NOTE! Some entries here are more Game Master stuff, so players, consult your GM before reading forward.
This another "little project" that I just wanted to start. I'll try to update this online timeline as official changes appear (from RPG sourcebooks, WFB books or GW site). Some things from the novels are added also (mostly those I have read) and then there are some fan works also. Also you should remember that his is my vision of timeline. Other sources (ancient White Dwarf issues) may put certain events on different years. I base many things in my timeline (Great Fog Riots, Beast Murders, Siege of Praag...etc.) to my Gotrek & Felix Timeline (can be found from other section of my site). Another source that I also use is Warhammer Companion (WFRP1 version) information. In there Drachenfels -novel happens (mostly) in 2505.
Check Notes below, for more information.

0) Warhammer Fantasy Battle:Empire -book states that challenge for Supreme Patriarch is held for every eight years. But in both WFRP1 and WFRP2 Realms of Sorcery it is only seven years. I'll go for seven years. In RoS1 it is stated that the current years is last year for Thyrus Gormann to held the office (and then we have the duel again). Well, if RoS1 happens in 2512, then the duel is 2513. From there we can count the Duel years: ...2499, 2506, 2513, 2520, 2527, 2534...
1) I think I founded this information from the Warhammer Net -site. That Emperor Matthias went missing. NOW, there is also another Emperor Matthias (Holswig-Schliestein) that went missing in the Altdorf Fog (Beast in Velvet). So, I don't know about this information. Might actually be same person, or both just went missing during their reign? Also note that Dieter, who became Emperor after Matthias is mentioned to be son of Anton von Krieglitz (who was also Emperor, probably before Matthias).
2) Years are not given to these events, just "about" time. Example: Little over one hundred years ago, or fifty years ago, or century ago...etc. I decided to give exact year.
3) This information is from Warpstone: Cult of Sigmar by N. Arne Dam and Tim Eccles.
4) In WFRP1 it was actually Dieter IV that these illusionists robbed, but Emperor Wilhelm works better.
5) This information I actually found from Wikipedia: Reiksguard. It said that they were created during the reign of Emperor Wilhelm III. Again year is just my guess.
6) It seems that Louen Leoncoeur is almoust 90 years old?!? Little Grail power there. Well, this birth-year is my guess again. Oh, and why Leon de la Tete D'Or? In WFRP1 time (before changes made by GW) king of Bretonnia was not Louen, but Charles de la Tete D'Or. Now, if Leon would actually be de la Tete D'Or in birth name (and Louen Leoncoeur is more calling name) it would actually suit better for older documents, some novels...etc. Just idea.
7) There are no official ruling years given in any source for Holswig-Schliestein emperors between Wilhelm II/III and Karl Franz. I just needed the years in my game once and created these. Use them if you like. But there are few ideas. Example: In Red Thirst story Great Enchanter Drachenfels has just been defeated and the Emperor is Luitpold currently.
8) In WFRP1 (RoS1) Magister Patriarch of the Order of Shyish is Günther Klaus who has been High Amethyst for the last thirty years in 2512. But in WFRP2 (RoS2) it is Viggo Hexensohn who has been in that position about sixty years in 2522! I'll go for the new one - Hexensohn. Sorry Klaus.
9) In Drachenfels -novel it is mentioned that Detlef Sierck had been four years old when Drachenfels was defeated (2480) by Oswald and his band.
10) Actually in the Beast in Velvet -novel it is stated that Leos is 9 years younger than Emmanuelle. But this really doesn't work in any timeline. Let's make him just two years younger.
11) I base this year to the information in ToS, where current Ulricsson haven't spoken for over thirty years. Maybe he ended speaking after becoming Ulricsson?
12) In Drachenfels -novel it is stated that Luitpold, son of Karl Franz I, is 12-years old. And this is when the play happens (2505). So, in my Timeline this is his birth-year and that would make Karl Franz 16 year old dad (which works).
13) This idea is based on the information found originally from The Citadel Journal: Norsca. It is part of my Norsca Project.
