California Timeline of Events

After the Great Decay, events and news could no longer move across the world. This specific timeline recounts events that occurred in the region that was once California. For the purposes of readers, time will be noted in the standard "After Death" or "AD" notation, but it should be noted that characters in universe use a time system known as "Post Decay" or "PD" for short, which will also be used.

The Dark Days
The Dark Days cover a time period during and directly after the Great Decay, their name stemming from the black, irradiated clouds which often blanketed the sky, and due to the extremely violent and chaotic nature of the time period.
