Tera Lore Timeline: Present History (Headcanon Lore)

Years not canon compliant. Follows Gregorian calendar and earliest NA/EUTera patch release dates. Only confirmed canon year is that the Argon War ended in 276 VC. I simply matched it up with the Argon Corpus patch release date and went from there

Beginning of 275 VC Island of Dawn rises from the sea. (Korean Tera is first launched in January 2011) Stepstone Isle Gifted Children are put into an eternal sleep by Argon spy, Samael. (While this patch was added in 2015, it is meant to replace the Island of Dawn)

Late 275 VC Reapers emerge upon the destruction of Pora Elinu from the Orcans (While this patch was added in 2014, the Reaper begins story quests around LvL 50 after they finish their personal quest and fight Thulsa. This means that Pora Elinu is destroyed before the Argon War ends.)

Late 276 VC Argon War finally ends (Manaya’s Core dungeon patch added in August 2012)

Late 278 VC Northern Arun Second Expedition begins (Fate of Arun patch added in December 2014)

Early 279 VC Skycastles are discovered and formed for a time (Patch added in February 2015 until removed)

Beginning of 282 VC Red Raiders emerge as new threat to Arborea (Guardian Legion quests patch added in January 2018)

Mid 282 VC Karakhir, son of legendary blacksmith Muhrak, is captured by the Red Raiders and the Federation is sent to investigate. Hennika, a Castanic girl whose brother died at the hands of Gulas around 275 (sidequest), is discovered to be the brains behind the Red Raiders organization. Argog, a friend of Hennika’s, is defeated but the Player is accused of treason by Aktam but later proves their innocence. (Red Refuge dungeon patch added in May 2018) (Antaroth’s Abyss dungeon patch is added in June 2018)

Early/Mid 282 VC Velika Banquet. Velik is killed until Mystel intervenes. Khemadia, the black dragon, is defeated. Mystel uses too much of her power and leaves the fate of Arborea to the mortals. (Godsfall Apex patch is added in April 2018)

Tera Lore Timeline: Basic History

The Age of Deities

[The Age of Deities was a period of creation brought upon by the original twelve gods of Arborea, who were "dreampt up" by the titans Shara and Arun. The Age of Deities ended violently with the War of the Gods, leaving most of the gods dead or imprisoned.]

-? VC Twelve in all were created, had godlike power. These new creations were the Gods themselves.

-? VC. Centuries passed, and deserts, mountains, rivers, and forests grew upon Arun and Shara. Yet still they slept.

-? VC War of the Gods: Begins A war between the deities of Arborea presumed to have occurred a thousand years ago. Gods pulled in the morals races into the war.(Assuming that this was right it would put the war end around  -8,900.)

-10,000 VC Karas created the Elves

-10,000 VC Amarun created the Amani on the continent Arun.

-9,900 VC Amani and Deva empires scrabbled over Human lands in a war that weakened both.

-9,500 VC to  -5,400 VC The Amani are enslaved by the Giants.

-8,900 VC War of the Gods: Ends

 The Age of Mortals

-5,400 VC At the request of Kaia, Lok and his Deva artisans liberate the Amani from the remaining Giants.

-5,000 VC The Amani drove out the Giants, tore down all they'd built, and raised a new city to honor their savior: Kaiator.

-3,000 VC The Elves separate into different factions, the High Elves migrate from Arun to Shara.

-3,000 VC Allemantheia is founded.

-? VC Gidd places The Diapora upon the Humans race. Lore has it that the ancestors of the humans were jealous of their creators’ powers, and stole some possessions from the last of the creators, Gidd. Afterward, Gidd found out who stole his precious possessions and killed them, but the punishment was not enough to satisfy him. He also put a curse on the whole human race, which spread throughout the land for 2000 years. The fact that humans have started to gather and civilize is only recent history.
