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.
While the official timeline provided by Critical Role includes only the main elements of canon media, the information below also includes less known Exandrian canon and semi-canon, always clarifying their source.
Fan-made speculative timeline of Exandria as of the end of Campaign Three, by Durandal's Fate.[art 2]
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:
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
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]
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 Vysorenappeared 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.
Finally, on the grander time scale, Campaign One offered wildly different lengths for the Age of Arcanum. Vasselheim is said to have been established toward the end of the Founding, after the defeat of the Primordials,[22] and in "Enter Vasselheim" (1x16) it is believed that Vasselheim is "tens of thousands of years" old.[23] Later in the season, in "Curious Tides" (1x89), the Age of Arcanum is seemingly confirmed to have been multiple millennia long.[24] However, the description of the ancient city of Thomara in 812 PD suggests that "early Age of Arcanum" could be much more recent. In one episode, the city was said to have collapsed "thousands of years ago",[25] but in the next episode, its collapse in the "early Age of Arcanum" is described as merely "well over 1500 years" ago, "if not longer".[26]
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.[27] The Luxon traveled without much comprehension, knowing only that they were light in the darkness, and occasionally passed other things of light.[28]
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[27] and the Luxon.[29] 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?"[27]
Other creation myths: Elemental titans called Primordials claimed the world as their own and dwelt deep beneath its surface.[30]
A primordial titan seed was planted in the area that would later become the Rifenmist Jungle.[31]
Entities of boundless possibility, who had dwelt in Tengar, fled from an annihilating force—presumably Predathos—and began to take finite form as gods. They crashed upon the chaotic world, where they were immediately confronted by monstrous creatures who already resided there.[33][34] They 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.[30]
A dark, alien power called Predathos seeped into reality, descended on an island city, 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, along with the people of that city, 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.[35][36][37]
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.[38][39]
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.[40]Asmodeus told Zerxus Ilerez the Prime Deities had granted that magic in spite of the gods' promises to the Primordials.[41]
By one account, Asmodeus (who claimed to be celestial himself[42]) turned celestials into the first devils;[43] under that fallen angel, they turned to tyranny, and forged new hells.[44] By another account, the Betrayer Gods imposed order on some demons and turned them into devils.[45]
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.[44]
Early Age of Arcanum: well over 687 years before the Divergence, if not longer[62][63]
The dwarven Thomara clan dug into a fallen earth titan[64] to exploit a precious metal vein cluster and built a vault city there. The society eventually collapsed into madness and cannibalism.[65]
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.[66]
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.[67]
Centuries before the Calamity
A long-forgotten barbarian people disappeared from Far Hharom.[68]
After making the Pact of Crown and Throne with the Gau Drasharidruids, 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.[71]
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[44] (or her ascension instantly destroyed him[73]), and she took his place in the pantheon (but not his entire portfolio[74]) and became the Raven Queen. The other gods quickly destroyed the secrets to the ritual.[73]
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.[76]
Less than two decades after the Matron's ascension
The Raven Queen claimed Letherna as her divine realm in the Shadowfell, and gained many followers in the same plane.[77]
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.[78]
Decades after Vecna's conquest of Thar Amphala[79][80][81]
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 the Dawnfather 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.[82][83] 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.[84][85]
Possibly decades before the Calamity
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.[86][87]
In the jungles of eastern Marquet was a city of elven architecture later called Cael Morrow.[95][96]
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.[97]
"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.[99]
Just before the Calamity
A competing religious force (apparently followers of the Cloaked Serpent) slaughtered the people in the Vault of Shumas, occupied the sanctum, and sealed it off.[59]
Inspired by the Raven Queen's ascension, archmage Vespin Chloras of Vasselheim attempted an elaborate ritual suspected to be inspired by the Ritual of Seeding,[100][101] but different and riskier,[102] apparently directed at dethroning one of the Betrayer Gods.[103] The attempt went badly awry.[104]
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.[108] However, Avalir and the continent of Domunas catastrophically exploded, creating a plume of ash that covered Exandria for a century.[109]
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.[110]
Possibly before or after the Calamity began
The Calamity lasted for centuries.[111] The timing of some events is described vaguely enough that they could have taken place before or after the Calamity began.
See The Calamity for an overview.
The war that came to be called the Calamity wiped out most of civilization.[115][116][117]
Year(s)
Event
Unknown, early in the Calamity
The Spider Queen was one of the earliest casualties of the Calamity, as the Stormlord 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.[118][119]
The leaderless drow were driven from the surface world and had to rebuild in the Underdark; their nobility began to be influenced by the Chained Oblivion.[69]
A catastrophic conflict between warring nations reduced previously verdant lands of Marquet to ash and sand.[124][fn 1][125]
~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.[126] The Ashari, who until that time had been 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).[127][128][117]
"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 the Moonweaver, 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.[129]
Before Torog incarnated in mortal form
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.[130][131]
Starting more than a century before the final battles of the Calamity, half a century before the fall of Aeor
Many of the gods disappeared, having called a truce and created mortal-born avatars who would grow up to infiltrate Aeor. The Platinum Dragon and the Lawbearer did not join them.[134][135][136]
More than 100 years into the Calamity, about 50 years before the Divergence
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 totally destroy the city.[139][140][141][142][143] The Cognouza Ward of Aeor teleported into the Astral Sea to escape the city's destruction.[144]
Presumably shortly after this, the Lord of the Hells' curse affecting the All-Hammer was discovered, and the Platinum Dragon plunged into mortal form himself as Erro Mordaurum.[145][146]
Unknown
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.[147][148][149]
