As the main researcher for the Decade of Dreams handbook I can tell you that
we mainly used old Black Stars and Tournaments Illuminated issues as well as
some real old Kingdom Seneschal's records to find the events and dates. Without
going to my sources I can say that the first events of Bjornsborg were listed
as 1976. The group could have had another name or not even been accounted as a
formal group when Tivar went there.

Remember when TI would have reports of groups from around the Knowne World?
I have an old TI reporting on a Yule Revel held in the Steppes. It mentions that
there were visitors from far-off Stargate.

Yers,

Gunthar
