Not for the ‘Space game’ but for a different idea called The World of Man. Just a breif and poorly designed graphic showing the timeline of the World of Man and it’s inhabitants.

Sometimes making a timeline for your story is fun and other times it is this

deciding what year it is in a fantasy world is absolutely excrutiating

TIMELINE TUESDAY #1

Welcome to the first Timeline Tuesday! The chronology of Broken Dimensions is perhaps the most complex thing to explain, and is one of the only elements of the story universe that does not get an in-text explanation within any of the 3 focal stories. Therefore, I've decided it would be best to share the full timeline on its own!

Every week for the next month or so, I'll be sharing information relating to the chronological timeline of Broken Dimensions, starting with the simple breakdown and continuing on through the Era-by-Era breakdown. This is to help folks understand the mythology of the Pantheon of gods in BrDim, and to break things down into palatable blocks of words.

So, without further ado: the Broken Dimensions historical timeline (simple version)!

»--•--«

BASIC ERA BREAKDOWN

Era 1 — the creation era; lasts around 1300 years. Ends with Crisis 1, the gods' war for balance.

Era 2 — Lasts approximately 850 years. Ends with Crisis 2 when the god Maikoa attempts to undo the results of the War for Balance.

Era 3 — closest in aesthetic and technology to our time in the real world, lasts about 2100 years before Crisis 3 occurs and the origin world, [ x ], is cleaved from its subdivision world, Svarenheil, to create Adreoni (later known as the center of the Darekaeiin quadrant).

Prophecy Lost takes place in the last century of this Era.

Era 4 — lasts 1,713 years to the day and comes to an end when Tartarus is created as a prison dimension for seven cruel, nearly immortal mages (Crisis 4).

Era 5 — lasts around 2205 years, ends with an interdimensional war as Adreoni and [ x ] achieve interdimensional travel and rediscover each other (Crisis 5).

Era 6 — lasts 300 years exactly and is brought to end with a ceasefire that halts the Three Hundred-Year War (still called "Crisis" 6 despite there being no real "crisis" event... unless you were the ones funding the war).

Era 7 — lasts 1032 years and ends when the tentative peace between Tartarus, Aetheria, and Adreoni is broken and they devolve into war again. Crisis 7 occurs when Aetheria immedately and surprisingly stands down, then closes off an entire quadrant of voidspace around their dimension, effectively claiming several satellites and the majority of Adreoni and Tartarus's invasion forces.

Era 8 — lasts 3037 years, ends abruptly when an incursion between the Old Aetherian Empire and outside attackers is stopped by an unexpected demigod and Aetheria's archipelago is revealed to be a magic field-generator of sorts. Calls the wayward gods back to set reality to rights after millennia of their absence. Involves time stopping for approximately three hours (Crisis 8).

Era 9 — an era of time anomalies after the effort of healing reality in Crisis 8 leads to the death of the god of time. Everything is normal for several hundred years, but after Xellarian dies, things get weird for an odd perceived 5-7,500 years. In reality, the stretched era timeframe lasted a whopping 10,602 years in total (unbeknownst to everyone who actually lived through it). Ended when a crazy experiment destroyed the Adreoni dimension quadrant (Crisis 9).

Era 10 — the current era, lasts at least 2050 years.

This is the era in which most Broken Dimensions stories take place, including Fractal Alliances and The Lycanthra Syndicate.

THE MATH

When everything is added up, Broken Dimensions universe comes out to be roughly 25,200 years old!

And that’s it for the basic timeline of Broken Dimensions! If you're not much for reading, these short blurbs are all you need to understand the timeline, and you're good to go! I'm glad you stopped by to read this. That said, for those of you who enjoy worldbuilding and lots of reading: don’t worry, there will be multiple follow-up posts tackling about 3 Eras at a time.

Keep an eye out for those posts over the course of the next few days/weeks!

Until then, take care and stay tuned for more <3