A handful of other cities had tried to rise to Aeor's grandeur. Zeidel existed after the fall of Aeor.[150]
All flying cities were wiped out, as far as anyone knows,[151] At least two crashed in Wildemount: Zemniaz fell in the Zemni Fields,[152] and Kethesk came to rest in the Dreemoth Ravine after the Calamity.[153]
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.[154]
Torog tortured the Betrayer Gods' enemies at the Bastille of Torment under the Dunrock Mountains.[155] Torog's followers used the caves beneath Ghor Dranas as torture dungeons.[156]
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.[158]
The Arch Heart battled the Ruiner, stabbing out his eye.[121] Creation myths hold that the fallen blood of Gruumsh caused fallen elves to be fused with their horses, creating centaurs,[162] and also mutated a number of elves into orcs,[163][164] but while the event created orc-like beings under Gruumsh, in fact orcs predated the Calamity.[165][166]
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.[167]
Following a short period of fear, some orcs settled harmoniously with elves in Cael Morrow.[168] At least some of the elves who worked with orcs to build the city were drow.[169]
The Arch Heart's right hand, the solarXalicas, was so badly injured that she could not see, fly, or leave Exandria, and had no strength to move for over a century.[27]
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 the Wildmother'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.[176][177][178][179]
The Blooming Grove is reputed to have been constructed just post-Calamity.[180]
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.[186] Halas became trapped in stasis and went missing.[187][188]
Alyxian was part of an army that fought Torog's forces to reach the Umbra Gates.[196] Of the company of soldiers that marched into the Betrayers' Rise and fought the demons there, only Alyxian survived, bolstered by the Changebringer's blessing.[197]
The Dawnfather and the Everlight drew the Crawling King above ground, defeated him, and banished him to a sliver of the Far Realm that now borders the lowest depths of the Underdark. The Crawling King's tears burned tunnels through Exandria, and his faithful fled into them.[198]
At some point after the Battle of the Barbed Fields, the Ruiner 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.[199][200][201]
In one of the last battles of the Calamity, the Wildmother and her Free Children battled the Strife Emperor and his goblinoid legions on the Beynsfal Plateau of the Rifenmist Peninsula, where he was defeated and his armor scattered across the region. The site was reduced to ash, and plants wouldn't grow there ever again.[202][203] The Dawnfather and the Stormlord apparently participated in this ambush.[204]
Days later, the Stormlord told a group of mortals that the gods would be leaving.[206]
Several days later, an army of unicorns and elves serving the Arch Heart, along with griffons, routed a devil army of the Lord of the Hells in the valley that would become the Mornset Countryside. At that time, only two Betrayer Gods remained on Exandria.[207]
By this time, several of the Prime Deities were believed to be captured or missing within Exandria.[214]
In cataclysmic battles on Wildemount, beings of raw divine energy made a last push to defeat the Lord of the Hells and the Scaled Tyrant.[215] The Battle of Ghor Dranas reduced much of that city to ash and dust[216] and its fall was announced soon thereafter.[217]
Duana, High Priest of the Dawnfather, fell in the Battle of Ghor Dranas; she is said to have been wearing the Plate of the Dawnmartyr at the time.[218]
Quajath was thought to be slain, but it burrowed deep beneath Eiselcross and got stuck there.[221]
The body of Jourrael, the Spider Queen's chosen assassin, was split into pieces and sealed in separate secret locations, for lack of a way to kill her.[222]
The final battle of the Calamity sent strong waves of magical force through Exandria, unintentionally causing the collapse of most of the Crystalfen Caverns and the fall of the aberrations' civilization there.[56]
With the Betrayer Gods defeated and banished, the Wildmother planted the Arbor Exemplar in the Barbed Fields. The Prime Deities imposed self-exile and finished all but the final touches of the Divine Gate. Thus ended the Age of Arcanum.
The Gate could not be completed while any gods, even in mortal form, remained on Exandria. Garen Hearthheart, the All-Hammer's mortal incarnation, remained behind unaware.[226]
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.[231]
~12 PD or shortly thereafter
Kraghammer was founded by the survivors of Uthtor and led by Clan Jaggenstrike.[232][233]
In the centuries that followed, the dwarves of Kraghammer contested with indigenous stone giants for control of the Othendin Pass.[235]
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.[236][237]
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.[240][241]
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.[245]
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.[246]
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.[235]
An exploration vessel from Marquet reached the Swavain Islands and first established trade with the Ki'Nau. The Marquesians soon returned and established Damali.[251]
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.[253]
Shortly after 412 PD
Hill giants wrecked the gnomish city of Wittebak; Kraghammer welcomed the refugees.[254][255]
~435 PD
Zadash was founded as a guarded community under the Julous family.[256]
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.[266]
The elves of Syngorn established the hidden Emerald Outpost to keep watch on the growing Kingdom of Drassig.[267]
Within the next nine years, the port city of O'Noa was devastated in one of the bloodiest battles of the war.[268]
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. Warren's son Neminar succeeded him, and Neminar drew on the power of the Strife Emperor, a Betrayer God, to augment his forces.[270]
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.[271]
The Star of Exaltation, born from a tear the Platinum Dragon 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.[274]
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.[275][276]
To prevent further incursions by supernatural evils due to misuse of magic, Yurek Windkeeper brought together the most trusted and talented mages of the realm to form the Arcana Pansophical.[278]
The Council of Tal'Dorei convinced Syngorn and Kraghammer to join in an alliance against Errevon, and together their forces battled Errevon back through the rift, which the Ashari druids sealed shut. The victory was later celebrated annually as the Winter's Crest festival.[284]
~535 PD
Goblin worshipers of the Ruiner stormed the Lushgut Forest and desecrated Sepesca, the Ki'Nau's holiest of burial temples, where the Wildmother's blood was said to have spilled before the Divergence. The Ki'Nau fled and the site was left in ruins.[285]
The drow of Xhorhas began to emerge from the Underdark and live on the surface.[286]
Following more than three years of debate—and Eckhardt Dwendal making deals to build support for his son among guild leaders—Manfried Dwendal was crowned as the first emperor of the Dwendalian Empire. He soon banned worship that did not promote the interests of the empire.
The Admonition: Emperor Manfried Dwendal had leaders of various faiths executed after they attempted to usurp the throne in rebellion against his religious restrictions.[152]
The Dwendalian Empire declared war on the Julous Dominion, kicking off the 16-month Marrow War.[292]
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.[293]
This may coincide with the fall of Molaesmyr in 585 PD (below), given the context.
