+==== Timeline ====
+  * II:25, Jan 28: [[Nakam Alkat]]'s tomb near the [[heaven spire]] is opened by the elves.  The mage kills all the elves that witnessed him and flys to his castle.
+  * II:87, Sep 16: [[Nakam Alkat]] begins creating the Demonwraith medallions and sceptres.
+  * II:93, Jan  3: In an evil ceremony, the mage declares his presence and creates (with the help of [[Hades]]) the 12 Demonwraiths.
+  * II:131, May  1: [[Nakam Alkat]] is defeated and is forced into dormancy.  His master medallion is destroyed, which in turn destroys the 12 slave medallions, stunning the Demonwraiths.  Seven are killed outright in battle.  One (#5) was carefully imprisoned and the remaining four fled to [[Nakam Alkat]]'s castle.  There they remained for over fifteen years.
+  * II:146, Sep 25: The four remaining Demonwraiths (#2, 7, 8, and 11) attempt to regain some of their lost power by sacrificing the king of the [[spire kingdom]]. They fail and are imprisoned as thoroughly as was #5.
+At this point, the Demonwraiths are split into two groups: The five and the seven.  The
+five consist of #5 and the four imprisoned in 146.  These five had powerful
+magics used against them which would prevent their escape.  The remaining seven,
+however, were killed in a "normal" fashion and could be released with little
+effort.  The fact that they remained in this state until the year 1656 was
+amazing indeed.
+  * II:1656, Apr  2: A vain and power-hungry wizard, after much research, uncovers one of the Demonwraith sceptres and successfully summons #4.
+  * II:1656, Sep  7: Demonwraith #4, fully recovered from his imprisonment, kills the wizard who released him and begins locating the remaining sceptres.
+  * II:1660, May 14: Demonwraith #4 successfully frees the last of the seven.  The seven then begin the much more difficult task of reviving their master.
+  * II:1719, Dec 13: [[Nakam Alkat]] is released from his tomb when the master sceptre is uncovered.
+  * II:1749, Aug 17: [[Nakam Alkat]] uncovers the last of the remaining sceptres, though is still unable to revive the five imprisoned Demonwraiths.
+  * II:1775, Jul 24: With the aid of the [[evil_trio|evil trio of might]], [[Nakam Alkat]] and the seven succeed in a series of lightning-swift raids on the five tombs. The five are released and the Demonwraiths are back in full strength.
+  * II:1784, Dec 14: After a long, careful study of the world, its strengths and weaknesses, [[Nakam Alkat]], the 12 Demonwraiths, and their newly-amassed armies begin the Second World War.
+  * II:1883, Dec 16: After nearly a hundred years of war, [[Nakam Alkat]] has almost succeeded in his conquest when five of his Demonwraiths were defeated and their sceptres taken.
+  * II:1885, Jun  4: Demonwraith #6 attempts to revive two of the imprisoned five.  He fails and is imprisoned himself.
+  * II:1885, Oct 10: In another great defeat, all but one of the remaining Demonwraiths are defeated.  Only [[Nakam Alkat]] and #2 remain.
+  * II:1886, Sep 21: The master sceptre is stolen and #2 is forced into dormancy. [[Nakam Alkat]] begins losing his wars.
+  * II:1898, Mar 29: Fearing he will lose his war, [[Nakam Alkat]] makes a pact with the one-eye to use orc troops.  The "orc fire" begins.
+  * II:1906, Jun  2: All but the [[spire kingdom]] have fallen to [[Nakam Alkat]] and the orcs.
+  * II:1912, Oct 20: Using the power of the [[heaven spire]], the orcs are driven back from the [[spire kingdom]] (temporarily).
+  * II:1919, Mar 12: [[Qôc Ranaî]] inherits the title of one-eye, the [[gem of Gruumsh]], and the sagging orc-fire armies.
+  * II:1929, Feb 19: As the orc-fire has lost much of its power, [[Nakam Alkat]] refuses his promises to the orcs.  [[Qôc Ranaî]] violently opposes this and is quickly killed.  [[Gruumsh]] is angered and appears.  [[Nakam Alkat]] "defeats" him (with the aid of [[Hades]]) and [[Gruumsh]] smites his castle with a meteor.  The end of the Second Age.
+  * III:1092, Mar 13: Demonwraith #5 is awakened by [[Karelia]] and [[Rana]].
