This is not so much a chronological list as it is organized by what he accomplished in various continents and regions as he visited them, so it’s sort of chronological, but also sort of not. Also, I’m only listing the really super noteworthy stuff.

Qeynos:


 * Arrived by the city after the ship he was on was dashed on the coast. He was found on the shore, unconscious, having saved three Dwarves from drowning and swimming to the shore with them.

Discovered a Gnoll plot to attack the city in the Peat Bog, adventured into the Caves beneath the city with the Qeynos Guard to help fight them.

Helped repel a pirate attack in the northern section of the city, which had been partially destroyed and abandoned in the quakes.

Went into the deepest levels of the Qeynos Catacombs, with much of the rest of the Qeynos Guard, to purge the undead and the Bloodsaber Clan which sheltered there even after the War of Plague was long over.

Prevented the theft of the Qeynos Claymore, and the blade then claimed him.

After a very long and confusing series of events, he discovered a plot to overthrow Queen Antonia Bayle that was secretly backed by Roehn Theer and his Void forces. Jaukoehai managed to shield the Queen from harm and bring the conspirators to justice.

Antonica:

Managed to locate the Gnoll stronghold Blackburrow, and informed his comrades in the Qeynos guard. He then participated in the attack which destroyed the cavern fortress.

Was trapped in the Firemyst Gully with a squadron of Dwarven soldiers, facing off with a powerful pre-Shattering necromancer lord. Against all odds, he managed to pull a victory and forever destroy Arch Lich Udalan.

Attacked and suppressed undead in the lost fortress of Stormhold.


 * Located the Hidden Vale and disrupted a plot by a bunch of Freeportian mages, with the help of his Qeynos Guard peers, of course.

Discovered a portion of the old Qeynos Catacombs sheltering a band of Goblins led by Vindiami the Ancient, and managed to alert the Qeynos Guard and Temple of Life. They were purged before becoming any real threat.

Participated in the Battle of Cauldron’s Hollow against Freeportian and Nerian forces, managed to pull a victory despite being targeted by Xilania Nevagon, the Seraph of Hate.

The Thundering Steppes:


 * Managed, against all odds, to befriend the Splitpaw Gnoll tribe, giving Qeynos the aid of a friendly Gnoll tribe for the first time in history.

Discovered the fortress of Varsoon, a feared sorcerer from the War of Plague that fought against Qeynos, known for his attempts to render himself fully immortal. He and other Qeynos Guard soldiers entered and attacked, until eventually, Jaukoehai defeated Varsoon. The fortress was destroyed.

After freeing some Centaurs from Varsoon’s imprisonment, Jaukoehai was able to finally get the Centaurs to trust Qeynos and stop harassing villages and roads.

Entered the Cove of Decay and managed to defeat the legendary sea monster, the Octagorgon.

Zek, the Orcish Wastes:

He arrived on the beleaguered docks set up by the Far Seas Trading company, where he met a shockingly amenable Dark Elf named Shadow, who was fighting for the Qeynosian Guard elite ranger corps called the Green Hoods. With Shadow at his side through most of it, Jaukoehai and the Green Hoods struck key targets of the Deathfist Orc Empire, culminating in an assault on Deathfist Citadel, where Jaukoehai killed the Emperor and the entire royal line and basically every officer in the Citadel. The Deathfist Empire fell apart, and for the first time, a Dark Elf was granted Qeynosian citizenship.

The Butcherblock Mountains:

Faydwer is rediscovered. Jaukoehai heads back to his home continent and helps the Dwarves fight to reclaim their homelands. In the ancient, crumbling Dwarven capital of Kaladim, Jaukoehai found the Stormhammer, which he uses to this day.

The Greater Faydark:

After the rediscovery of Faydwer, Jaukoehai helped the residents of Kelethin in their fight against the Crushbone Orc Empire, which was largely a result of Neriak attacking Kelethin and Felwithe after the Shattering in what is known as the War of the Fay. Jaukoehai succeeded in toppling the Crushbone Empire, though the D’vinnian Emperor escaped him.

Attempted to enter his old home city, Felwithe, only to find the gates closed and the people hostile to all outsiders. After questioning Kelethin, they said that the High Elves of Felwithe became that way during the Shattering. Jaukoehai discovered it was a result of the meddling of the Vampire lord Mayong Mistmoore.

The Loping Plains:

Jaukoehai attempted to exact his pound of flesh on Mistmoore, and in doing so, discovered many more horrors committed by the Vampire Lord. However, when he finally caught Mayong Mistmoore, the Vampire revealed to Jaukoehai his knowledge of the End Times prophecy, and posited that killing him now would be foolish, and that they should instead work together to prevent the End Times. Seeing no choice, Jaukoehai agreed.

Everfrost:

Found a band of Valkyries sheltering in the frozen wastes, managed to gain their trust.

Discovered a Blood Cult attempting to summon a succubus, with the aim of destroying said Valkyries and claiming their land. Jaukoehai was able to dismantle the cult and defeat the demon.

After a long quest across this frozen, hellish wasteland, he managed to help the pilgrims in Everfrost secure three different footholds of relative civilization, though he was unable to recapture the site of old Halas, partially because it simply was not worth recapturing.

The Desert of Ro:

After a series of very strange tasks, Jaukoehai managed to gain the trust of the Naga, who then allowed him to enter the Shimmering Citadel and gain the trust of the Djinn Master.

Discovered the identity of the lost heir to the last Sultan of Maj’dul. He began a quest to restore the heir to his throne, while contending with the Court of Tears and their attempts to take over rule of Maj’dul, and Grand Vizier Mudeef, who unofficially ruled Maj’dul and did not want to relinquish his power. With the help of the Courts of Blade, Coin and Truth Jaukoehai managed to defeat the Court of Tears and Mudeef, as well as topple the Ru’jark Orc Empire, his third toppled Orc nation.

Kunark:

He journeyed to the recently rediscovered Kunark, where he managed to help the people of Teren’s Grasp, as well as make a few friends amongst members of the Sathirian Empire that opposed Rile Sathir’s reign. He was mostly here, however, to do two things. The first: investigate Mayong Mistmoore’s leads on evidence of the End Times prophecy amongst Shissar ruins. The second, dismantle the Order of Rime, a group of invaders, which he did with great gusto.

Moors of Ykesha:

He encountered the Frogloks which lived here still, even in spite of the fact that their home city had been conquered by the Rallosian Empire prior to the Shattering, and Ogres lived there still, worshipping evil gods and defiling the city with dark magic. Jaukoehai rallied the Frogloks there, called Frogloks from Qeynos and any other heroic, adventuring souls interested in helping. He led a crusade, later known as Jaukoehai’s Crusade, against these remnants of the Rallosian Empire. He smashed his way through Ogres and undead, breaking into the ancient city of Guk, where he actually killed Ykesha himself. The Frogloks reclaimed their ancestral homelands.

Velious:

Consulted with the Othmir people about the End Times prophecy, and he earned many friends among them. He and Mayong Mistmoore began developing a more cohesive plan for dealing with the issue as more information came to light.

Discovered that Rallos Zek, God of War, had made a plan to conquer Norrath (he had already tried that twice before), this time with a radical new idea: he would enter Norrath himself to lead his forces. Jaukoehai led the Othmir, Coldain Dwarves, some of the Qeynos Guard, and mercenaries and adventurers from all walks of life in a fight against Ry’gorr Orcs, Giants, and Planar warriors, as they attempted to construct enough anchors to cause Rallos Zek’s capital fortress, Drunder, to materialize in Norrath, allowing free passage for Rallos Zek and his minions from the Plane of War. Though Jaukoehai and his forces were not able to stop Drunder from materializing, Jaukoehai did manage to enter the Plane of War and, after a shattering duel, slay the God of War, and elevate his three children to his former spot to maintain the balance. (Note: this also resulted in the collapse of the Ry’gorr Orc Empire, thus Jaukoehai is responsible for a total of four.)

Thalumbra:

Jaukoehai rediscovered Subtunaria, which had not collapsed during the Shattering as many had theorised. It was renamed Thalumbra. Regrettably, Jaukoehai was killed the next day by Queen Cristanos Thex.

Alright, so now we move on to the stuff he did in his second life. This bit is in chronological order.

Desert of Ro:

Managed to hide himself away for twenty years in the Shimmering Citadel, and had two children with his lover, both girls. They lived relatively peacefully, until Jaukoehai at last felt the call to return to duty.