545 or 546 PD
Dwendalian forces occupied Zadash. Baron Inock Julous and Baroness Tessandra Julous met with Manfried Dwendal to negotiate a peace but were executed instead, leaving the Dominion leaderless and bringing the Marrow War to an end.[291]
Around 568 to 570 PD
The Eve of Crimson Midnight: A conflict between high-born arcane practitioners of the former Julous Dominion and those of the Empire's noble houses broke out into all-out warfare in the streets of Rexxentrum. The combatants were apprehended and, in exchange for amnesty, agreed to serve the Crown directly as a council of mages called the Cerberus Assembly,[295] after the organization of the same name that was destroyed in the Calamity.
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[297][298] 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.[299]
Shortly after 595 PD
Thordak, not yet matured into an ancient dragon,[300] attacked Ank'Harel but was seemingly killed by J'mon Sa Ord.[301][302][303]
Thordak, nearly dead, washed up on the island of Viscan, where the long-exiled Marquesian necromancer Opash discovered him and enslaved him for years, hoping to use him to achieve immortality.[304]
Tyrelda, later High Warden of Syngorn, was born.[309]
Before 622 PD
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.[310]
A scavenged Aeorian artifact turned all the frost giants in the Fortress of the Dead Jarl into zombies.[313]
The Dwendalian Empire absorbed Hupperdook via an agreement negotiated by Emma Zezbok, who became the city's first starosta and still held the position in 835 PD.[314]
Not long after 635 PD
On the strength of its brewing, Trostenwald boomed into a city.[315]
Pride's Call chose to ally with the expanding Dwendalian Empire.[316]
Darktow Isle became a haven for sailors coming from Tal'Dorei and Marquet to Wildemount.[328]
~735 PD
The Kryn Dynasty started working to bring warring goblin clans and orc clans of the northern shores of Xhorhas together, an effort that eventually resulted in a unified society in the city of Jigow.[329]

The party returned to Vasselheim, and Vax communed with the Raven Queen for a fourth fragment of divinity. They then traveled to the Scaldseat volcano to forge the Prime Trammels to use against Vecna.
The party met with the leaders of Vasselheim and beyond before beginning their assault against Vecna's latest threat, an undeadPrimordial titan. The party entered Thar Amphala and again escaped to the Feywild upon confrontation. They contacted Artagan and struck a deal to ensure they returned to the Material Plane only an hour after they left rather than risk coming back long after the battle was over. Upon returning to Thar Amphala, they made a new ally, faced off against old foes, scaled Entropis, and battled Vecna the Ascended.
After returning to Whitestone, Grog pulled a card from the Deck of Many Things. Two weeks of wackiness ensued. After a successful retrieval mission, the party went their separate ways.

829 PD
Fearne Calloway was born[466] on Exandria under the flashing light of Ruidus and was soon taken to the Feywild, where the red moon began to appear.[467]
Fearne Calloway was separated from her parents for perhaps 89 subjective years out of her 112 years[468] of life before returning to Exandria in 842 PD.[469]
Beauregard Lionett was taken from her home by monks of the Cobalt Soul at the request of her father, Thoreau Lionett.[474] Her brother, Thoreau Lionett Jr., was born later in the year.[475]
They traveled north together and found Alfield under attack by a gnollish cult, which they tracked back to their lair. There, with the help of Shakäste, they defeated the Yeenoghu-worshiping cult and the manticore at its heart.
The party, now calling itself the Mighty Nein, continued on to Zadash. While investigating corruption there, they witnessed an attack on the Zauber Spire, and Xhorhasian infiltrators fleeing from two flying Cerberus Assembly mages. The party found one of the infiltrators, Thuron, and recovered the Luxon beacon when Thuron was killed.
The party visited the base of a local smuggling lord, the Gentleman; one of his employees, Cree, knew Mollymauk in a past life. The Mighty Nein then did a job for the Gentleman in the ancient laboratory of Siff Duthar.
3 Fessuran to 13 Quen'pillar 835 PD (Days 20 through 59)
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 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.[495]
Around this date, a group of people resurrected Mollymauk Tealeaf's body.[496]
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.
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.
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.
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.
Caduceus Clay rebuilt his home and "reset" the Blooming Grove, which required the casting of Temple of the Gods every day at the same spot for one year.[497] Kingsley occasionally visited during that time.[498]
Trent Ikithon went on trial and his secret sentence was to be placed in the deepest and darkest dungeon in Rexxentrum.[499]
Fjord and Jester sought, but failed to find, the location of Uk'otoa's final temple to help ensure the Cloven Crystal would not be used to unseal the serpent.[502]
Having been exposed for the arrangement to kidnap Beauregard Lionett into the Cobalt Soul, Zeenoth went on trial and was sentenced to 35 years in prison, and Thoreau Lionett received only a brief sentence with some fines.[507]
Beauregard joined Yasha on a trip to find Zuala's gravesite, including a tense confrontation with the Dolorav tribe.[508]
Cuersaar 836 PD
This is approximately when Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn is set: in the year 836 PD,[6] "toward the end of Campaign 2",[6] "about a year" after Khedive Xundi was freed (which was on 13 Cuersaar 835 PD),[509] and "less than a year" after Vilya returned to Zephrah (which was on 25 Unndilar 836 PD).[510]
Misuthar 837 PD
Minions of Uk'otoa attacked Fjord's ship and obtained the third and final Cloven Crystal to unlock the leviathan. The Mighty Nein briefly reunited to prevent this, traveling to the final temple in the Cyrios End Forest, and then to the Lucidian Ocean where they battled, defeated, and re-sealed Uk'otoa.[511]
Caleb recruited Essek Thelyss to explore the ruins of Aeor. Caleb destroyed the T-Dock Chamber.[515]
After their excursions, Caleb visited his parents' gravesite.[516]
Essek began building a new life away from the Kryn Dynasty, using illusion and false identities.[517][518]
Fjord disposed of two of the three Cloven Crystals, dropping one in the volcano at Rumblecusp and leaving the other with the Cobalt Soul; Beauregard locked it deep within the Cobalt Reserve in Westruun. Fjord kept the third crystal for himself.[519]
Fjord returned to the orphanage in which he was raised to purge it of the child labor and general criminal activity that had permeated the place during that time.[522][523]
837 PD
A mysterious unsuccessful attack on Keyleth took place in Zephrah, where the attackers appeared out of nowhere and evaporated when killed.[524]
838 PD
A tall cloaked itinerant trader called "D" wearing an intricate metal mask came through Bassuras and sold a non-functioning Fresh Cut Grass to Dancer.[525]
Ludinus Da'leth began spending much of his time in Aeor, especially around the Genesis Ward.[526]
Years after joining the Nein Heroez, when they dispatched the crew of an attacking pirate ship, Kingsley Tealeaf took command of that ship to sail alongside Fjord's. One month later he abruptly parted ways and joined the Revelry.[529]
About a year later, Kingsley usurped the Plank King, and rescinded the Mighty Nein's banishment from Darktow Isle.[530]
On rare occasions, memories returned of his escape from Lucien, and the invisible black chains that bound Cognouza, now broken.[531]
In the years that followed the campaign, Caduceus and Calliope Clay occasionally went on adventures.[532]
Leylas Kryn had a vision of a soul conceived by the light of the Luxon. Soon afterward, Quana Kryn brought news of a confirmed sixth Luxon beacon.
