Vague historical timeline
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2022 8:43 pm
TLDR: Help me organize a timeline that references eras rather than years
I've been trying to wrap my head around some of the history lore in COGG, and I know many people struggle with creating internally consistent timelines (insert Avatar the Last Airbender reference here), so I wanted to put together a vague chronology with my guesses of when things roughly happened for all the known major historical events. My guesses are probably not great, so I'd love feedback (from anyone who is immersed in the lore, but also especially from Rias). The flow is oldest to most recent, with items in the same bullet happening "around the same time." I would also love some help catagorizing the ages/eras better.
Age of myth
- Mountain Father and other giants shape the world, Vodr shapes the world via controling storms and seas
- Iarel creates mankind, Toteo creates the Huecatn, the Mountain Father carves the Giganti, then pursues creating perfect beings.
- Toteo creates Tatlhuecatn and carries the Huecatn there, and is sundered, Teonanacatl is awakened. Vodr dies.
- Giganti divide into first ten tribes. Weak Giganti leave Arad and become Faewyr (according to Giganti), Faewyr saved by wolves (according to Faewyr).
Age of ancient history
- Nu finds City of the Gods, founds Nuum
- Ascension of Kebyet
- Resen spreads and Tatlhuecatn is divided
- Nuum forsake old gods
- Faewyr travel to Arad from Tyr-Gwyrd, Aetgard founded
- ? Bald hill catacombs built ?
- Ammun unites Nuum
- Hopta do Hopta stuff
Age of recorded (ish) history
- Fasa welcome Viali to Arad from Constantia, Welcomers treaty
- Rhun's rebellion, Tol Rhun formed, ascension of Amon-Rhun
- Hopta mysteriously (not mysteriously) vanish
- Khaldea formed
- Library of Qamar built, Shadgard established
- King Gudleifr, Sifa's exodus, Lapis established
- Hillfolk sail to Parr isles
- Aetgard falls
- Emberlight burns, ? bald hill catacombs overrun ?
Age of recent history
- Plague ravages Lost Lands, quarantine wall built
- Ascension of Destiny Owleyes, Jonathan Crowhaven, and the Pumpkin King?
- New Emberlight burns, and is rebuilt
- Infested, nethrim, and canim activity increases in Lost Lands (+dunwyr? +bandits?), Dusklamp and Tarueka fall
- New Emberlight burns, and is rebuilt
- Mistveil Dominion formed, Republic of Exiles formed
- New Emberlight burns, and is rebuilt
- Caer Ioan founded
Current age
- New Emberlight joins and leaves Republic of Exiles
- Dominion founds Blackwater logging camp
- Liberi gather and overtake many ruins
