This timeline is intended to put the known events of the Critical Role universe in as close to chronological order as possible.

Notes and explanations[]

This timeline uses the official calendar on page 41 of the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting.

Most dates outside the stream are approximate. For example, sources will often say something like "400 years ago" or "a millennium ago," which obviously isn't meant to be exact. Likewise, many dates are described as "less than" or "more than" or "nearly" some number of years ago. A character's birth year is generally their age subtracted from the year when the age is mentioned, though of course that could be off by one year if, for example, the age is mentioned earlier in the year than that character's birthday. This language should be included in the citation for clarity.

Conflicting evidence[]

Many dates in this timeline are based on evidence that the streamed events of Campaign One: Vox Machina took place between 810 and 812 PD. That evidence includes the following:

  • In "The Fate-Touched" (1x103), Vincent Clor specifically noted that the date was 12 Misuthar 812 PD,[1] which was the same day Vox Machina fled from a bad battle with Vecna into the Feywild.
  • Winter's Crest offers a convenient marking of time: there was one in the pre-stream adventures (a ruined festival in Westruun, but Emon threw another festival to make up for the spoiled one), there was another just days before the Chroma Conclave attack (the thin barrier between planes on that day helped Thordak escape the Elemental Plane of Fire), and there was one during Vox Machina's long break from adventuring right before the final days of the campaign.
  • The map accompanying the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting
    TyriokTalDoreiMap

    Tyriok's credit on the map of Tal'Dorei.[art 2]

    was inscribed with the year 812 P.D. ("Post-Divergence"), and was created by Tyriok Gadsworth, who was in the process of creating the map in "Into the Frostweald" (1x48),[2] which took place at the beginning of the year following the Chroma Conclave's attack on Emon. The Campaign Setting was set roughly one year after the fall of the Chroma Conclave.[3]
  • Matthew Mercer said on Twitter that, in relation to Campaign 1, Campaign 2 was "over 20 years later."[4] Campaign 2 starts in Sydenstar 835 PD.
  • The canon media timeline released in June 2021 shows Vox Machina's campaign taking place between 810 and 812 PD.[5]

The official Exandrian Timeline, as updated in October 2021.[art 3]

That said, the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount contradicts all of the above: it repeatedly states that the Chroma Conclave's attacks on Tal'Dorei and Draconia occurred in 815 PD.[7] The guide also notes that the Myriad set up a satellite group in Tal'Dorei twenty years ago (i.e. 815 PD),[8] and it is amply established that they had a foothold in Tal'Dorei by the time Vox Machina began.[9][10]

This was reinforced in an episode in 836 PD: Beauregard Lionett recalled that Delilah Briarwood was ousted from the Cerberus Assembly "25, 26 years" earlier,[11] which would be 810 PD. She fled and eventually took over Whitestone five or six years before Vox Machina led the rebellion against them,[12][13][14] suggesting that Whitestone was liberated in 815 PD.

Slightly less straightforward evidence of conflict: Allura Vysoren appeared to be in her mid-fifties in 836 PD.[15] If the Chroma Conclave attacked in 810 PD, and Allura led a group of adventurers who sealed Thordak about 15[16] or 16[17] years before that, then Thordak was sealed in 794 or 795 PD, when Allura would have been a young teenager.

Although the canon timeline released at the announcement of Exandria Unlimited shows Vox Machina's campaign taking place between 810 and 812 PD and the new mini-campaign taking place in 842 PD, the announcements repeatedly say that the mini-campaign takes place "almost" or "nearly" thirty years after the Chroma Crisis,[18] which would have occurred between late 810 and early 811 PD.

Another specific date doesn't seem to fit either scenario well: in "The Adventures of the Darrington Brigade" (Sx49), set in 826 PD, Matt starts the episode by saying it has been "just over a decade since Vecna's ascension and subsequent banishing."[19] That doesn't fit with Vecna's ascension being in 817 PD, as it would have been if the Chroma Conclave attacked in 815. And it's a slight stretch to say 14 years is "just over a decade."

Vincent Clor's date contradicts another couple of pieces of canon, in a smaller way. He stated that the date was 12 Misuthar, but a previous episode indicated that Vox Machina was taking a full one-year break that would have ended weeks after 12 Misuthar.[20] One could treat that "one year" as approximate, but that one-year break included the creation of a permanent teleportation circle in Whitestone, which would take exactly one year.[21] It's not a big adjustment, so this timeline simply treats the 12 Misuthar date as correct.

Pre-stream[]

The Founding and prior events[]

See The Founding for an overview.

Year(s) Event
Unknown Kryn creation myth: The Luxon was born at the creation point of the universe. Other lights formed around this Light, but those lights settled as stars; the Luxon resisted that urge to burn and instead traveled, seeking self-knowledge.[22] The Luxon traveled without much comprehension, knowing only that they were light in the darkness, and occasionally passed other things of light.[23]
Kryn creation myth: The Luxon, having noticed a particular lonely planet, began to embrace the world and gave their light to the planet, cracking the surface and giving it fiery life. The elemental chaos gave birth to titans called Primordials, and they erupted and fought each other[22] and the Luxon.[24] Finding no consciousness in the elemental chaos and seeing the Primordials' souls being lost to the darkness beyond as they killed each other, the Luxon broke into scattered Luxon beacons that would enact a cycle of rebirth for those who were bound to their light, in hopes that those beings would gradually learn and mature, and one day something would find and reassemble the Luxon, at which point the Luxon would ask them, "What am I, and what is my purpose?"[22]

Other creation myths: Elemental titans called Primordials claimed the world as their own and dwelt deep beneath its surface.[25]

