Ongoing story of Norrath

[Muggens]

If you press Alt-N in your client a window "Story Window" with a bunch of lore stories will pop up. Figured Id start reading these, any one else do?

They all say Oct 17 2005, anyone know more about these? Should I begin at the top and work my way down or vice versa? Are these stories from way after classic times?
Cannot remember that window from classic...