While attempting to retrieve the sixth beacon, Quana Kryn was abducted by entities loyal to Lolth and was taken to the Dreadnest along with the beacon.
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.
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.
The Myriad and the Clasp came to blows in Emon; no one really knows who won, and the criminals who remained no longer use names for their organization.[536]
The Cerberus Assembly, at the direction of Ludinus Da'leth, took complete control of the main Aeor crash site.[537]
Orym visited the edge of Thordak's Crater, presumably on his way to visit the Fire Ashari stationed nearby around the Scar of the Cinder King.[548] He met Dariax around that time.[549] There they, along with Dorian, Fearne Calloway, and Opal, were involved in a fight with an elemental creature of fire, appearing like a woman with fiery wings.
Dariax, Dorian, Fearne, Orym, and Opal woke up together on the road outside the city walls of Emon, unsure of how they got there and without memories of the week leading up to then. Rather than investigate this, they decided to attend the Everdawn, a long-lasting rager.[552][553][554]
The party sought help at Flamereach Outpost, witnessed the sudden creation of an ashen mesa nearby, and found an elemental rune atop the mesa. Lorkathar sent them to ask Shaun Gilmore, a runechild sorcerer, for insight.
The party dodged Nameless Ones on their way to Gilmore's Glorious Goods. There they used their looted platinum to shop for assorted items. Gilmore said materials available from the ruins of Qoniira could help him decipher the rune. As the party left the city, their carriage was hijacked by Poska and many Nameless Ones, but Fearne magically charmed Poska to ensure their escape.
The party left the road in the Verdant Expanse and found their way to the gate that Fearne had used to traverse from the Feywild to the Material Plane. There they fought a dark version of Fearne and were joined by Fy'ra Rai.
T + four weeks, probably late Cuersaar 842 PD "By the Road" (E1x04) at 2:54:14
The party arrived in Byroden, where they participated in a festival and pageant.
In the first night in the jungle, Dorian had a dream in which he made a deal to restore his memories of the missing week. Gilmore's vardo turned back to travel to Emon.[558]
T + two months and ~14 days, probably early Horisal 843 PD "A Test of Worth" (E1x05) at 1:38:36
After traveling on foot in the increasingly impassable jungle, the party found an obelisk with familiar-looking runes. There they subdued a giant fey crocodile, passing Melora's trial.
The party found its way to Niirdal-Poc, received guidance and gifts from Tetrarch Thrascuur, and fought off an attempt by Myr'atta Niselor's elves to abduct Opal. Fy'ra Rai had a vision of her sister still alive, and separated from the party to find her.[559]
The party reached the ruin at Niirdal-Sarqet, where they deciphered the message on a floating cube, gained new powers, and defeated a group of golems. Myr'atta Niselor showed up and summoned from the soil a huge being with Ted's essence, forcing her to fight the party. Opal gave in to the temptation to equip the Circlet of Barbed Vision and the party defeated Myr'atta, then freed Ted's spirit. The party decided to tentatively call itself the Crown Keepers.
At a ball, the party planted a tracker on Armand Treshi and interrupted a heist, but Cyrus then had to flee Jrusar; his brother Dorian accompanied him, leaving the party for a while.
The party learned more about FCG's origins and reunited Fearne with the Calloways. They also encountered Ira Wendagoth on less combative terms, though after he completed the Veilscatter Scope he absconded with the Moontide Crown.
FCG reached his stress limit, blacked out, and briefly attacked the party. Then he met with Dancer and Imahara Joe.
The party infiltrated the Paragon's Call base, captured Treshi, and suffered badly at the hands of Otohan Thull until Imogen was provoked into unleashing her power.
The party returned to Jrusar with Laudna's body and turned in Treshi to Orlana Seshadri.
Contacted for help, Keyleth brought Laudna's body to Whitestone, where they were able to separate Delilah Briarwood's soul from Laudna's and bring Laudna back to life.
The party returned to Jrusar to find Eshteross dead, killed by Thull. The party inherited his skyship and got it repaired.
27 Sydenstar through 19 Fessuran (Days 42 through 66)
Ryn transported them to the Fey Realm, where they visited Fearne's grandmother, Morri Calloway, then destroyed the Malleus Key being built there and escaped back to Exandria.
20 Fessuran through either 26 Fessuran or 4 Quen'pillar (Day 67 through either day 73 or day 80)
Bells Hells encountered Caleb Widogast and Beauregard Lionett, and they all infiltrated the excavation site, but couldn't overcome Ludinus's forces. When Keyleth arrived, she was wounded so gravely that Vax'ildan showed up to intervene, only to be captured and used to complete the Malleus Key.
