Core Genesis Project Theory III Developed by Zak “Lord Cyclohexane” Gillman Compiled by Matt “Strahdsbuddy” Doyle This version of the Core Genesis project looks at the theories put forth by Lord Cyclohexane, in particular the revolutionary idea that the Core itself may not have formed until much later than what is usually accepted in canon. The beginning of the timeline cleaves to canon, but in slide 11 separate clusters form, defining this theory. Enjoy!

THANKS The Fraternity of Shadows, particularly David “Jester” Gibson, whose map was used as the basis for my work. Without that “stencil” I’d have never had the artistic talent to present this. John W. Mangrum, whose Unofficial Ravenloft Timeline was invaluable in helping to keep dates straight. Zak “Lord Cyclohexane” Gillman, whose Ideas are presented here with his permission. This ends the 3 rd Core Genesis Project.. It was originally developed by Lord Cyclohexane in the Fraternity of Shadows forum, although the commentary for each slide was written by Strahdsbuddy. These alternate projects have been presented with the intent of spurring conversation, and are not meant to replace canon or change the way games are run.
