Rift kills raephire, there's a roughly accurate account in it. It was notable mostly because he was likely the most powerful person at the time, well, except maybe me possibly.
I do recall most of World 1 major events, having played a indirect or direct role in most of them.
Most notable events i played a direct role in, that i can recall off the top of my head:
Changing tons of boulders into runestones [suing the pseudonym "the wanderer"] I do recall meeting the stone carver guy in game, i cant remember what his name is for the life of me. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=223
Joining laketown, Helping kill JTG/Princess/Inaba Lord, in various incarnations, its reported as The trav in the history posted here, but it was really all of laketown hunting him down together.
Some diplomacy/trade stuff with Bottleneck was interesting, as everyone was trying to figure out how diplomacy/trading was going to work.
The rise of justice/rangers, which basically amounted to only laketown and bottlenecks justice, mostly... since very few others were willing to risk it, making it more a extension of their morality then any sort of 'hearthling' community justice.
Someone finding druid cloaks in one of jorbs houses, 3 of them i think? That was the only original source of them, i think i acquired one off JTG/Inaba Lord/Princess's stuff at some point.
Steeling 2 chests full of steel, mostly out of boredom, and as payment to Kaka to join Caketown [Where kaka, loftar, and jorb lived.]
Jorb getting killed [under a pseudonym] by raephire being a dick. [it was known only to caketown at the time, but it was later mentioned in passing by jorb:

Getting paid TWICE, in the raid of the original goonheim [old goonheim], once to aid the attackers, and later by the goons [by telling them of the attack in advance, so that they could get there main characters out]. I also aided the goons later in new goonehim when some random dude attacked them and starting killing them randomly. Thus when Raepshire started seriously threatening them, they came to me with a offer: Kill raepshire, and Chests full of BBB[big bear bangers] would be mine, Actually, in the killing of raepshire the goons helped a bit by bringing me tons of tea in a speedy manner when i had to break down his walls to kill him, thats likely not in any posts as i saw no reason to mention it at the time.
The rapidly decrease of mordor/the high-level area where lvl10 monsters spawned], the amount of forests where you could hunt bears rapidly decreased, between me in the east, blaze in the south, and the west forest quickly becoming civilized and having its level drop, this was the main reason pumpkin declared himself lord of the south-east, in order to reserve the southeast forest. When he found out i hunted there, well.. i hunted in everything but the west forest really, he simply said i had full permission to do whatever, rather then come into conflict with me. I fully endorsed the idea of keeping players out of the rapidly shrinking hunting zones.
Eating bears, Hundreds of bears, thousands of bears.. So many bears..
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7600 contains some more oral history people wrote prier to this world history thing.
If anyone actually has any interest at all in any specific event already posted, or that you vaguely recall about W1, and want a true/more detail story about it, just ask, and i'll try and remember.
And since this is about 'common knowledge' rather then hidden knowledge and since i didn't really participate, i'll just leave this here rather then explain it, maybe someone involved will:
