QUESTION:

If one were crazy enough to want to try to read all of the in-character threads to catch up on what has already happened in the game, what is the recommended reading order?

ANSWER:

You're insane.  But if you want to do that, use the list below.  It has been put together to account for PC cross-overs and to try to show how events in one thread led to developments in others.  Because of the number of cross-overs and intertwining of NPCs/events, there is a lot of back-and-forth.