A primordial titan seed was planted in the area that would later become the Rifenmist Jungle.[26]
Ceratos of Many Minds arrived on Exandria.[27]
The gods came to the chaotic world and created the elves, then the dwarves, then the humans, then other races. The gods lent power to the mortals to tame the world: the first divine magics.[25]
A dark, alien power called Predathos seeped into reality, devoured the gods Ethedok and Vordo, and threatened all life on the world. The gods, whose powers did not work against Predathos, banded together with the Primordials to trap and seal it within a piece of the planet; when they attempted to fling it away from the world, however, it remained in orbit as a moon that would come to be called Ruidus. The gods surrounded this moon in a matrix much like the later Divine Gate, and conspired to conceal the nature of this moon from the mortal races.[28][29]
The gods created the Dragons Metallic to further protect the gentler races.[25]
The Primordials rose to attack the mortal races. The Creators split between the Prime Deities, who wanted to stay and subdue the Primordials for their creations' sake, and the Betrayer Gods, who wished to join with the Primordials and allow chaos to reclaim the world. Demons from the Abyss, drawn by the violence, spilled forth to feast on the carrion. Celestials from a distant realm also emerged to bring order. The Prime Deities sought the celestials' aid.[30][31]
  • In the Age of Arcanum, it was believed that the Primordials had risen up to correct an imbalance caused by the gods granting mortals divine magic.[32] Asmodeus told Zerxus Ilerez the Prime Deities had granted that magic in spite of the gods' promises to the Primordials.[33]
  • By one account, Asmodeus (who claimed to be celestial himself[34]) turned celestials into the first devils;[35] under that fallen angel, they turned to tyranny, and forged new hells.[36] By another account, the Betrayer Gods imposed order on some demons and turned them into devils.[37]
The Prime Deities took up arms, and also gave the mortals knowledge of arcane magic so they could defend themselves without the aid of divine power. The traitorous mortals were driven back, the Betrayer Gods were banished to their own prison-like planes, and the Primordials were destroyed and scattered to their own planes.[36]
Tens of thousands of years before the Divergence After the Prime Deities' victory,[36] Vasselheim, the Dawn City, was founded.[43]
Unknown After the founding of Vasselheim, the races ventured forth to discover new lands. The world was named Exandria.[44]
The Kuul'tevir, noble predecessors of the lizardfolk, built cities with magic nearly on par with the elves'.[45]
An unknown civilization had a settlement in the area that became the Ivyheart Thicket.[46]
Arriving through a portal from the Far Realm, aboleths and other aberrations conquered the Underdark beneath the Bladeshimmer Coast and drove their slaves to build their capital: Salar, the Unseeable City. They slowly began expanding toward the surface, and their psychic energies gradually produced the azuremite of the Crystalfen Caverns.[47]
The end of the Founding Primeval elves felled the Molten Titan, giving birth to the Daggerbay Mountains.[48]

The Age of Arcanum[]

See Age of Arcanum for an overview. The Age of Arcanum includes the Calamity and ends at the Divergence.[49]

Pre-Calamity[]

