Lore timeline?

So, I quite like the lore in this game, there's a fair bit of it and it's very interesting... but, it is very spread out, and there doesn't seem to be any way to currently check all your collected lore (Short of going to find it again, and that can be frustrating in some situations - I am looking at you Library).

I was wondering if anyone had compiled all the lore into a timeline-esque sort of dealio?

Was also hoping the Devs would introduce a Hideout object that allows you to revisit all the past lore/conversations you've encountered on your account by now.
So, first there was the Eternals but no one cares about them 'cus the Vaal took over and ruled everything until Doryani and Atizi tinkered with skill gems (primarily Flameblast and Storm Call) to the point of everything getting destroyed, society eventual rebuilt itself and stuff so things were great until they had this one emperor named Chitus and he was being a bitch and oppressing people with his three minions: Shavron, Maligro, and Deodre and since that was not cool High Templar Voll and the peoples poet Victaro led an uprising to get rid of him and they managed to kill Chitus and his three minions except Voll let this one loser who spent all his time being emo in the solarice temple live but unfortunately that guy suddenly turned into the main antagonist of poe, killed Voll, Victoro and just about everyone else merging with the beast in the process and that guy, Malachai, resided in the beasts colon until you gave the beast the worlds most intense flue shot followed by a minor case of exploding heart.

Path of exile background in one sentence, you don't need to know anything else about history.

Patent pending.

Have a conversation with Charan, he knows more about the lore in this game than anyone else I've talked to besides GGG members obviously.

Voll's a fucking moron literally is basically the plot of the story.

No seriously what a gullible moron. Every single thing that's happening on Wraecrest could of been prevented if this idiot wasn't so obsessed with purifying his so called empire so therefor lets trust Malachai hur durrr.

So, Charan is the resident expert?

Might have to see if he's interested in trying to work out some kind of timeline then. I'd like to see when events happen in relation to each other, especially the parts that aren't touched upon so much in the main story.
This might be of some interest to you, if you haven't seen it already.

I hadn't! Thankyou very much, seems to be basically just what I was looking for.

Edit:

Just finished up reading it, very pleased with it! Thanks very much~

A little disappointed that it doesn't detail any of the side characters, but still very informative.

Agreed that this is a good source but it hasn't been updated since the release of act 4.

Hence missing quite a bit of information
Act 4: we find out that Malachai is still alive inside a ginormous monster called the Beast that's trapped inside a mountain. He promised Voll that he was going to go inside of it and use its power to destroy all magic/skill gems (same difference) in order to get Voll's backing in creating the Rapture Device which was designed to tear open the Beast's side. However it needed Dialla to power it and she refused to sacrifice her power and consequently her youth, thus Malachai was only able to poke a tiny hole in the Beast and squeeze inside. He apparently either resurrected or created simulacra of Doedre, Shavronne, and Maligaro within the Beast's guts to guard his organs for some reason (apparently he doesn't need them anymore) and began working on reshaping Wraeclast according to his vision with the Beast's power.

Meanwhile Kaom and Daresso, or some kind of living memories of them, are still kicking around in dream realms. Each one is hanging onto a component of the Rapture Device.
