	~~{\|border=3 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 align=right~~		Asheron's Call had an ongoing story that was moved forward with each monthly event. These events were grouped together into story arcs, which each lasted roughly one year. Most story arcs had official titles, while the last one did not. For the last few years, the traditional story arc structure was dropped in favor of having multiple smaller, overlapping arcs.