Year(s) Event
More than 2000 years before the Divergence The Age of Arcanum began.[50]
Possibly pre-Age of Arcanum: more than 1187 years before the Divergence Yug'Voril was established.[52]
Starting more than 1000 years before the Divergence An ancient black dragon-turned-dracolich, Guuthal the Ever-Fed, terrorized the world.[53]
Early Age of Arcanum: well over 687 years before the Divergence, if not longer[54][55]
  • The dwarven Thomara clan dug into a fallen earth titan[56] to exploit a precious metal vein cluster and built a vault city there. The society eventually collapsed into madness and cannibalism.[57]
  • The Vues'dal volcano erupted for the last time, and the mountain collapsed, creating the Vues'dal Basin, which was eventually filled in by the Feshun River and became the Vues'dal Waters.[58]
Close to 664 years before the Divergence The greatest sages of the Age of Arcanum managed to experiment with reversing the flow of time without being killed.[59]
Centuries before the Divergence The increasingly decadent and cruel society of the drow began to primarily worship Lolth, the Spider Queen.[60][61]
292 years before the release of the Betrayer Gods After making the Pact of Crown and Throne with the Gau Drashari druids, and using the rich brumestone veins throughout Mount Ygora, Imyr Por'co lifted the peak of the mountain, turning it into the flying city of Avalir.[62]
Between 119 and 126 years before the release of the Betrayer Gods A mortal mage created rites to challenge the God of Death. She felled him and ascended to godhood[36] (or her ascension instantly destroyed him[63]), and she took his place in the pantheon (but not his entire portfolio[64]) and became the Raven Queen. The other gods quickly destroyed the secrets to the ritual.[63]
  • This is implied to have happened around the time of an apogee solstice.[65]
  • The previous god's "half-son," an empyrean, had been sent to Pandemonium as a temporary punishment, but when the god died, the empyrean was left there and eventually went mad.[66]
  • The day after the Raven Queen's ascension, three of the Raven Queen's heroes—Clay, Stone, and Dust—were tasked with removing the body of one of the heroes of "the war" from a city. Told by the Raven Queen to follow Melora's instructions, they split the body into parts and took the parts to various locations, and built temples that their families protected through the ages: the Clay family tended the Blooming Grove, the Dust family tended the Cinderrest Sanctum on Kravaraad, and the Stone family tended the Menagerie.[67][68]
    • The Blooming Grove is reputed to have been constructed just post-Calamity, which suggests a long period of wandering before settling down.[69]
A century before the Calamity The archmage Vecna's contributions to arcane theory enabled many of the artifacts that would stoke the flames of the Calamity. He began hoarding secrets, killing those who knew them, and achieved lichdom. He amassed a force of followers and undead, disappeared with them into the Shadowfell to conquer Thar Amphala, and there built Entropis.[70]
Decades after Vecna's conquest of Thar Amphala[71][72][73] From Entropis, Vecna used the celestial solstice, a merging of ley energies, to open portals for his forces to attack his enemies at a whim and retreat to Thar Amphala before retaliating forces could muster. Vecna defeated one old rival, Kas, who accepted an offer of eternal life through vampirism in exchange for becoming Vecna's chief lieutenant. Vecna forged a sentient relic blade for Kas, who used it to terrorize Vecna's enemies for months, thereby becoming Kas the Bloody-Handed. Vecna, who had managed to reconstruct the Raven Queen's rites of ascension, then attempted the Ritual of Seeding to ascend to godhood. He was interrupted when the Beacon of Arms, a holy army of Pelor led by his champion Yos Varda, used a reverse-engineered celestial solstice to attack Thar Amphala. Yos Varda, Vecna, and Kas all perished, and Vecna's forces were defeated and scattered, but only a few members of the Beacon of Arms returned victorious.[74][75] Vecna had left instructions for his most devoted followers to carry on the work of raising him to godhood in spite of his death; they founded the Remnants.[76][77]
Unknown The original Cerberus Assembly was formed.[78]
Minotaurs were created as living weapons and guardians.[45]
A cabal of Issylran warlocks consorted with dark entities, resulting in the first tieflings.[79]
Tieflings fleeing religious zealots sailed from Issylra to Gwessar.[79]
Some rock gnomes also migrated from Issylra to Gwessar.[80]
A handful of brumestone-powered flying cities, including Aeor, Avalir, Zemniaz, and a smaller city called Lathras, traveled across Exandria.[81][82][83][84]
In the jungles of eastern Marquet was a city of elven architecture later called Cael Morrow.[85][86]
Seers of a serpentfolk empire foresaw the Calamity; to survive its dangers, the empire created a magical stasis field under their capital city of Vos'sykriss (now Visa Isle) where its strongest people waited to one day emerge and rebuild their empire.[87]
Acek Orattim, priest of Tharizdun, made his base in Gatshadow Mountain, under which Tharizdun had been imprisoned since the Founding. Through Acek, Tharizdun's power twisted and elevated the mountain, riddled it with a maze of tunnels, and corrupted the surrounding region.[88]
The Court of Ullusa, a society of elves in Gwessar, fell, but with several survivors.[89]
"The Care and Culling" took place, wherein caretaker companion automatons gifted by Aeorian political figures to their rivals across Exandria suddenly killed the rivals, ending good relations with the city and making Aeorian technology suspect thereafter.[90]
Just before the Calamity A competing religious force (apparently followers of Zehir) slaughtered the people in the Vault of Shumas and locked it off.[51]
Inspired by the Raven Queen's ascension, archmage Vespin Chloras unsealed the Betrayer Gods from their prisons. They turned on Vespin and made him their first thrall.[36]
The Betrayer Gods quickly created Ghor Dranas.[36][91]
  • Torog's followers used the caves beneath Ghor Dranas as torture dungeons.[92]
Lady Elmenore opened portals to the Feywild for the fey of the Seelie Court to escape from Exandria.[93]
Asmodeus's plot to release two primordial titans, Ka'Mort and Rau'shan, to fight alongside the Betrayers was foiled by Avalir's Ring of Brass, who destroyed the titans.[94] However, Avalir and the continent of Domunas catastrophically exploded, creating a plume of ash that covered Exandria for a century.[95]
Torog tortured the Betrayer Gods' enemies at the Bastille of Torment under the Dunrock Mountains.[96]
The Betrayer Gods and their forces made a surprise attack on Vasselheim, but the city repulsed them with backup from the Prime Deities. The siege lasted for 20 days and nights, reducing much of the city to rubble.[97]

Possibly before or after the Calamity began[]

The Calamity lasted for centuries.[98] The timing of some events is described vaguely enough that they could have taken place before or after the Calamity began.

Year(s) Event
~363 years before the Divergence Leylas Kryn was born.[99]
204 to 5 years before the Divergence Thordak was born.[100]
~189 to 89 years before the Divergence During a celestial solstice, elemental rifts burst open across Exandria, causing fires, earthquakes, and an outpouring of elemental monsters whom the people of the world struggled to combat.[101] The Ashari, up to then a nomadic people, divided into four tribes to seal and watch over the rifts to the Elemental Planes of Fire (Pyrah Tribe), Water (Vesrah Tribe), Air (Zephrah Tribe), and Earth (Terrah Tribe).[102]
~164 years before the Divergence Corellon banished Artagan to the Feywild for tricking an elven culture into worshiping a whale carcass.[103]
Leylas Kryn was present when the first Luxon beacon was found.[104]
Unknown Shattengrod was destroyed.[105]
A warrior named Ganix attempted to strike down Torog with his army, but his army was defeated, and Torog captured and tortured Ganix, twisting him into the Laughing Hand.[106]
Near the beginning of the Calamity Alyxian was born.[28]

The Calamity[]

See The Calamity for an overview. The war that came to be called the Calamity wiped out most of civilization.[107][108]

