Revision as of 16:37, 8 June 2010

This is a consolidated timeline of the events in Creation, as best we can figure out. All years are by the Realm calendar.

Contents

The Prehistoric Age

All time before the end of the Primordial War is considered "before history". (Lands of Creation, pp. 10-11).

Year 0 (very roughly RY -4,500)

  • Primordials surrender during Calibration.
  • Four Primordials remain free: Gaia, Autochthon and two others.
  • SheWhoLivesInHerName burns away "nine out of every 10 important things" in the instants before her imprisonment.

Ochre Fountain Era (Year 1-109)

Year 1

Year 109

  • Meru War ends with compromise, creating the Deliberative, but with Merela still as queen. (Lands of Creation, pg. 13)

Year 121

  • Autochthon departs Creation, creating Autochthonia. (Lands of Creation, pg. 13)
  • The Autochthonian calendar, which calculates years "in the same fashion as the Old Realm", begins. So, in the timeline within Autochthonia, "the current year", corresponding to RY 768, "is 4878"; however, see notes in the section below on the Time of Cascading Years. (Autochthonians, pg. 24).

Year 124

Year 230

  • Thesis's student Sonah founds the Sonan School of Sorcery. (Lands of Creation, pg. 13)

Year 652

The Unfurling Horizon Era (Year 653-1215)

circa Year 1300

  • Solar fashion dictates wearing and using items only made by ones self. (Lands of Creation, pg. 15)
  • Directional languages (e.g. earthtongue, flametongue, etc.) intentionally developed, replacing Old Realm in mortal lands. Languages included built-in thaumaturgical prayers, acting to stabilize Creation. (Lands of Creation, pg. 15)

Year 1439

  • Chone transfers all students to Halleus, ceases teaching sorcery, shifts focus to magitech engineering. (Lands of Creation, pg. 15)

circa Year 1650 (roughly RY -2,800)

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

Year 1676

Year 1721

  • 14th Ascending Wood: Death of Facet Raven, the first solar to die of old age. (Lands of Creation, pg. 15)

The Thousand Struggles Era (Year 1722-2543)

= Year 1734

= Year 1762

Year 1807

Year 1827

  • Just after Calibration, a solar circle called the WhiteJadeFeatherSociety violate oaths to attack rivals within Meru. Within six months, Deliberative attendance ends, with many fleeing Meru entirely. (Lands of Creation, pg. 16)

  • Snow Period begins, where no celestial exalted fight one another, despite constant expectation of conflict. (Lands of Creation, pg. 17)

Year 1983

  • Hano's student Devon founds the Devonian School of Sorcery. (Lands of Creation, pg. 17)

Year 2046

Time of Cascading Years (Year 2325-2543)

Year 2325

  • Time becomes subjective, with different locations experiencing different durations. This era is measured from when this time split started to when it ended and time become universally applied again. Convention holds that this period is "officially counted" as 217 years long, but this a mostly arbitrary decision based on the time reference of the historians doing the labeling. To some, the period lasts a single afternoon. Within this section, each subjective timeline will be referenced independently, using "Cascading Years" (CY) as a subjective measurement from when this era begins. (Lands of Creation, pg. 17)

Heaven's timeline

Merela's timline

Autochthonian timeline

While no official word exists on how Autochthonia experiences this timeline, it seems likely, being Elsewhere, that they experience it the same way that Heaven does: with no time passing. Since the Autochthonian time line is the only canonical one that spans the First Age to the present in a known number of years, this assumption will be used in the rest of this document when trying to determine the relation between First Age dates and RY 0. It is also assumed that Realm historians "officially" count the duration of the Time of Cascading years as 217 years. Naturally, events currently reckoned to have happened "3000 years ago" depend significantly on what timeline you are looking through.

In any case, if these assumption are true, the following relations exist:

|| Event || First Age || Autochthonia || Realm || || History begins || 0 || -121 || -4448 || || Autochthon leaves Creation || 121 || 0 || -4327 || || Start of Time of Cascading Years || 2325 || 2204 || -2123 || || End of Time of Cascading Years || 2543 || 2204 || -1906 || || Realm Begins || 4449 || 4110 || 0 || || Present || 5217 || 4878 || 768 ||

Year 2543

  • All survivors of this era, including Dragon-Blooded, all remember personally performing some notable task that restores Creation to its rightful configuration. (Lands of Creation, pg. 17)
  • Souls of 73 celestial exalted who died during the era, including Halleus, reincarnate. (Lands of Creation, pg. 18)

The Second Deliberative Era

Year 2544

  • The Period of Long Silence begins, where few exalted conflicts occur and not much research either. (Lands of Creation, pg. 18)

Year 2626

Year 2678

Year 2730

Year 2758

Year 2931

  • Devon incinerates his books, retires from public life and gifts his sorcerous academy at Sperimin to Hano's student Salina. (Lands of Creation, pg. 19)

  • Tepet forces begin retreat from the Bull of the North. (Kingdom of Halt, p. 41)

Ascending Earth

  • Last of the Tepet legions in the Northeast are destroyed in the Battle of Futile Blood. (Kingdom of Halta, p. 41)

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.

RY 76 marks the end of the second invasion of the Scavenger Lands, as the Seventh Legion marches to Great Forks to defeat the forces there. Yet, reading down, Great Forks is not founded for more than two hundred years hence (RY 278). Am I missing something? ...DeathBySurfeit

Maybe they mean that the modern city of Great Forks wasn't founded until later, and the previous mention of Great Forks simply refers to the area? Or maybe there was an old city that's separate from the new city? Or maybe it's just that <insert usual comment about White Wolf's editors here>.

A thought on this particular problem: Does Exalted: The Abyssals give a date for when the Princess Magnificent was defeated by the three spirits of Great Forks? That would give us a ballpark for the city's founding. -- JesseLowe
My thoughts are not that the editing is done poorly, but rather that it is done as it is intended. Not everyone agrees on certain parts of our own history. So why should the 2nd Age be any different? Not to mention everyone tells history a little differently. Ever read how the British version about the American Revolution? Savare
The problem is this: Are the Exalted books written from an objective or subjective perspective? This has come up before with White Wolf, re: World of Darkness. As far as I can tell, all the books save the Caste / Aspect books are written from an objective point of view, i.e. what is written is true regardless of what the Scarlet Empress thinks; when material is either "from a certain point of view" or canonically left uncertain, that's usually made clear, as are in-character bits. Most of Scavenger Sons is written from the objective point of view, so I think that the timeline errors -- which are not confined to Scavenger Sons, by the way -- are just that: errors. -- JesseLowe
I believe it's been suggested that such errors can be reified by assuming that they are a result of tangles in the Loom of Fate. Thus, a battle can take place outside the walls of a city even though that city will not be founded for two hundred years. This is the sort of thing that gives Chejop Kejak heartburn. - Quendalon
That may have been suggested, but in my opinion, it sounds like a very thin attempt to rationalize poor editing. I agree with JesseLowe; the books are (and should be) written from an objective point of view, except in certain sections where they are clearly speaking in the voice of an in-character source known to be biased, such as a Realm Historian. Occam's Razor suggests that any other inconsistencies are, in fact, editing mistakes, and not part of an elaborate plot by the writers to deliberately cloud the facts. --Toram

The Outcaste and Alchemical books both make references to dates before the Realm calender began. Lookshy dates it's calander from the beginning of the Shogunate period, whilst the Authothonians have been counting the days since just after the Primordial War, I beleive. Maybe these two books would be useful in this instance? --Megapope