Caleb, Beau, and members of Bells Hells were teleported to different places and possibly different days. The Battle of the Red Center continued in the excavation site.
Beau and Caleb were transported to Blightshore. They gathered their team from across Wildemount, then discovered the disruption of magic had allowed Trent Ikithon to escape. The Mighty Nein defeated Ikithon (and Omentis) in Blumenthal and magically trapped the wizard.
FCG, Chetney, Imogen, and Fearne arrived not far from Uthodurn and met and joined F.R.I.D.A. and Deanna Leimert. In Uthodurn they pacified the sentinel beast Umudara, earning them royal favor. They trekked to Molaesmyr to investigate Ludinus's past, and found his Quintessence Array and a staff that allowed them to eventually Teleport back to Jrusar.
After the party reunites: from Jrusar to the Fey Realm (11.5 days) (26 Fessuran or 4 Quen'pillar through 8 or 15 Quen'pillar) (day 73 or 80 through day 85 or 92)
The two groups caught up, and their new friends split off to do independent research. Chetney, Fearne, and Orym had a vision of the Matron of Ravens. The party discovered Ludinus and Liliana were on Ruidus.
With Keyleth's teleportation, Bells Hells took a quick detour to Yios to meet with Dancer, and then returned to Bassuras, where the party rescued Imahara Joe and Verna from the Paragon's Call and Ashton received the Brood Pit from the All-Minds-Burn being.
Ashton attempted to absorb the power of Rau'shan's shard, which went poorly.
The party traveled to the Fey Realm and engaged in team-building exercises. Fearne successfully absorbed the shard.
Endgame (9.5 days) (8 or 15 Quen'pillar through 17 or 24 Quen'pillar) (day 85 or 92 through day 94 or 101)
The party Plane Shifted to the Malleus Key, fought their way to the Bloody Bridge, and escaped the camp on Ruidus. They explored, met potential allies, and had an encounter with Otohan Thull. While traveling toward Kreviris, they found the ruins of a proto-elven city and a hidden portal leading to Issylra.
In Kreviris, Bells Hells connected to the Volition, a resistance movement.
The party divided into two: Team Infiltration (Chetney, Orym, Imogen, and Laudna) investigating the disappearance of a Volition ally, the scientist Evoroa; and Team Detonation (Fearne, Ashton, and FCG) joining Ira Wendagoth to destroy Imperium construction near the Prime Pillar supervised by Fearne's father Athion Zathuda. Both missions succeeded; however, Otohan Thull intercepted the fleeing party and FCG died taking down Otohan.
Liliana TemultTeleported them to the Bloody Bridge and they returned to Exandria, where Dorian rejoined the party. That night, Zathuda confronted Fearne and his minions almost killed her attempting to awaken her as an Exaltant and potential Vessel to release Predathos.
Essek Teleported the party to Aeor, where they found and joined forces with Braius Doomseed. They fought and defeated Dominox, an ancient demon, and encountered Ludinus Da'leth, who showed them visions of the time of the fall of Aeor, then left. Back in Rexxentrum, with Essek's help they bound Delilah Briarwood's spirit to a soul anchor Laudna could control.
In Vasselheim, Bells Hells were brought before a council of the greatest rulers of Exandria. They helped plan an attack to disrupt Ludinus's plan to release Predathos, and were then accepted by the full Accord as their strike force to deal with Ludinus's attempt to reach Predathos physically on Ruidus. Vox Machina was assigned to deal with the Malleus Key in the Hellcatch, while the Mighty Nein were to attack the Weave Mind.
Bells Hells returned to the Feywild to interrupt a meeting between the Unseelie Court, Sorrowlord Zathuda, and a simulacrum of Ludinus Da'leth. After they met with the Arch Heart, who urged them to free Predathos, the party killed Zathuda, who was then turned into a sentient tapestry.
In Vasselheim, Bells Hells communed with the Matron of Ravens in her temple, and Ashton visited the dead Primordial in town. Bells Hells joined the Mighty Nein at Lake Umamu, and they all Teleported to Kreviris. Meanwhile, Keyleth and Vex'ahlia rounded up the rest of Vox Machina.
Bells Hells and the Mighty Nein found and restored Planerider Ryn, then met with the Volition and informed Allura Vysoren to have the Exandrian Accord begin their assault on the Malleus Key as soon as possible. Vox Machina succeeded in destroying the Key and releasing Vax'ildan from his imprisonment. The Mighty Nein invaded the Prime Pillar of Kreviris and slew the Weave Mind while Bells Hells traveled to the Hallowed Cage, where they confronted and defeated Ludinus Da'leth, then faced Predathos. After the Red End's defeat, Imogen accepted its diminished form as its Vessel and the party was transported to Vasselheim, where the gods of the main pantheon agreed to become mortal and enter a cycle of rebirth. Predathos was released and fled in frustration at finding no proper sustenance around Exandria.
An undercover agent investigating Arkhan the Cruel disappeared. Five months later their severed left arm was sent to the editors they worked for, causing them to cease any study of the champion of the Scaled Tyrant.[577]
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.[582] The fact that at least one giant from Tempestar, Galadawna, still lives, indicates (knowing that storm giants can live around three centuries) that the city fell presumably between 512 and 612 PD, and that at least two generations of storm giants have been born since.

↑The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount says in a sidebar that Vecna's physical form was destroyed during the Age of Arcanum. See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 57.
↑In 810 PD, Shaun Gilmore recalled that Vecna attempted to ascend to godhood "600 years ago," which was hundreds of years after the Age of Arcanum. See "Echoes of the Past" (1x38) at 0:49:24. However, Gilmore later admitted he "wasn't really a history buff" in "What Lies Beneath the Surface" (1x81) at 2:33:05.

↑Matthew Mercer noted in the Critical Role subreddit that Thordak was not yet "ancient" during his attack on Ank'Harel, which was "nearly two centuries" before his confrontation with Emon's forces in 795 PD, meaning he turned 800 between 596 PD and 795 PD.

