The Caribbean League is a loose confederation of island countries off the coast of Central America.
History[]
- 2010 - Four million (one-third of the population) dies to VITAS. Mostly children under the age of 17.[3]
- 2011 - When UGE hits, with the low population of infants, they're just happy to have children at all.[3]
- 2014 - Fidel Castro steps down and the Cuban government collapses. The Mafia takes over Cuba in the chaos. Lady Guadalupe Martinez starts a new revolution with Neo-Communist ideals and takes control of Cuba from the Mafia in a surprisingly bloodless revolution.
- 2022 - the Caribbean League is founded to prevent corporate control of the islands. [4][3]
- 2032 - Puerto Rico secedes from the United States and joins the Caribbean League. It is also renamed Borinquen.[3]
- 2034, Dec - South Florida joins the league.[5]
- 2046 - Lady Guadalupe steps down as President of the Caribbean League and gives control to her son Enrique Martinez.
- 2057 - UCAS President Dunkelzahn leaves a years' worth of dragon talon clippings to the current head Houngan of the Caribbean League.
- 2058, Oct 15 - Nadja Daviar gives the Caribbean League until December 31, 2060, to decide who the head Houngan is to gain Dunkelzahn's bequest.[3]
- 2060 - There is no clear head Houngan, but it becomes down to two candidates.
- 2061 - The arrival of shedim causes "a bit of an uproar".[6]
- 2063 - The Draco Foundation declares Justin Rochefort the winner and head Houngan. Before he could claim the talons his plane crashes in the CAS. Marcus Cross is appointed as his successor but is later arrested in Houston on charges of necromancy.[3]

- 2072 - Marcus Cross is declared the leader of the Voice of Ogoun. The Draco Foundation sends the talons from Dunkelzahn's bequest, which were subsequently lost at sea during a freak (and possibly magically induced) storm.[3]
