Watch, the farmsteads and the empty houses. Karthmere reaches a time of prosperity.
T.A - 2983
- Civil unrest begins anew as agents of the Blood Arbiters infiltrate the town, spreading lies and hate and gathering together the poorest people and enlisting them in the Blood Arbiters
- The Redwatch Stockades begin to fill up with brigands and criminals
- Davind Redweller, with his new army of beggars and criminals, along with his already existing forces, travel around the Lossarnach, enlisting rebels and members of the Red Corsairs to form a small army named the "Black Tide", but still the Blood Arbiters.
- Sir Redweller launches the invasion of Karthmere. The Prison Warden betrays House Falheim and releases all of the prisoners from the Stockades, who then overrun the keep and kill most of the Honour Guards and Sworn Swords of House Aldran and House Falheim, and most of the Order of Redhall. Meanwhile, Karthmere below begins to crumble as it's inexperienced Town Watch is defeated. A good portion of the remaining knights and Town Watch remain behind to hold off the Blood Arbiters whilst the Eorl and his two sons take the peasants, women and children mostly, and some of the knights away from Karthmere and into the forests of Lossarnach
- On the way to Osgiliath, the remnants of the survivors of Karthmere are attacked by the Blood Arbiters once more, and the Eorl died in the battle, leaving Ortellus, Percival and Thainor in charge. Percival and Ortellus disagreed on where to go. Ortellus' party headed for Dol Amroth and Percival's party headed for Osgiliath. Thainor followed Ortellus
- Percival's group were slaughtered by a band of wargs and Blood Arbiters. In blind rage, Ortellus told his villagers to make their way to Dol Amroth alone, whilst he, despite Thainor's urge not to, led the remaining Knights of Redhall to seek vengeance on those who killed his family. However, the peasants never made it to Dol Amroth and were slaughtered by Red Corsairs
- The last Knights of Redhall called Ortellus a shame to the House of Falheim and the people of Karthmere, so he fled, and the Order of Redhall was no more.
- Davind Redweller became the "Eorl" of Karthmere, and renamed Redwatch Keep to Wintermoore Keep in his former Lord's name. He makes it his mission to hunt down Ortellus, Thainor and the remnants of those loyal to House Falheim and House Aldran
- Gauramar Redweller is born
T.A years 3000 to 3018
- Ortellus, now going as the Tarnished Ranger, fled the Blood Arbiters for years, never speaking to his kinsmen again though hearing of their deaths...
- Ortellus gave aid to Archet in the defence against the Blackwold Brigands
T.A 3018 Onwards
- Seeing there was still hope, Ortellus came out of hiding, renamed himself the Eorl of Karthmere, and gathers the few surviving members of the fallen Order of Redhall. Some joined him: Aeden Ithian, Valaric Redmare, Ulric Eastford and Thainor Aldran. Some didn't: Dethas Manswell, Aricus Davenport and Robert Startis. And the Order of Redhall was reforged.
- Davind Redweller rode forth to slay the reforged Order of Redhall but is slain by Ortellus Falheim. Unknown to the Knights of Redhall, Gauramar Redhall not only exists, but is proclaimed Eorl of Karthmere, and is rumoured to be a better leader than Davind ever was.
- Thinking the Blood Arbiters beaten, Ortellus Falheim leads the Order of Redhall southwards but is ambushed. They only just escaped with their lives.
- CURRENT TIME
