Does anyone have a rough timeline of London's subsequent rise and fall? I'm trying to write something and I want to get all the dates right.

The idea of a Valentine's Day card or receiving a "valentine" from an admirer far predates the Hallmark company or the Victorian era itself. The practice began in earnest with the 1840's with the penny post, making posting letter far more affordable. In the mid Victorian era valentines were often made with lace paper, though that passed out of fashion by the mid-1870's and the more common letter Valentine was sent though the post. Red hearts, cupids, flowers, angels, swains, and nymphs were often used in these homemade baubles, though they could be bought at commercial shops in London; more so as urbanization grew.
Occasionally bank notes or cheques were made out "The Bank of Love" or valentines were made to resemble pound notes. Telegrams were sent from "Loveland" and some of the more eruidite sent mechanical valentines with working parts.
It was also not uncommon to receive an insulting telegram from a scorned admirer, dandy or to an unwanted suitor(hence the Gift of Scorn.) Being English, these were usually sent anonymously.

Just read the newspapers. London was apparently sunk back in 1862.
Also:
In addition, it should be noteworthy that the cheapest wine vintage is a Greyfields 1882, so obviously we are past that point.
The description for it is: One of the better years. Tangy, with an agaric after taste.
So that may imply that it's not exactly the next year after.

Also, the game timeline progresses with the real one. 2011 was 1889, 2012 is 1890, and unless something cataclismic happens before New Year's Day, 2013 should be 1891, I think.

Has anyone noticed that London was stolen on Valentine's day? It seems fitting, considering...
