This serves as a collection of information we as players have uncovered, as well as a rough timeline of events (including threads and mentions to Discord encounters). Please note that the information in here avoids to be speculative and only includes facts that the Storyteller has given us. Similarly, time is somewhat fluid, so there are seldom exact dates when things happen. That said, when threads are listed, they are organized in chronological order.
The source of the information will be included in parentheses following the statement. Then, just below the statement in italics will be the characters who were involved, followed by who knows the information, as show in parentheses. For example:
The Attack on the Academy
Relevant threads: "Sword, sword, sword...", The Death and the Raspberry, and WHY DO YOU EAT IT
On an otherwise uneventful day, Hollows begin raining down on the Shin'ō Academy at a scale hitherto unheard of. Ranging from your basic Hollows all the way to Adjuchas wage war on the students and, perhaps more importantly, the asauchi.
Rin's Kidnapping
Relevant threads: DEATH GOD HATES YOU
Roughly two months after the initial attack on the Academy, Rin is attacked in the dead of night by hired thugs. Although she seriously wounds one of them, she is ultimately defeated and captured. It's only later that the thugs realize she is not the Academy student they were after. She's kept imprisoned for a number of days before she is able to make her escape.
Just a few days after Rin's capture, small packs of Hollows have begun invading the Seireitei.

- Hollows were seen fixating on eating asauchi, either in the crates they were stored in, or by taking them from students. (Sword, sword, sword..., The Death and Raspberry, WHY DO YOU EAT IT, confirmation from Storyteller in Discord)
Suzume, Ayane, Saeki, Souta, Hazuki, Imato, Ichiro (Known by all characters) - On at least one occasion, a Hollow was seen attempting to eat a fully manifested Zanpakutō (WHY DO YOU EAT IT)
Hazuki (Known by Imato, Ichiro, Suzume and Ayane) - However, students who were killed do not show the typical wounds (i.e. missing limbs, or hips) (Discord encounter in Rin's channel)
Rin, Suzume, Ayane and Hazuki (Known by Ichiro) - Nearly all of the students at the Academy were killed during the attack (Confirmed by Storyteller in Discord)
Known by all characters - Shinigami were also captured and taken through the gates that the Hollows came in through (The Death and the Raspberry)
Saeki and Souta (Known by no one else) - A man with long hair was seen talking with the scorpion-like Adjuchas during the attack. Both were shrouded in a veil which we later learned to be a sort of Bakudō #55: Yūkai Kekkai. The man's voice was vaguely familiar to both Ayane and Suzume. (Sword, sword, sword..., Discord encounter in gm-discussion to reveal the Bakudō)
Suzume, Ayane and Souta (Known by Hazuki and Ichiro)
Rin's Kidnapping
Relevant threads: DEATH GOD HATES YOU
Roughly two months after the initial attack on the Academy, Rin is attacked in the dead of night by hired thugs. Although she seriously wounds one of them, she is ultimately defeated and captured. It's only later that the thugs realize she is not the Academy student they were after. She's kept imprisoned for a number of days before she is able to make her escape.
- Rin was attacked, defeated, and then taken to the lower residential district of the 4th. During the attack she managed to gouge out the eye of one man. It's later revealed that the man will not be treating the wound. While escaping, she found a Fourth Division emblem on one of the men and found herself in the lower residential district of the Fourth (DEATH GOD HATES YOU)
Rin (Known by Suzume, Ayane, Hazkui and Ichiro)
Just a few days after Rin's capture, small packs of Hollows have begun invading the Seireitei.
Relevant Threads:
- These attacks seem to be exclusively targeting the students who survived the attack on the Academy. Within just a few days, only about four students remain.
Ayane (Known by everyone)
- Lieutenant Kizuki of the Fourth. A first responder of the attack and someone who matches the description of the mysterious man that Suzume and Ayane saw. (Sword, sword sword...)
- Lieutenant Minamoto of the Seventh. She had reached out to Suzume and Souta with extreme care to lay out her suspicions of Lieutenant Yasuo and his odd behavior as of late. (Tea Time)
- Seated Officer Nakamura of the Third. Nothing of note.
- Captain Fujiwara of the Tenth. Nothing of note.
- Lieutenant Yasuo of the Tenth. A first responder of the attack and someone who matches the description of the mysterious man that Suzume and Ayane saw. He was seen appearing out of thin air to defend Souta and Saeki. He was making unrecorded trips to the World of the Living prior to the attack on the Academy. He denied knowing about the asauchi being stolen. Third Seat Nobuko claimed that he had been agitated and on edge following the attack on the Academy. (Encounter with Suzume in Storytelling, various mentions in gm-discussion)
- Seated Officer Nobuko of the Tenth. A first responder of the attack. She has been incredibly shaken up following the attack. (gm-discussion with Ayane)
- Captain Inoue of the Twelfth. Nothing of note.
- Seated Officer Ōetsu of the Twelfth. The creator of the asauchi and a man who matches the description of the mysterious man that Suzume and Ayane saw. His family are known swordsmiths, however much of his personal history has been carefully scrubbed and doctored. He made numerous trips to the World of the Living prior to the creation of the asauchi. (gm-discussion with Hazuki)
- Captain Kogetsu of the Thirteenth. A man who matches the description of the mysterious man that Suzume and Ayane saw.
- The asauchi are forged like normal blades and then sent off to Oetsu. What he does to them after that is a closely guarded secret. The storage rooms they're placed in are bound by seals. Similarly, the crates given to the Tenth are sealed until they are specially opened. (gm-discussion with Hazuki)
- Prior to the attack on the academy, asauchi were going missing. Hazuki was tasked with investigating this. (gm-discussion with Hazuki)
- Since the attack, all Captains have been mostly absent. It's assumed they're working to resolve the Hollow infiltrations. (gm-discussion)
- Captain Yamato of the 6th has been particularly dodgy. (gm-discussion, storytelling)
