Saga Timeline

 

As the complete timeline is so long, a variety of year numbering systems of varying inaccuracy find use during the course of the saga. (For example, people living before the birth of King Ronard obviously did not use negatively-numbered years.*) This timeline exclusively uses the Ronardian Calendar for the reasons described in that writeup. All years given are taken directly or extrapolated from notes given in the various canonical texts and selected external sources, then rendered as well as possible into the Ronardian Calendar.

 

Note, however, that many of these dates are approximate. As the length of a Battal year varies from 175 to 507 days over the course of a 33-year Battal Cycle (see Astrolonomy), accurate recording of history is an almost completely unknown science to all within the ELotH:TES universe, with the possible exception of the Chronoclave.

 


 

The Forlorn Era Of Pensive Twiddle: "Before time" (FEPT)

 

An era said by the War Men to have lasted for an unknown span prior to the Hierarchs. It is the setting for several of their traditional stories of myth. Unlike every other myth or legend ever referred to in the entire saga, these stories are not based on fact; the Forlorn Era never actually took place and is included here only for completeness.

 

Forgotten Age: ? to the Beginning of time (2)

The original beginning of time. No one can remember what it was like, so for all intents and purposes, it does not exist, except it clearly did.

 

The Hierarchy: Beginning of time to 0 (TH)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Age of Whimpering:(-75,300 to -70,101) also known as The Time of the Encients

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The War of the Item Guilds: -30,425 to -28,872

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Great Breakening: -19,230 to -4,420

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Magic Sword Kings Period: 0 to 9,473 (TMSK)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wandering Age: 1,003 to 3,512 (WA)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Longest Moment: 4:35:00pm to 4:35:13pm BUST, Medianary 26th, 9473 (TLM)

 

This age, described in an epic poem Tycho Brahe allegedly wrote while taking severe allergy relief (see The Rise and Fall of Minuschitae), descibes the effects that a brief sigh, given off by a napping Frand Burgrove, has on Minuschitae, a kingdom contained within a hair on Frand's pillow. In this painstaking description of the unspeakable horror and inevitable destruction of the once peaceful kingdom, The Sundering is foreshadowed, and Vaxin the Tiny is introduced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Spica Wars: 9,473 to 10,435 (TSW)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Sundered Era: 10,435 to 17,910 (TS)

Note: The term "The Sundering" refers to the actual breaking of the world, although some sources use it to label the period from 10,435 to 17,908. To add additional confusion, some timelines list the era from 12,066 to 17,910 as The Unsundering (abbreviated TU). The reason for the selection of year 12,066 is unclear.

 

The following section is divided into timeline events that happened in The Shield, and events that happened in The Sickle. During this time period there was no interaction or interplay between these two lands.

The Shortest Millennium: Dawn, Primanary 1st, 19,109

 

Following the events of Countdown to Infinite Wizbits, all the mutually contradictory Four Underdogs timelines were folded into an inaccessible paradox-negation ward at this precise moment in time, preventing them all from irreparably damaging the timeline. These events are still recorded here as they have not ceased to have ever occurred, but neither do they have any bearing on the prime timeline, which continues afterwards.

 

 

All these timelines begin with the following event, but continue in different ways:

 

 

ElamenSTAR: 19,109 to 20,034

 

ElamenSTAR serves as the foundation (and arguably the cause) from which the timelines of Battal split. After the split, however, this timeline ceases because it is paradoxical. None of the other timelines could exist without it, but all of the other timelines ostensibly replace it with a different chain of events. See ElamenSTAR.

 

The Dreaming Feculence: 19,109 to 20,034 (TDF)

 

The second timeline formed in 19,109. See The Wizbits Cartoon. Elemenstor Gearstrike will probably also take place in this timeline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wizbits Extreme: 19,109 to 20,034 (WX)

 

The third and fourth timelines formed in 19,109. See Wizbits Extreme and Wizbits Extreme: Ultra battle Final. There are actually two separate Wizbits Extreme timelines; it is unknown what differences there are between them.

 

 

 

ElamenSTAR Shuffle: 19,109 to 20,034

 

The fifth timeline formed in 19,109. See ElamenSTAR Shuffle. This timeline bears little relation to the original ElamenSTAR timeline and is set on Alternate Battal.

 

The Four Underdogs: 19,109 to 20,034 (FU)

 

The sixth timeline formed in 19,109 (See Elemenstor Radio Dramas). This is the primary ELotH:TES timeline upon which the 13 book cycle was originally based and the one which corresponds most strongly with the prime timeline (below).

 

 

 

 

The Four Underdogs: 19,109 to 20,034

 

This is the paradox-free prime timeline created as a result of Countdown to Infinite Wizbits and the timeline which is continued below. While not yet officially recorded, this can be assumed to be a distilled and improved "highlights reel" of all the previously recorded Four Underdogs timelines.

 

 

 

 

The Rise Of The Elemenstors: 20,034 to 25,478 (TRotE)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Resundering: 25,478 to 26,780 (TRS)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Unlight Eonicles: 26,780 to 30,765 (TUE)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Ending Times: 30,765 to the end of time (TE)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Notably Hygrad the Mighty marked the formation of the Band of Men with a monument marked with the year -28,951, but indeed this bewildered all those who looked upon it.