↑Just over a century into the Calamity, an avatar of Asmodeus referred to Sarenrae not having any worshipers left. See "Downfall: Part One" (3x99) at 3:43:31.
↑The same night, an avatar of Sarenrae recalled that the last time she reached for her divine power, it was to try to redeem Asmodeus, and that it had shattered a part of her. See "Downfall: Part Two" (3x100) at 2:07:01.
↑A little over a century into the Calamity, just before the fall of Aeor, Garathran refers to Marquet being burned. See "Downfall: Part Two" (3x100) at 2:49:09. This would be before the final battles of the Calamity, and thus before Gruumsh's attack on what became known as Cael Morrow.
↑In 810 PD, Keyleth says this happened "about 900 years ago or so, roughly a thousand years ago." See "Aramente to Pyrah" (1x22) at 1:17:27.

↑See "Between the Lines" (2x78) at 3:21:22. Halas Lutagran discovered the Permaheart Chamber floating in the Astral Sea, studied it while the gods warred with each other, and learned the heart's provenance from "his tomes," suggesting it probably happened some considerable time before this human discovered it.
↑Halas claimed that Aeor fell "before my time, but its folly was known in my upbringing", and speaks of other cities that tried to follow its example. See "The Neverending Day" (2x125) from 0:36:16 through 0:42:09.
↑As Aeor was about to fall, Cassida Previn said the gods hadn't been seen in decades, and Trist confirmed for her that the gods had known what was coming for "[h]alf a century". See "Downfall: Part Two" (3x100) at 2:23:59.

↑See "Between the Lines" (2x78) at 3:15:10. The truce implies this must have occurred during the Calamity.
↑In the Downfall arc, when the gods struck a truce to stop Aeor, multiple individuals—both celestial and mortal—were surprised and appalled, which implies Aeor was the first to be destroyed by the gods.
↑Aeor is said to the be the last of the flying cities of the Age of Arcanum, which in Downfall is sometimes discussed as if it's separate from the Calamity. See "Downfall: Part Three" (3x101) at 0:07:06.
↑Halas of Zeidel claims that Aeor fell "before my time, but its folly was known in my upbringing", and speaks of other cities that tried to follow its example. See also at 0:46:34, when he speaks of Aeor's fall giving pause to others who were following in their path. See "The Neverending Day" (2x125) from 0:36:16 through 0:42:09.
↑This happened "during the Age of Arcanum." See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 99. It must have happened after Vespin Chloras released the Betrayer Gods from their prisons.
↑See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 126. This is contradicted in the same sourcebook on p. 28, which says orcs didn't walk on Exandria until after the Calamity. See also p. 122, which suggests the creation myth may or may not be entirely accurate.
↑Eventually, Taliesin confirmed that only after the fall of Aeor, when the gods finally started considering the Raven Queen part of their family, did they work together to create the temples guarded by the three families. See "4-Sided Dive: Oh My Gods" (4SDx26) at 0:30:36.
↑See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 12. In a section about the Age of Arcanum (before the section on the Calamity), this says the archmage Halas began his historic journey in that age.
↑One of the books in Halas's library was a transcript of a public debate in Zeidel, a society that was wiped out during the Calamity. See "A Storm of Memories" (2x46) at 1:12:02.
↑See "The Stowaway" (2x45) at 2:27:26. Beau and Fjord note that the layout of the planes in Halas's library does not show the Divine Gate.

↑See "The Hallowed Cage" (3x118) at 0:23:05. This must have happened after the fall of Aeor but before the Crawling King was banished around the Battle of the Barbed Fields.
↑Matthew Mercer said the Bright Queen found her first Luxon beacon "towards the end of the Calamity", "after they had gotten out from under the Spider Queen." See "Wrap Up: Campaign 3 and the Era of Reclamation" (Sx94) at 3:37:31.
↑Matt had previously said, in-game, that Den Kryn "at some point during or at the tail end of the Age of Arcanum" broke away from Lolth, placing the discovery of the beacon before the Divergence. See "Between the Lines" (2x78) at 2:49:07.
↑Drow started rejecting Lolth in favor of the Luxon during the Calamity. See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 27. See also p. 38, which says the drow uncovered the first Luxon beacon "in a time before they turned from Lolth". And see p. 19, which notes that the drow turned from Lolth "[b]eneath the ruins of Ghor Dranas", which was destroyed at the tail end of the Calamity. On p. 40, it is vaguely said to have been found "a millennium ago", in a book set in 835 PD.
↑See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 28. This must have happened after Torog created the Pallid Grove. Presumably, it also happened after Torog's encounter with Alyxian within the Betrayers' Rise.
↑This happened after Gruumsh lost an eye to Corellon and after the Battle of the Barbed Fields. See Call of the Netherdeep, p. 121. See also pp. 5, 132, and 142.
↑This narrative about how previously verdant jungles were turned into desert and wasteland mentions the story of Gruumsh and Alyxian, and does not mention the narrative in the earlier Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting and Explorer's Guide to Wildemount about warring nations early in the Calamity. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, p. 146.
↑Thunder and lightning was heard during the battle. See "Give and Take" (E4x01) at 3:19:14. In its aftermath, survivors found much damage caused by vines and brambles. See, for instance, at 3:34:39.
↑Just before the Strife Emperor was defeated, days before the Stormlord told a group of mortals about the impending Divergence, elite followers of the Betrayer Gods still speculated about the Chained Oblivion's further participation in the war. See "Give and Take" (E4x01) at 2:09:51.
↑Weeks later, the Far-Seer in Vasselheim reported that the Knowing Mentor suffered a terrible wound, so her followers had just lost their immediate connection with her. See "By Heart Alone" (E4x04) at 1:09:08.

↑See "Hope Within History" (3x55) at 0:52:59. Here the fire is described as a "100-year fire following the Calamity", suggesting it may have started at the very end of the Calamity.
↑"Not more than 800 years ago," in a book set in 812 PD, the seeds of restoring civilization were present on the continent. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 8. See also p. 65.