Year(s) Event
Unknown, early in the Calamity Lolth was one of the earliest casualties of the Calamity, as Kord impaled her with a thunderspear before her soldiers saw battle. Over the years, her most loyal drow servants discovered her pooling blood and drank it, transforming themselves into half-spider hybrids called driders.[109]
  • The leaderless drow were driven from the surface world and had to rebuild in the Underdark; their nobility began to be influenced by Tharizdun.[60]
A catastrophic conflict between warring nations reduced previously verdant lands of Marquet to ash and sand.[110][fn 1]
"Nearly" 187 years before the Divergence The dwarven kingdom of Uthtor was destroyed.[111]
More than 164 years before the Divergence Many mortal societies inclined toward the arcane warred against divine sources of magic. Some of the powerful societies, including Zeidel (the society of the flying city of Zemniaz), began to hunt the gods, hoping to destroy and supplant them. All the deities struck a brief truce and jointly fought back, and quickly destroyed most of those societies.[112]
  • During a momentary armistice, most of the pantheon made a combined assault against the flying city of Aeor, which had developed weapons to kill gods, and the gods' combined might managed to crash but not destroy the city.[113] The Cognouza Ward of Aeor teleported into the Astral Sea to escape the city's destruction.[114]
"Nearly" 164 years before the Divergence Torog and his followers tunneled beneath a woodland in the Cyrios Mountains that was home to reclusive elves who worshiped Sehanine, sinking the plateau into a valley. Torog's servants sapped the life and color from the trees at their roots, creating the Pallid Grove. The elves there retreated beneath the Pallid Grove and became pallid elves.[115]
Unknown The once-tranquil coastal paradise of the Miskath Strand was defiled by the Betrayer Gods and became Blightshore.[116]
In the Ashkeeper Peaks, the dwarven clan of Grimgol was almost wiped out; the survivors burrowed deep and collapsed the established tunnels to buffer against the wars above, and so began centuries of isolation. The mountains they had called home were destroyed.[117]
A wandering colony of elves fleeing the Calamity formed the beginning of what would become the Orroyen tribes of the Rifenmist Peninsula.[118]
Bane transformed many of the dranassar into goblinoids.[119]
As an unknown deity entered Exandria to do battle, a pack of wild hyenas were caught in the divine eminence and became the first gnolls.[109]
Corellon battled Gruumsh, stabbing out his eye.[120] Creation myths hold that the fallen blood of Gruumsh mutated a number of elves into orcs,[121][122] and other fallen elves were fused with their horses, creating centaurs.[123]
  • Afterward, the elves of northern Wildemount, pleading to Corellon for protection, heard no answer, and encased their civilization in ice and fled into the Feywild.[124]
  • Following a short period of fear, some of the first generation of orcs settled harmoniously with elves in Cael Morrow.[125]
Corellon's right hand, the solar Xalicas, was so badly injured that she could not see, fly, or leave Exandria, and had no strength to move for over a century.[22]
Zehir ambushed Melora, and they battled, in what became the Lushgut Forest.[126]
Tharizdun devoured all of the Raven Queen's black-winged angels.[127]
Ioun baited Tharizdun to her central temple, resulting in her near-destruction.[128] Pelor's subsequent vengeful battle with Tharizdun was so violent, it created the valley where the Parchwood Timberlands stand and raised the Alabaster Sierras.[128] Badly defeated and wounded, Tharizdun retreated to Acek Orattim's realm, but Pelor chased and banished Tharizdun there, beneath Gatshadow.[129] The Raven Queen's angels returned as diminished, mortal kenku.[130]
The land bridge connecting Tal'Dorei and Wildemount was shattered, creating the Shearing Channel.[131]
Ioun's public worship was shattered;[132] her following was largely culled.[133] Most of Zehir's worshipers were destroyed as well.[134]
Over the course of the Calamity, all flying cities were wiped out, as far as anyone knows.[135] At least three crashed in Wildemount: Aeor in Eiselcross, Zemniaz in the Zemni Fields, and Kethesk in the Dreemoth Ravine.[136]
  • Zeidel continued to exist well after the fall of Aeor.[137]
  • One of the highest-ranking archmages of Zeidel researched and gathered resources for a ritual to reverse the flow of time, hoping to go back and inform himself of the combined gods' strategy and change the outcome, but he disappeared.[138]
Halas Lutagran became a powerful archmage in Zeidel—well after Aeor's fall, according to him.[139][140][141] The Folding Halls of Halas were constructed during this time.[142][143]
  • As the gods warred with each other, Halas performed arcane experiments; studying non-lichdom paths to immortality, he studied and struggled with the Permaheart Chamber containing the Laughing Hand's heart.[144] Halas became trapped in stasis and went missing.[145][146]
The original Cerberus Assembly tore Desirat, phoenix mount of Asmodeus, from her master and bound her beneath Mount Mentiri for study.[147]
The original Cerberus Assembly was destroyed.[42]
The final battles of the Calamity, less than 163 years before the Divergence The valley that would become the Barbed Fields was ground zero for the final battles of the Calamity.[148] In particular, the Battle of the Barbed Fields was a climactic battle fought by mortals, celestials, and fiends. An army of devotees of the Prime Deities defeated the garrison at the Betrayers' Rise and reached the walls of Ghor Dranas.[149]
  • Alyxian was part of an army that fought Torog's forces to reach the Umbra Gates.[150] Of the company of soldiers that marched into the Betrayers' Rise and fought the demons there, only Alyxian survived, bolstered by Avandra's blessing.[151]
Pelor and Sarenrae drew Torog above ground, defeated him, and banished him to a sliver of the Far Realm that now borders the lowest depths of the Underdark. Torog's tears burned tunnels through Exandria, and his faithful fled into them.[152]
Asmodeus deceived and betrayed Sarenrae, and killed most[153] or all[120] of her worshipers, in one stroke.[fn 2]
Avandra defeated Asmodeus by tricking his armies into fighting each other.[154]
In one of the last battles of the Calamity, Melora and her Free Children battled Bane and his goblinoid legions on the Beynsfal Plateau of the Rifenmist Peninsula, where Bane was defeated and his armor was scattered across the region. The site was reduced to ash, and plants wouldn't grow there ever again.[155]
These final battles had several notable consequences.
After the Battle of the Barbed Fields Gruumsh struck at the heart of Cael Morrow, intending to destroy the continent, but his attack was partly blocked by Alyxian. The blow blasted Cael Morrow into the earth, burned the surrounding jungle to create the deserts and wastelands of Marquet (including the Rumedam Desert and parts of the Hellcatch Valley), and created the Netherdeep, in which Alyxian was trapped.[161][162][163]
Less than a century before the Divergence An extremely slow-burning arcane forest fire started in what later became the Greying Wildlands.[164][165]
Final days of the Calamity The first half-orcs in Wildemount were born.[166]
Immediately before the Divergence With the Betrayer Gods defeated and banished, Melora planted the Arbor Exemplar in the Barbed Fields. The Prime Deities imposed self-exile and created the Divine Gate. Thus ended the Age of Arcanum.
At some point at the end of the Calamity or after the Divergence The Grand Archivist of the Dev-Yat Mahiyi Colleges started an investigation about Aeorian relics, during which Fastidan, one of the Somnovem in Cognouza, contacted him. This mage, inspired by the Eyes of Nine, led an expedition to Foren but his shameful behavior during said mission caused his colleagues and surviving subordinates to condemn his memory and expunge records of his name and his research.[167]

Post-Divergence[]

See Post-Divergence for an overview.

