I am preparing to run the RuneQuest Quickstart, and is trying to straighten out the events that the PCs have participated in. So far I have this chronology. I have tried to include only the events mentioned in the PC backgrounds, only adding things to make things clearer. Some things I wonder about, and thought I'd put it to the forum and see what people think!
(For those who do not have the QS, Vasana, Yanioth, Sorala and Harmast are four of the QS PCs, and the ones I am going to use.)

The current year is 1625, after the dragonrise and Kallyr’s crowning as Prince of Sartar.
Three years ago (1622), Samastina of the Old Earth rebelled againt the her aunt, the Queen of Esrolia, Hendira of the Red Earth Alliance, who was allied to the Lunar Empire. Samastina was crowned Queen with Ernalda’s bleessings. [Sorala supports Samastina through the rebellion]
Two years ago, King Broyan of Whitewall allied with Queen Samastina, and Vasana and Yanioth [and Harmast?] follows him to Nochet.
The Lunars send an army to Nochet to defeat the rebellion, but could not break the city nor stop it from restocking through it’s port, so they lay siege to the city instead. [Are King Broyan besieged with the Old Earth alliance people in Nochet?]
Last year [? 1624], Argrath White Bull returned with the Wolf Pirate fleet of Harrek the Berserk. Broyan and Samastina allies with him, and with their help they break the Lunar siege at the Battle of Pennel Ford. [Did Harmast join the others only now? Regardless, he returns home after the battle.]
Argrath and Queen Samastina [accompanied by Sorala, Vasana and Yanioth] journeys to the Paps in Prax, where they summon the old Praxian hero Jaldon Goldentooth. Samastina returns to Esrolia after this, but Argrath and Jaldon raise a huge nomad army that sweeps aside the Lunar army of prax, and then proceed to capture the city of Pavis. Argrath is proclaimed King of Pavis. [Vasana is badly injured, and returns home to Sartar with her sister. They are accompanied by Sorala, who has now become good friends with them.]
In Earth season of 1625, the Lunars prepared for the Great Transformation of Dragon Pass with the sanctification of the new Temple of the Reaching Moon. But the ritual and the temple was destroyed by the appearance of an unknown True Dragon! This event is now called the Dragonrise. The dragon ate most of the Lunar provincial leadership, most of their elite troops and large parts of their local supporters. Some say that Argrath used lost Dragon Friendship magic to call it. [Harmast witnesses the Dragonrise]
After the Dragonrise, Sartar and Dragon Pass in thrown into Turmoil. Kallyr Starbrown gathers the tribes of Sartar and marches to fight the remaining Lunar leadership under the King of Tarsh, and wins! [Harmast fights with Kallyr]
With Sartar freed, Kallyr Starbrow was proclaimed Prince of Sartar, in accordance with the old ways! [Did she light the Flame of Sartar?]