↑The fire lasted "nearly a century" before burning out, but the smoke filled the sky for "over a hundred years" and the survival of the Veluthil Forest is described in the section on "Wildemount After the Calamity." See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 18.
↑An elder elf mentions "the hundred-year fire following the Calamity." See "Hope Within History" (3x55) at 0:53:00.
↑Several centuries after Kraghammer was founded. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 8. "Several" means "more than two, fewer than many."
↑Several centuries after Kraghammer was founded, but before the start of the Scattered War. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 8.
↑Molaesmyr was founded sometime after the 100-year fire caused by the Calamity. See "Hope Within History" (3x55) at 0:52:51.
↑After the fires burned out, "the elves began to build a new home" there. The forest expanded for "centuries" before the destruction of 585 PD. See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 18.
↑The best records available to the Volition indicate this happened about "four [or] five hundred years" before 843 PD. See "Divisive Portents" (3x89) at 0:25:40.
↑Thordak was thought slain by Marquet's defenders nearly two centuries before his confrontation with Emon's forces in 795. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 11.
↑J'mon Sa Ord says that Thordak attacked Ank'Harel when the city was about 100 or 150 years old. See "A Traveler's Gamble" (1x66) from 0:16:20 through 0:16:41.
↑In 810 PD, the party recalls that Ank'Harel has existed and has always been run by J'mon Sa Ord for "about 400 years." It might be a bit of a stretch to call 365 years "about 400," but it's about as close as the preceding sources allow. See "Echoes of the Past" (1x38) at 2:26:40.
↑See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 18. This happened when Ank'Harel "had just named the mysterious J'mon Sa Ord as their new emperor."
↑In 811 PD, "about four centuries back". See "Duskmeadow" (1x57) at 3:06:25.
↑This date is counting backward from the end of the Scattered War and the start of the Tal'Dorei dynasty. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 8. See also p. 39, which says Kraghammer's alliance with Drassig was "many centuries ago."
↑The Golden Grin was established during the reign of "the tyrant Drassig"—probably Neminar ("willful tyranny") or Warren. See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 56.
↑See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, pp. 9–10. This date is counting nine years after the start of the Scattered War, or 23 years before its end.
↑See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 10. The text gives the impression that Neminar led the war effort for much of the remaining 23 years of the Scattered War, but doesn't explicitly say so, other than to say Trist led the effort for "the last years of fighting."
↑Wilhand said he left the family when he was in his early 40s. See "Family Matters" (1x96) at 59:11.
↑In Pike's introductory narration, she says Wilhand left his family after having a dream, and he devoted his life to Sarenrae. See "The Throne Room" (1x07) at 1:25.
↑See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 10. Page 12 says that Tal'Dorei rule lasted "nearly three centuries" before the attack on Emon in late 810 PD ended it. Page 35 says it was "roughly three centuries ago."
↑Errevon had conquered most of the continent in "a few years" and this rule stood for "several years." A few can be as small as two; several means "more than two, fewer than many." See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, pp. 10–11.
↑"Not a quarter century after the Marrow War ended." See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 16. But see also p.41, which refers to this event as "nearly three hundred years ago" as of 835 PD.
↑The specific year is given. See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 18. That said, p. 115 says "over" 250 years ago as of 835 PD, and p. 119 says Uthodurn welcomed elven refugees from the destroyed Molaesmyr "nearly three centuries ago."
↑Thordak was thought slain nearly two centuries before his confrontation with Emon's forces in 795. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 11.
↑J'mon Sa Ord said that Thordak attacked Ank'Harel when the city was about 100 or 150 years old. See "A Traveler's Gamble" (1x66) from 0:16:20 through 0:16:41.
↑In 810 PD, the party recalled that Ank'Harel had existed for "about 400 years." See "Echoes of the Past" (1x38) at 2:26:40.
↑As of 811 PD, she appeared to be "probably close to 150 or 200 years old". See "Heredity and Hats" (1x60) at 1:28:35.
↑Critical Role: The Mighty Nein - The Nine Eyes of Lucien, pp. 119–120, 134–135, 139, 143, 146–149, and 155–157. The text, which was recovered after apparently "hundreds of years" in a book set beginning in 822 PD, refers to "the disastrous outcomes of the Calamity".
↑In the final days of 835 PD, Yussa said he had "been a practitioner of the arcane arts in seclusion for over 200 years" but his seclusion might have started before he bought the land. See "Homeward Bound" (2x48) at 2:04:06.
↑In Fessuran 843 PD she says she was dead for almost two centuries, and that she was resurrected "maybe a year or two ago". See "Far From The Others" (3x52) from 1:30:09 through 1:31:07.
↑A short time later, however, she states she's been living at her house for "about four years" since being resurrected. See "Ripples" (3x53) at 0:48:32.
↑Grimgolir was absorbed around the same time Bladegarden was incorporated into the Empire. See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 86. See also p. 16, about King Alfwin Dwendal "establishing the stronghold of Bladegarden and assimilating Grimgolir into the Empire."
↑This is seemingly contradicted by the statement that Bladegarden was incorporated into the empire "after the fall of the Julous Dominion, nearly three hundred years ago." See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 178. See also p. 81, on which "When the Julous Dominion was defeated" is quickly followed by, "The empire reached out to the more approachable members of the orc settlement of Bladegarden."
↑See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, pp. 116–117. It became a haven "in the most recent century" and was run by the Tribes "for nearly a century" as of 835 PD.
↑At the end of the campaign, after Misuthar 812 PD, Sam said Scanlan was 70 years old, and he hoped to finish a book before turning 71. See "The Chapter Closes" (1x115) at 3:49:23.
↑Matt estimates that, as of "Clash at Daxio" (1x77) in Misuthar 811 PD, Vax and Keyleth have been traveling together for a little over two years, maybe pushing two-and-a-half. See "Talks Machina #4: 'Clash at Daxio'" (TMx04) at 1:04:58.
↑See "Enter Vasselheim" (1x16) at 0:26:53. Keyleth said she was 5 or 6 years old when her mother left.
