21 December 0961	Nameless is born	21 December 0961	561 Minutes	Ruby	Ireland, birth, childhood,Nameless	Childhood
	Nameless is born in a small peat hut on the outskirts of a village, to a scared village woman, midwifed by a lesser faery. The woman is killed by Nameless's father afterwards, in a fit of rage when he can't find the baby or figure out whether it lived or died. He assumes it died from the sheer amount of blood. This is, of course, wrong; the midwife scattered blood from herself and the woman in the hopes of fooling him. Possibly this means the midwife is also Sluagh.
23 December 0961	Nameless is fostered	23 December 0961	0 Seconds	Ruby	Ireland, childhood,Nameless	Childhood
	The faery midwife fosters Nameless out to a woman who agrees to give up her voice in exchange for a child. She doesn't realize the burden she will be taking on; no one will have her now and she's kicked out of her village, but she's so desperate to have a child. And as Nameless grows, he will make her happy. She will teach him to sing, because apparently the restriction doesn't extend to "la la la". She makes them a small hut in the relative middle of nowhere to live in.
23 December 0961	Nameless grows up	23 December 0995	34 Years	Ruby	Ireland, childhood,Nameless	Childhood
	Nameless grows up learning to make a knife as well as use a steel one, to weave and spin and crudely sew, to build a fire and cook on it, to clean animals and kill them and also to raise them and feed them, how to tell what plants are edible and what aren't, some, how to care for people. The basics of life outside of the support of a village.
January 0993	Nameless encounters a woman	January 0993	0 Seconds	Ruby	Ireland, childhood,Nameless	Childhood
	Nameless encounters a woman and stays with her a good chunk of the fall, possibly while there's a battle or protecting the East Coast against Northmen raiders or something like that. Either way, her husband's away and he does heavy lifting for her, and other services he's too until her husband comes back and beats him with a burning log from the fire, chasing him from the village.
March 0996	Nameless's foster mother dies	March 0996	0 Seconds	Ruby	childhood, death,Nameless	Childhood
	Nameless takes care of her through a long winter illness and a short fever takes her at the end. He burns the hut down around her and leaves the bog forever.
17 April 1312	Nameless travels to Calais	17 April 1312	0 Seconds	Ruby	youth,France	Adulthood
	Travels on a ship, research types of ships and trade and how he would have traveled, how long it would have taken.
January 1335	Nameless meets Guy	January 1335	0 Seconds	Ruby	Guy,France	Adulthood
	Nameless meets Guy (then Yves) (possibly this requires a name change?) in a pub somewhere in this year, look up potentially primary sources if there are any, or food and drink and city life at around this time. No idea of starting sources, history of France around this time period?
September 1359	Nameless and/or Guy catch plague	September 1359	0 Seconds	Ruby	France, history,Guy	Adulthood
	Both Guy and Nameless catch plague, not sure what happens to Guy but Nameless ends up buried in a plague pit when he's left for dead, and possibly Guy has to dig him out. They both end up staggering out of the city. (The Black Death book in your Kindle library)
August 1372	Guy and Nameless on the Silk Road	June 1385	154 Months	Ruby	Guy,history	Adulthood
	I have no idea what's going on here, definitely needs more research before this section can go in, even if it's probably a small section. Guy's probably in absolute heaven though, having access to relatively inexpensive ingredients that can fall off the back of a wagon.
January 1754	Guy and Nameless return to France	January 1754	0 Seconds	Ruby	Guy,France	Adulthood
	Restlessness in both Guy and France pull them back to the French countryside, resulting in them being around for considerable events of history.
November 1799	Nameless and Guy move to the United States	November 1799	0 Seconds	Ruby	Guy, United States,history	Adulthood
	Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin, because at this point Guy needs to get away from France and probably from the opium which isn't a problem yet but it will be. Trace their route in the United States, history should be easier. They would also have been participating in the Civil War (Foner)
November 1864	Nameless takes a small cannonball to the chest	November 1864	0 Seconds	Ruby	Guy, war,United States	Adulthood
	Pretty much what it says on the tin. Research weapons for a specific type, entry/exit wounds. Recovery time can be made up considering normal people don't exactly recover from having half their chest caved in.
July 1883	Nameless gets gutted by his half-sister?	July 1883	0 Seconds	Ruby	fae crap,American West	Adulthood
	Nameless is patronizing a whorehouse/tavern somewhere in frontier area, Dakota territory ish longitude, when the whore he's patronizing reveals herself as Sluagh and guts him like a fish. Which leads to him taking her head pretty much clean off, but still will take a while to recover. Again. Second time in a century.
March 1890	Guy hauls Nameless to New Zealand	March 1890	0 Seconds	Ruby	New Zealand,Guy	Adulthood
	Research travel times, at this point Guy is fed up with revolutions and them being caught in the middle of them and them getting injured and is probably freaked out by how his friend almost died twice in (relatively) rapid succession. They end up buying a sheep farm in there and setting up pre-emptive heirs (themselves, obv).
February 1919	Nameless gets Spanish Flu	February 1919	0 Seconds	Ruby	Boston	Adulthood
	Well, he was *supposed* to originally be in Boston to trade for things and haul a couple crates of resources back and maybe set up their new identities, but then he got sick and ended up wishing he could die in a near-empty apartment in a block of tenement flats. Extra bonus points for Boston being one of the locations where the most virulent strain first appeared?
November 2013	Present Day New Zealand	November 2013	0 Seconds	Ruby	Guy, King Sluagh, fae crap,present day	Adulthood
	Sort of present day. While Nameless reminisces, his father has finally tracked him down and is prepared to make him an offer. Extra bonus points if this is the framing device for the entire story, come to think of it. Culminating in one giant fuck you what can you offer me that competes with that I've lived a full life without you, daddy, fuck off.