Year(s) Event
Shortly after the Divergence Scavenging drow turned from Lolth and worshiped the Luxon. They ascended from the Underdark to reclaim Ghor Dranas; they were led by House Kryn.[61]
Ioun's followers went into hiding.[168]
The Blooming Grove was built.[169]
Halflings began farming in the Dividing Plains and the foothills of the Cliffkeep Mountains.[170]
"The early years following the Calamity" Druvenlode was established.[171]
Following the Divergence, within a generation Ley energies shifted by the Calamity, and energies left over from the Calamity, caused the accelerated growth and magical flux that gave birth to the Verdant Expanse in an area untouched by the Betrayer Gods.[172]
~12 PD or shortly thereafter Kraghammer was founded by the survivors of Uthtor and led by Clan Jaggenstrike.[173][174]
A generation after the Calamity Wood elves returned from the Feywild united under the sorceress Yenlara, their first leader after the Divergence, and founded the city of Syngorn in the Verdant Expanse.[176][177]
Shortly after 36 PD Uthodurn was founded.[178][179]
Less than a century after the Divergence The arcane forest fire in the future Greying Wildlands finally burned out, but one section of forest survived, which would rebound as the Veluthil Forest. The smoke from the fires took a little longer to clear.[180]
Before 136 PD Halflings began cultivating the Felderwin Tillage.[181]
~136 PD A Luxon beacon was found in Blightshore near the base of the Penumbra Range.[182]
~311 PD or earlier Thordak began ruling over half of Marquet.[183]
After 312, well before 494 PD Humans sailed from Issylra to the western coast of Gwessar, the continent that will later be called Tal'Dorei; their first settlement was the port city of O'Noa.[184]
After 312 PD, some time before 494 PD Humans in western Gwessar spread until they controlled all the western shores, and founded the city of Emon.[185]
  • Humans, finding rich mineral resources in the Othendin Pass, began battling the indigenous stone giants for control of the valley, gradually pushed the giants back, and founded Fort Daxio.[175]
Between ~343 and 385 PD Molaesmyr was founded.[186][187][188]
Around 400 PD An exploration vessel from Marquet reached the Swavain Islands and first established trade with the Ki'Nau. The Marquesians soon returned and established Damali.[189]
After 400 PD, before 635 PD The Wanderman Assembly formed a capitalistic society in the Shattered Teeth after being stranded there by a hurricane.[190]
410 PD The Ki'Nau established a shamanistic site that would expand into the village of Othe when Marquesian explorers discovered that rare and valuable herbs grew well in the surrounding marsh.[191]
~411 PD Joran the Sea-Speaker, hero of the Verdant Expanse and wielder of the Spire of Conflux, ventured into the Endless Maze of the Abyss, where he and the Spire were devoured by Yenk the goristro.[192][193]
Shortly after 412 PD Hill giants wrecked the gnomish city of Wittebak; Kraghammer welcomed the refugees.[194][195]
~436 PD Zadash was founded as a guarded community under the Julous family.[196]
~443 PD Chetney Pock O'Pea was born.[197]
  • This is apparently contradicted by Chetney saying he was still a child during the Icelost Years, which started at least 70 years later.[198]
Probably ~445 PD[199][200][201] Ank'Harel was founded under the rule of J'mon Sa Ord.
  • Shortly thereafter, cultists of Zehir sealed Uk'otoa beneath the ocean floor.
  • The Marquesian colonists of the Menagerie Coast demanded independence, which J'mon Sa Ord eventually granted.[202]
Between 479 and ~504 PD (while Yenlara lived) Warren Drassig rose to power in Emon, established the Kingdom of Drassig, severed diplomatic ties with Syngorn, and made new alliances with Kraghammer. Yenlara's grandson, Syngorn's diplomat to Emon, tried to resolve things diplomatically, but was tortured and killed, kicking off the 32-year Scattered War.[203]
  • The elves of Syngorn established the hidden Emerald Outpost to keep watch on the growing Kingdom of Drassig.[204]
  • Within the next nine years, the port city of O'Noa was devastated in one of the bloodiest battles of the war.[205]

Between 488 PD and ~513 PD (while Yenlara lived) The wood elves and their allies from human colonies oppressed by the Kingdom of Drassig ambushed and killed Warren Drassig at the village of Torthil.

Between 488 PD and ~534 PD Zan Tal'Dorei rallied the resistance, lured Neminar Drassig's forces into the Verdant Expanse, and crushed them there. Warren Drassig's youngest son, Trist, succeeded Neminar.[208]

Shortly after 510 PD The Star of Exaltation, born from a tear Bahamut shed in the Founding, was used as a focus in a ritual to bring the god's intervention to defend Vasselheim against a terrible siege. This destroyed the artifact.[211]
Between 511 PD and ~536 PD Zan Tal'Dorei's forces backed King Trist Drassig's forces into a valley at the base of the Cliffkeep Mountains, but a flood of fiends poured into the battlefield. Against all odds, Zan Tal'Dorei's forces prevailed, ending the Drassig bloodline, the infernal pact the Drassigs had made, and the Scattered War. The blood of the demons thereafter blackened the grass and flowers that grow there, and the area became known as the Umbra Hills; the energies unleashed killed the forest in the valley, afterward known as the Grey Valley.

