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

See Discussions/BullOfTheNorth for more on this.
