Outland Timeline

There is no universal calendar widely used, accepted, or even known about across the whole of Ateon, and in all IC situations, regional calendars should be referenced rather than this wiki page. This page is purely for the sake of world-building, OOC cohesion, and helping to frame our setting for those who wish to contribute to it.

As this is an Out of Character (OOC) dating-system, it should never be referenced in any Roleplay format.

This dating system is less useful when trying to understand the [Templehelm Timeline], which does not have any consistent rate of difference or comparison to the Outland timeline due to Templehelm's unique time dilation. For this reason, entry to Templehelm from the Outlands is least predictable time-wise, and there are very few points from which the two separate spaces can be anchored together.

This timeline is measured in Ateonic Year Points (AYP), which correspond to a 365 day year.

0 AYP : Ephales creates Templehelm's Barrier, separating it from the rest of Ateon. Desiccation of the Orci. Flooding of the Jurrian.

50,000 AYP : Emeraldites abandon [Setlis], smuggling [Planu] into Templehelm. Rough correlation to Year 0 in the [Emeraldite Calendar].

100,000 AYP : The Crimson Magi enact their ritual and forge their pact. Templehelm's Barrier is made porous, and the [Decade of Chaos] begins.

101,000 AYP : The Great Girdle falls.

101,002 AYP :' Foundation of [Cresia] across the liberated North Setlian coastal nations of [Laeosh] and [Rhoen]. The Great Cresian-Shove War begins.

101,025 AYP :' Cresia incorporates [Shoth] and [Setlis], unifying the North Setlian Coast from the Orci to the Far East.