The leaders of the Verdant Expanse convened a council, crowned Zan Tal'Dorei as Sovereign in a power-sharing arrangement, and named the realm Tal'Dorei.[212][213]

  • The high cleric of the Julous Dominion made a pact with a devil of the Nine Hells to protect against the Empire. Devils and undead swarmed the Marrow Valley, which did offer protection against the Empire but also menaced the residents. The Raven Queen gave one of her priests, Trence Orman, knowledge of blood magic, which he spread to trusted friends. So began the Claret Orders. The Claret Orders purged the valley of the fiends and undead, and Dwendalian forces promptly swept in.[228]

585 PD During the flare of an apogee solstice, Ludinus Da'leth used collected energy he was taking from the crystal well under Molaesmyr and possibly an Aeorian relic to contact Predathos, but his plan caused[230][231] a wave of purple-grey shadow to suddenly engulf Molaesmyr and slowly corrupt the entire Veluthil Forest, causing surviving refugees to flee to Bysaes Tyl or to the Flotket Alps, where they stumbled upon Uthodurn.[232]

Campaign Two: The Mighty Nein[]

For a more granular daily timeline of the campaign, see Timeline of the Mighty Nein.

16 Sydenstar to 2 Fessuran 835 PD (Days 1 through 19)

3 Fessuran to 13 Quen'pillar 835 PD (Days 20 through 59)

  • The Mighty Nein were the victors in a fighting tournament at Zadash's Harvest Close Festival. They learned the Dwendalian Empire was declaring war on the Kryn Dynasty, beginning the War of Ash and Light.
  • The Mighty Nein accepted two offers of work from the Gentleman, taking them farther north. The first job was to investigate the Gentleman's Safe House, which had become nonresponsive. On the way to the safe house, they briefly allied with Calianna Mordsson, who sought to destroy a bowl of communion with Tiamat, which turned out to be in the possession of the merrow who had invaded the safe house.
  • After clearing the merrow threat and destroying the bowl, the Mighty Nein continued northeast through Hupperdook toward Shadycreek Run for the second job: clearing up complications for Ophelia Mardoon. One night on the road, a party of slavers called the Iron Shepherds kidnapped Yasha, Fjord, and Jester.
  • The remainder of the party picked up Keg, a former member of Iron Shepherds. Together they attempted to ambush the Iron Shepherds' caravan, but failed to defeat the Shepherds or free the prisoners, and Mollymauk died in the attempt. The remaining members joined forces with Nila, whose family had recently been abducted by the Iron Shepherds, and they continued to Shadycreek. The complication for Mardoon turned out to be the Iron Shepherds; the party visited the Blooming Grove to pick up one more ally, Caduceus Clay, and they assaulted the Iron Shepherds' fortress, killing the slavers and freeing Nila's family. Caduceus joined the Mighty Nein as they returned to Mardoon and accompanied her back to Zadash.

14 Quen'pillar to 28 Duscar 835 PD (Days 60 through 131)

  • The Mighty Nein traveled south to Nicodranas on the Menagerie Coast. In Nicodranas they rescued Khedive Xundi, a marid who had been enslaved to keep the water flowing in the city. While interrupting a shady deal, they hijacked a ship, then sailed out toward Urukayxl, where they met Captain Avantika and learned of Uk'otoa.
  • The party explored Urukayxl and the Temple of the False Serpent. Avantika placed a Cloven Crystal, breaking the first of three seals binding Uk'otoa.
  • The Mighty Nein and Avantika's crew sailed to Darktow Isle. After an attempted heist on Avantika's ship turned into an open battle, the Mighty Nein revealed Avantika's designs against the Plank King, who executed Avantika. Still, the Nein were banished from Darktow, and they set sail to find the wreck of Vandran's ship, the Tide's Breath. At the wreckage of the Tide's Breath in the Diver's Grave, they found the last Cloven Crystal.
  • The party discovered a stowaway, Twiggy, who introduced them to the Heirloom Sphere. The party (sans Yasha) inadvertently explored an extra-planar dungeon with Twiggy, who helped them defeat a young blue dragon within and escape, then left the Heirloom Sphere in their possession.
  • The Mighty Nein sought out the second temple of Uk'otoa, found it underwater between the three islands of the Gravid Archipelago, broke the second seal containing Uk'otoa, and wrecked an attacking pirate ship.
  • They sailed back to Nicodranas and struck an alliance with Yussa Errenis, who got to keep the Heirloom Sphere for study, but would share insights about the Sphere and the Luxon beacon, and gave the party access to the teleportation circle within Yussa's tower.

29 Duscar 835 PD to 15 Misuthar 836 PD (Days 132 through 179)

  • The Mighty Nein traveled to Felderwin, which had recently been attacked by the Kryn Dynasty. They determined Nott's husband Yeza Brenatto was still alive and in Rosohna, and began following the tunnel the Kryn forces had left behind.
  • After exiting the tunnel, the party fought off a Kryn ambush and made its way to Asarius, where they met up with Dairon and, by discovering and neutralizing an Abyssal Anchor that was causing a demon incursion beneath the city, ingratiated themselves with the local leadership to secure teleportation to Rosohna.
  • In a tense audience with the the Bright Queen, the Nein returned the stolen Luxon beacon and were rewarded as heroes.
  • The Mighty Nein cleared a stone giant incursion at the Dynasty's Deepriver Mining Camp by helping the giants rid their home of a demon infestation that was caused by yet another Abyssal Anchor.
  • The party was given their own manor in Rosohna, the Xhorhaus, and deepened their acquaintance with Shadowhand Essek Thelyss.
  • The party scried on the person responsible for placing the Abyssal Anchors, Vence Nuthaleus, who turned out to be a cultist of the Angel of Irons. This unexpectedly garnered valuable intelligence from a Dwendalian Empire war meeting, which they reported to the Dynasty.
  • The Nein pounced on a meeting related to the cultist conspiracy at the Overcrow Apothecary, and chased an individual connected to Yasha's past, Obann. The party tracked him to a lost tomb outside of Bazzoxan. There Obann released the Laughing Hand and mind-controlled Yasha as he (temporarily) fell, so that the Nein had to flee without her.
  • The party warned the Bright Queen about the Laughing Hand and visited an imprisoned Scourger.

