Timeline

This is a rough timeline of events of the Middle World.
  • It will be updated as new information becomes available to the PCs.
  • PCs who don't have information up here don't have specific timeline info their characters. Help me fix this!
  • Times right now are listed in reference to the start of the heroes' adventure (thus, years before the first meeting in Rhotas Barav).
  • Forgive any formatting issues; the translation into the Blogger stuff gets a little wonky sometime.

“Ontogenesis”
The Time of Legends
The Creator crafts the Middle World.


Bahamut is created to carry the world on his back through the void (Apsu).

The Celestials and Spirits form of the energy of the world, some divine and some elemental.

The Creator creates Falak to keep the energy of the Celestials and Spirits in check. Falak lies waiting in the cosmic Sea of Fire.

The Creator fashions the mortal races: Free Will to decide the course of the Middle World. Early civilization exists as magnificent cities mixed of mortals, spirits, and Celestials.

Zarkham, the Cosmic Dragon, seeds Tien Lung and Tiamat upon the Middle World. The Creator balances the dragons with Order and Chaos.
