RPing with Riven and with Reinhardt brought up the rather desperate need for this, heh heh. So just posting it up for anyone who’s been following along and making sure I have all my ducks in a row! XD
Current year:Â 1578
Reports of bandit and heretic attacks on supply caravans that support the Highland outposts. The attackers have very good information on the routes, even maps that outline guard positioning. Said maps when looked at, are extremely well-drawn and highly detailed. This has brought forth the rumor that a infamous Ishgardian heretic known as the ‘Mapmaker’ has returned…
================
1545 (33 years prior):
A series of maps start making their rounds among accused heretics and their families that are trying to escape Ishgard. These maps show escape routes over the country’s borders and old passages beneath the city. Â
1548 (30 years prior)
A Dravanian attack on Falcon’s Nest that took the life of a notable number of Ishgardian defenders and at least three dragoons thrusts the Mapmaker into the spotlight. A extremely detailed map of Falcon Nest’s defenses is found and credited to the Mapmaker.
1550-1552
In this time period, maps credited to the Mapmaker are found on heretics/among their belongings in several raids/attacks. Given the level of inside information that has been given out, the Holy See begins to suspect the Mapmaker is a traitor inside of Ishgard. Â
1553-1560
The Mapmaker seemingly disappears. With none of his work showing up, the See believes he/she has been killed among a general raid.
1561
Maps credited to the Mapmaker start to appear once more.Â
1568
The Holy See names a suspect they believe to be the Mapmaker-an Alberic Draper (formerly Beauregard). Draper is a hyur priest of low rank in the See. The accusation destroys the lives of the Beauregard family-newly risen to Ishgard’s middle class as merchants. However there is no proof to the See’s claim. Draper goes into self-exile into the Coerthas Western Highlands. Maps credited to the Mapmaker continue to be used by the Dravinians.
1570
Alberic Draper mysteriously vanishes. Within several months of his disappearance, maps credited to the Mapmaker disappear as well, and no new ones are ever found.
1573
The Calamity
1575
A master plan of Ishgard’s waterways is found among the personal effects of a dead priest.  The artistic style is credited to the Mapmaker.  This gives rise to a rumor of a ‘master map’ of Ishgard.
1578
Reinhardt Beauregard, nephew of Alberic Draper, is questioned by the Inquisition due to the resurfacing of the Mapmaker.  Reinhardt had just begun dragoon training, and was notably at two of the locations that were featured on the maps.  This leads to him nearly being expelled from training, but a dragoon of House Fortemps steps in and takes Reinhardt as his squire. Riven Astralyas arrives in Ishgard.