16 Misuthar to 8 Dualahei 836 PD (Days 180 through 202)

  • With Dairon emplaced at the Xhorhaus, the party teleported to Nicodranas, where Yeza, Luc, and Nott (real name Veth) were reunited.
  • The party returned to Rosohna before Essek teleported them to Kravaraad Volcano. There Fjord repudiated his patron Uk'otoa, throwing the Sword of Fathoms into the lava of Kravaraad.
  • The party traveled to Uthodurn and spoke to accomplished blacksmith Umagorn Smeltborne about the materials required to reforge a magical sword. The party fell in with Reani, a local hero, and they were all eventually teleported to Mythburrow, home of Gelidon, the Nightmare in Ivory, to make use of its icy breath to produce iceflex for the sword.
  • The party pulled off a smuggler heist in Uthodurn, traded the stolen goods for refined residuum, and brought Umagorn to Kravaraad to reforge Dwueth'var the Star Razor. Fjord began a new path.
  • The party returned to Rosohna, interrogated the Scourger, and learned that Obann's party was in Zadash, searching the the Valley Archive of the Cobalt Soul after having massacred its staff.
  • The party teleported to Nicodranas and trekked to Zadash. They learned Obann's party was headed for a location in the Lotusden Greenwood, teleported to chase them, and failed to stop Obann from acquiring the last piece required to reconstruct Jourrael, an immortal assassin.

9 Dualahei to 13 Thunsheer 836 PD (Days 203 through 236)

  • The party teleported to Nicodranas, where they learned Yussa Errenis had gone into the Heirloom Sphere and had not returned. They obtained the aid of Allura Vysoren, an archmage from the foreign land of Tal'Dorei.
  • The party traversed the Heirloom Sphere, where time passed much more slowly than in Exandria. The party attacked the Permaheart, severely weakening the Laughing Hand. The party met a trapped ancient archmage, eventually freed Yussa from a prison, and harvested parts from the young blue dragon before leaving the dungeon.
    • During this time, Kryn forces attacked Hupperdook.[420]
  • The party returned to Nicodranas. Through a ritual, Allura revealed the true form of the Angel of Irons.
    • Around this date, a group of people resurrected Mollymauk Tealeaf's body.[421]
  • The party teleported to Zadash to meet with Dairon, Oremid Hass, and Pumat Sol. After fending off a surprise attack by Jourrael, the party reconnected with the Gentleman, who admitted to Jester that he was her father.
  • The party teleported to Rexxentrum to cut off the next step in the plan of the Angel of Irons cult. After killing the Laughing Hand and Obann, and freeing Yasha and Jourrael from Obann's domination, they met with the leaders of the Dwendalian Empire to discuss the next steps.

14 Thunsheer to 10 Unndilar 836 PD (Days 237 through 264)

  • The Mighty Nein set the groundwork for a ceasefire in the War of Ash and Light.
  • Caleb, Nott, and Essek attempted Widogast's Transmogrification for the first time, and discovered that Isharnai, the hag who transformed Nott from a halfling to a goblin, was blocking any attempt to transform her back into a halfling.
  • The party traveled by way of Kamordah into the Cyrios Mountains to make a deal with Isharnai and magically tricked her into relinquishing the curse.
  • The Nein teleported to Whitedawn Lagoon to pursue Caduceus's quest; he reunited with his family and freed the petrified Stone family. Along the way, the Traveler revealed his true identity to Jester and to the Nein.
  • To prepare for the voyage to the peace negotiations, the Nein teleported to Nicodranas, where Nott the Brave transformed back into Veth Brenatto and the party discovered Essek was a traitor who had started the war by smuggling the Luxon beacons to the Cerberus Assembly.
  • The party sailed to the peace negotiations, which were successful. Along the way, they fended off an attack from deep scions sent by Uk'otoa and met with Vess DeRogna, who offered them future employment.

11 Unndilar to 12 Brussendar 836 PD (Days 265 through 294)

  • The Nein sailed southward toward the location of the upcoming Traveler Con, Rumblecusp, encountering a dragon turtle along the way. On Rumblecusp they discovered a village where people had forgotten their previous lives and were in thrall to a morkoth named Vokodo. The Nein confronted Vokodo, saw a vision of a living city and "Eyes of Nine" during Vokodo's death throes, and helped the villagers come to terms with their predicament. One villager turned out to be Keyleth's mother, Vilya, who returned to Zephrah.
  • The Nein made preparations for Traveler Con. On the big day, with great spectacle, the Traveler successfully unloaded many followers on Sehanine, and learned a lesson along the way.
  • The Nein, seeking knowledge about the Eyes of Nine, teleported first to Yussa in Nicodranas and then to Yudala Fon in the Rexxentrum Archive of the Cobalt Soul.
  • Vess DeRogna hired the Nein to help investigate the ruins of Aeor.
  • Before leaving with Vess, the Nein had dinner with Trent Ikithon, Astrid Becke, and Eadwulf Grieve. And questions about Eyes of Nine led to speculation about the Nonagon and Cree, and research into the Tombtakers. The party discovered Mollymauk's body was no longer in its grave and was instead trudging through snow somewhere.
  • Vess and the Mighty Nein teleported to Palebank Village and sailed to Balenpost. On the first night in Balenpost, Lucien killed Vess in her room.

