Timeline of Creation for my games

First Age

Dates before the founding of the Realm are sketchy; however, certain events are not. In rough order:

  • Solars rule for a "timeless age". ( Exalted, p. 11)

circa RY -4,500

  • The end of the Primordial Wars.

RY -4,110

  • Autochthon withdraws from Creation, creating Autochthonia. Its calendar, which calculates years "in the same fashion as the Old Realm", begins and "the current year is 4878". This clearly occurred prior to the Usurpation, placing a limit on how far back that could have occurred. ( Autochthonians, pg. 24)

circa RY -3,900

  • Ascension Day, when the lesser elemental dragons were elevated to the status of gods.

circa RY -2,800

  • The Kukla becomes the first greater elemental dragon and is promptly bound by the Unconquered Sun.

circa RY -500

  • The Unconquered Sun gets angry at the Solar Deliberative and turns his face from the Solar Exalted.

circa RY -400

  • The Usurpation

Usurpation & Shogunate

  • The Usurpation, followed by "decades" of war to exterminate the Solars. ( Exalted, p. 11)
  • "The Dragon-Blooded" rule for "centuries". ( Exalted, p. 11) This refers to the Shogunate.
  • "...the Dragon-Blooded managed to hold everything together for seven centuries". (Manual of Exalted Power: The Sidereals, pg. 224)
  • Swan Dragon is Censor for the South from "345 years after the Usurpation up until the last days of the Contagion". His tenure is at least "a few hundred years". ( Houses of the Bull God, pg. 102)
  • The arrival of the Great Contagion. Based on the description events between this and the founding of the Realm ( Exalted, pp. 11-12), this probably happened only a few years before RY 0.

    • Seventh Legion forces march to Great Forks -- or at least, to the conjunction of the Yellow River and the Rolling River where Great Forks will be founded in RY 278 -- and destroy the Fourth Imperial Legion there. ( Scavenger Sons, p. 66)
  • Realm forces withdraw from the Scavenger Lands. ( Scavenger Sons, p. 66)

RY 766

  • According to Scavenger Sons, p. 19, this is the earliest that the Bull of the North is mentioned, uniting the icewalker tribes. Obviously, this contradicts information in the Kingdom of Halta sourcebook, which has him waging war in the northeast, south of the Linowan Nation, between 761 and 764. See Discussions/BullOfTheNorth for more on this.

RY 768

Present year.