Odus:


 * After discovering that his brother had supposedly killed but actually severely weakened Mayong Mistmoore, discovered the End Times prophecy himself and claimed Soulfire, then lost it, as well as the Qeynos Claymore being lost, Jaukoehai went to Odus to attempt to rescue (much to his chagrin) Lucan D’lere, the Overlord of Freeport. Jaukoehai and his brother discovered that the mysterious Void forces that were invading here, as well as the Erudites which were willingly corrupted, served Roehn Theer, the former Seraph of the Nameless and original wielder of the twin Swords of Destiny. Jaukoehai and his brother freed Lucan D’lere and attempted to fight Roehn Theer and recover their respective swords. Theer, wielding the power of both the Swords, was able to escape.

Velious:

The news of the awakening of Kerafyrm, the Prismatic Dragon, and his murder of his Draconian guardians, shook the world. Jaukoehai knew that the End Times had truly begun. They went there to attempt to delay Kerafyrm, only to discover that Kerafyrm was long gone, and left devastation in his wake. Worse still, through trickery he had absorbed the power of the Swords of Destiny, making him even more shockingly powerful, though Roehn Theer too was long gone.

The Ethernere:

All world powers gathered together to discuss how best to face the threat that the Awakened posed. Already, Awakened forces under orders from Kerafyrm had attacked both Qeynosian and Freeportian holdings. They decided that they would need to get more information and aid, so working together, they managed to breach the Ethernere, Norrath’s afterlife, to consult certain choice spirits, and Jaukoehai even had a bit of a talk with the God of the Ethernere.

Vesspyr Isles:

Kerafyrm used the powers of the Plane of Sky (which is lorded over by Veeshan, the goddess of Dragons) to wrench territory from the surface of Norrath to create a series of islands caught halfway between Norrath and the Ethernere, called the Vesspyr Isles. Jaukoehai and the united people of Norrath received a surprise when the Ring of Scale, the order of Dragons that had originally imprisoned Kerafyrm, left their isolation and allied with the other Norrathians, and they managed to enter the Vesspyr Isles. After a long and arduous war, the Awakened vs. Everyone Else, and a great number of truly impressive actions by a number of different people, Jaukoehai and his brother led a small, elite band of heroes to assault Kerafyrm’s fortress, Daarspire, where he was already performing the ritual that would destroy the world. They fought their way up through the tower, and encountered Roehn Theer along the way, who was planning to kill Kerafyrm and take control of the Awakened, so that he could destroy the world instead, as he deemed it unworthy to continue. Jaukoehai’s brother stayed behind to duel Roehn Theer, while Jaukoehai continued up to fight Kerafyrm. There, Queen Cristanos Thex managed to perform a spell that caused the power of the Swords of Destiny to leave Kerafyrm and flow back into the swords, enabling Jaukoehai to defeat, but not kill, Kerafyrm. Roehn Theer likely would have defeated Jaukoehai’s brother with the power of the Swords of Destiny, but the Soulfire sword still considered Jaukoehai’s brother its rightful owner, as Theer had not properly won it back. Thus, Jaukoehai’s brother was able to defeat Theer, and claim the second Sword of Destiny, thus becoming the new Seraph of the Nameless. He journeyed to the top of the tower, and flung the unconscious Kerafyrm into space, where he rebuilt the shattered moon Luclin around Kerafyrm, hopefully sealing the immortal Dragon forever. However, though the prophecy was fulfilled and the entire world saved, the old lines were quick to redraw themselves between Norrathians, even while the fight was still going, for Queen Cristanos Thex used sorcery to enervate Jaukoehai, rendering him no more than an ordinary man (with a skill level such as his), in a plot to get him to surrender and become a servant of Neriak. He refused, however, his brother arrived before she could finish him off.

Jaukoehai lived in Qeynos for about a month, and he weathered multiple assassination attempts, at which point he realized that he would be a target until he died and thus be a danger to innocent people around him. He gave Queen Antonia Bayle a letter and then he vanished to parts unknown, leaving no trace.

The Othmir of Velious agreed to shelter him within a hidden underwater cavern that none but they knew of, and he lived there with his lover, until she died of old age, and he too had begun to age. Eventually, his grandson was directed by his surviving daughter to him. He taught his grandson everything he knew, prepared his grandson to carry on his legacy. Then he sent his grandson away, for the Othmir prophesied that this would be the day that his granddaughter would come and kill him.
