Time of Cascading Years (Year 2325-2543)

Year 2325

 Time becomes subjective, with different locations experiencing different durations. This
era is measured from when this time split started to when it ended and time become
universally applied again. Convention holds that this period is "officially counted" as 217
years long, but this a mostly arbitrary decision based on the time reference of the
historians doing the labeling. To some, the period lasts a single afternoon. Within this
section, each subjective timeline will be referenced independently, using "Cascading
Years" (CY) as a subjective measurement from when this era begins. (Lands of Creation,
pg. 17)

Heaven's timeline

 For heaven and all immaterial spirts, no time passes. (Lands of Creation, pg. 17)
Merela's timline

 CY 1000: Era ends. (Lands of Creation, pg. 17)

Autochthonian timeline

While no official word exists on how Autochthonia experiences this timeline, it seems likely,
being Elsewhere, that they experience it the same way that Heaven does: with no time passing.
Since the Autochthonian time line is the only canonical one that spans the First Age to the
present in a known number of years, this assumption will be used in the rest of this document
when trying to determine the relation between First Age dates and RY 0. It is also assumed that
Realm historians "officially" count the duration of the Time of Cascading years as 217 years.
Naturally, events currently reckoned to have happened "3000 years ago" depend significantly on
what timeline you are looking through.

In any case, if these assumption are true, the following relations exist:

Event First Age Autochthonia Realm

History begins 0 -121 -4448
Autochthon leaves Creation 121 0 -4327
Start of Time of Cascading Years 2325 2204 -2123
End of Time of Cascading Years 2543 2204 -1906

Present 5217 4878 768

RY 768

Present year.

Approximate dates for other time keeping systems:

Year of the Shogunate: 1468

Elder Reckoning: 5317

And the Future!

The events chronicled in this section are only quasi canonical, based on the timeline outlined in
Time of Tumult, weather they will or will not happen in your game is up to me and the
involvement or lack of same of your characters. Be advised that any or all of what follows may
be considered spoilers, you have been warned.

RY 770

Gem falls to the Locust Crusade, its people are slaughtered or enslaved by the Yugashites.

RY 771

The Lap is besieged by the Yugashites, however their grasp of creations's trade networks and
siege craft is rudimentary at best and they leave Port Rawar open and active as a trading point for
the city for "several months".

RY 772

Faced with starvation and plague the people of The Lap turn on the Realm garrison and sell them
out to the Yugashite army. The Lap negotiates terms of surrender and is absorbed into Yugash's
territorial possessions in creation.

RY 773

The Realm counter attacks against the Yugashite forces, but fails due to their superior technology
and it's own internal divisions thanks to the looming Realm Civil War. The Yugashite Army may
respond in force against An-Teng as a reprisal.