13 Brussendar to 13 Sydenstar 836 PD (Days 295 through 326)

  • The Mighty Nein, learning more about the Nonagon, began their trek north toward location A2. At the A5 excavation site they encountered the Tombtakers, then leapfrogged the Tombtakers to site A2.
  • The party happened upon seven statues that revealed the Tombtakers' goal to bring back the living city from the Astral Sea. The statues took several years of Jester's life.
  • The party arrived at A2 and secured a threshold crest (small numbers of which can be used to teleport cities between planes), but the Tombtakers caught up with them. The two parties struck a deal to travel together toward the main Aeor crash site.
  • Gelidon attacked the parties but was wounded and retreated. That evening, the Tombtakers stole away with the Nein's Bag of Holding containing the threshold crest. The Nein pursued and did battle, fleeing with the Tombtakers' own threshold crest and disposing of it with teleportion, greatly delaying the Tombtakers.
  • The Nein made their way to Aeor and then to Essek Thelyss. Essek counseled them to find more help, which they sought in Nicodranas from Yussa Errenis and Halas Lutagran, then in Emon from Allura Vysoren and Lady Kima of Vord, then in Rexxentrum from Yudala Fon and Dairon.
  • The party infiltrated the Vergesson Sanatorium to steal amulets to protect against scrying. Caleb, Veth, and Jester were confronted by Trent Ikithon before the party escaped to Nicodranas. With Trent and his lackeys in pursuit, the party fled with Veth and Jester's family members through the Elemental Plane of Fire and to Zadash, where they left their families with the Gentleman at the Evening Nip.
  • After checking in with the Clay family in the Blooming Grove, the party Teleported back to Eiselcross, arriving significantly off-target, and began the trek to the Kryn outpost where Essek was.
  • With Essek having joined the party, they traveled to the secret entrance to the ruins that they believed the Tombtakers planned to use and explored within. They set traps that killed three of the Tombtakers, and chased Cree and Lucien deeper into the ruins. Ultimately they passed through the Genesis Ward of Aeor and into the Astral Sea. In Cognouza they encountered several of the Somnovem, killed Cree, and defeated Lucien after he transformed into Cognouza Incarnate. With the aid of the Wildmother, they were able to return a more benign soul to Lucien's body.
  • They then returned to the Blooming Grove, and brought Veth's family there. They were soon attacked by Trent Ikithon, Astrid, and Eadwulf. With some magical encouragement, Astrid and Eadwulf turned on Trent, who was then captured.
  • Astrid and Eadwulf helped Beau turn over Trent Ikithon, with evidence of his crimes, to the Cobalt Soul. The Cobalt Soul started building a new task force of investigators to undermine the Cerberus Assembly.
  • Essek returned to Vurmas, Caduceus stayed in the Blooming Grove, and the rest of the Nein and Veth's family returned to Nicodranas.

  • Leylas Kryn used the Stormlord's Heart to send a near-living echo of herself into the Dreadnest to retrieve Quana and the beacon. Though the retrieval was successful, Lolth killed the echo.
  • Quana became pregnant with the child conceived of the Luxon. People reported dreams and seeing signs. Leylas Kryn took the opportunity to make a diplomatic tour to extend the Dynasty's influence and worship of the Luxon, but traumatic memories of her echo's death led to a disaster during her mission to Xarzith Kitril.
  • The prophesied child, Caelestis Kryn, was born.
  • As a toddler, Caelestis briefly turned into a monster and killed two guards. Leylas, understanding that Lolth had corrupted the sixth beacon, the child, and her own judgment, ordered that Caelestis be imprisoned and then killed outside the range of the Luxon beacons. Quana and Caelestis mortally wounded each other, but both were returned within the range of a beacon before dying, so they were reborn.

Three groups—Imogen Temult and Laudna, Fresh Cut Grass and Ashton, and the trio of Fearne Calloway, Orym, and Dorian Storm—responded to a disturbance caused by animated objects in Jrusar, after which Bertrand Bell offered to make introductions to Lord Ariks Eshteross, who seeks talent.

After Campaign Three[]

Year(s) Event
~855 PD With the help of Abrianna Mirimm, a reborn and then-adolescent Quana Kryn underwent anamnesis, recalling memories from her past life.[450]
~Before 911 PD Lord Percival de Rolo III died. His widow, Lady Vex'ahlia de Rolo, continued serving Whitestone for a time as Baroness of the Third House of Whitestone (her original title, before marrying Percy) and Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt.[491]
~911 PD An already retired Uvenda of the Water Ashari, then a tale-teller for her people, was visited in Vesrah by researchers of the Cobalt Soul interested in clarifying details about Keyleth's Aramenté.[492]

Miscellaneous dates and times[]

  • The post-Divergence calendar begins with year 0 (zero), rather than starting with 1.[6]
  • Kashaw and Vesh consummated their marriage on his fifteenth "name-day" (the same as a birthday?). Kashaw also tried to kill her at that time.[493]
  • As ancient dragons, Thordak, Vorugal, Umbrasyl, and Raishan were all over 800 years old when they attacked Emon in late 810 PD.
    • Thordak was older than Raishan.[494]
    • Brimscythe was between the ages of "young" and "adult", meaning he was less than 100 years old.
  • The storm giants' flying city of Tempestar was destroyed "centuries" ago, "in times long past," and thus their seat on the Council of Seven Scepters has remained empty "for generations," as of 812 PD.[495]

Footnotes[]

  1. This event may have been retconned. This account was followed by other sources explaining more definitively that the Rumedam Desert and part of the Hellcatch Valley were created late in the Calamity due to an attack by Gruumsh (see below). This doesn't quite exclude the possibility that both events happened and scarred Marquet, but it is suggestive.
  2. This presumably happened after Sarenrae defeated Torog.
  3. 3.0 3.1 The timelines of the two parties don't match up. There are at least two possible explanations: either Team Wildemount's failed Teleports sent them backwards in time, or the magic of the Solstice transported those it affected not only to random physical locations but also to random times, moving Team Issylra a few days into the future.

  468. See "The Nameless Ones" (E1x01) at 10:39.  Dorian's "last few days and weeks" had been more exciting than anything before, implying that's when he began adventuring. This tracks with him being only a 2nd-level bard.

Fy'ra Rai had estimated that they might reach Niirdal-Poc in a month from Byroden if they were lucky, so for now this treats the longer time period as correct.