↑On the other hand, Keyleth said shortly afterward, in late 810 PD, that her mother left almost 20 years ago. See "Aramente to Pyrah" (1x22) from 2:52:21 through 2:52:42.
↑Another source reinforces the earlier date of Vilya's departure, saying Vilya started her Aramenté "nearly eighteen years" before Keyleth started her own in late 808 or 809 PD. See The Chronicles of Exandria Volume One: The Tale of Vox Machina, p. 34.
↑There is a more recent source that contradicts this date. See Critical Role: Vox Machina - Kith & Kin, p. 65. In this story, set circa 807 PD, Vex and Vax left Byroden "[e]leven years ago", circa 796, although the same page says they were indeed 10 years old at the time. This is inconsistent with Vax'ildan saying he was 27 years old in late 810 PD and 28 years old in early 811 PD.
↑As of 811 PD, "nearly two decades ago." See "Trust" (1x70) at 0:13:58.
↑This was two years before Emon's forces, and Allura's allies, confronted Thordak. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 11.
↑In an episode set in 843 PD, this happened "about 50 or so years ago". See "A Haunted Past" (3x63) at 1:53:40.
↑"Choose Their Adventure...Again!" (Sx81) takes place in a time in Scanlan's life when he's still inexpert and lacks confidence, and by the end of it he's trying to behave more like the charismatic Ranthiel Volthor. Since between 795 and 796 PD Scanlan had a messy affair with a member of the Darrington Estate staff that forced the bard and his troupe to leave, presumably the gnome's time with the Glorious Ones preceded this incident in Deastok. For more information see "Curious Tides" (1x89) at 1:13:37 and "Talks Machina #17: 'Voice of the Tempest'" (TMx17) at 56:37
↑See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, pp. 11–12. This says Thordak was sealed for 16 years before the Chroma Conclave attacked Emon in late 810 PD. Note also p. 77: Thordak attacked Byroden "nearly two decades ago."
↑These dates are contradicted elsewhere. See Critical Role: Vox Machina - Kith & Kin, p. 65. In this book, set in 807 PD, Vex and Vax arrived in Syngorn "[e]leven years ago", in 796, unaware of the attack on Byroden.
↑Atrix had been Margrave for at least 10 years when Vox Machina met him during their pre-stream adventures in Westruun. See "Margrave Atrix" on the Vox Machina Wiki.
↑The Briarwoods ruled Whitestone for nearly six years. They fell in the final month of 810 PD, so the takeover took place in the final weeks of 804 PD or early 805 PD. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, p. 75.
↑An earlier guide less precisely said the Briarwoods' reign lasted six years. See also pp. 48 and 50. See Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 32.
↑In Cuersaar 810 PD, Percy said it was four or five years ago. See "The Feast" (1x24) at 23:36.
↑In Duscar 810 PD, Matt narrates that the Briarwoods have ruled Whitestone for five years. See "Race to the Ziggurat" (1x34) at 08:24.
↑See "Attack on the Duergar Warcamp" (1x04) from 0:30:59 through 0:32:14. Clarota says K'Varn took control of the elder brain four months before he met Vox Machina.
↑This happens "months" after Misuthar 812 PD, during the existence of Doty 3.0; by the time of Vex and Percy's wedding, Doty 5.0 is attending. See "The Chapter Closes" (1x115) at 3:50:38.
↑Following a crisis she experienced within a year of the end of the campaign. See "The Chapter Closes" (1x115) at 4:03:00.
↑During events roughly one year after Vox Machina's adventures in Pandemonium in 812 PD, Vesper had already been born. See "Dalen's Closet" (Sx47) from 0:03:16 through 0:05:16. See also 0:08:54, when it is explained that she was born in the months leading up to this time.
↑See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 46. This contradicts several sources implying Myriad presence in earlier years. See the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, p. 44, saying that the Myriad had been in Stilben for five years by that point.
↑In 843 PD, when Thollo recounts what happened to the Hishari, he says it was about 20 years ago, and Ashton says it was "[a] little more." See "Aid of the Tempest" (3x66) at 1:21:28.
↑Opal left Byroden when she turned 18, and had been gone for about a year when she returned at the beginning of 843 PD. See "By the Road" (E1x04) at 3:00:31. See also 2:57:30.
↑See "New Homes and Old Friends" (2x111) at 3:00:46. Pumat Sol tells the Mighty Nein in 836 that artifacts started coming down "seven, eight years ago.
↑In 843 PD, Oleander Calloway believes Fearne should be 14 years old. See "Reunion & Revelation" (3x30) at 3:14:07.
↑As of Thunsheer 836 PD, Beau hadn't seen her father for "close to three years." See "Home is Where the Heart Is" (2x92) at 49:54.
↑In Thunsheer 836 PD, her brother was about two-and-a-half years old. See "Home is Where the Heart Is" (2x92) at 3:27:49. He was born about six months after Beau was abducted; see at 50:30.
↑See "Dark Waters" (2x98) at 16:58. As of Thunsheer 836 PD, it had been three years since the start of the conspiracy.
↑As of Sydenstar 835 PD, "two years ago." That is also the number of years since Cree and the other Tombtakers last saw him; see at 12:58. See "Fleeting Memories" (2x14) at 1:59:17.
↑On 3 Fessuran 835, Yasha said she had lived in the Empire about eight months. See "Whispers of War" (2x18) at 1:24:31.
↑In Sydenstar, "five, six months ago." See "Disparate Pieces" (2x04) from 1:46:49 through 1:48:55.
↑As of early Fessuran 835 PD, they had been in the Empire "this past half-year." See "Harvest Close" (2x17) at 1:46:30.
↑See Call of the Netherdeep, p. 224. The diagram, which includes features of the Netherdeep before its collapse at the end of mission 6, is from the Allegiance of Allsight, which only gains access to the Netherdeep after mission 5. The missions are separated by one week; see pp. 102–103.
↑Though the sourcebook says it is 835 PD, it also says the point at which the adventures you create diverge from canon is "The Endless Burrows" (2x50), which starts 12 days into 836 PD. See Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 8. See the sidebar, "When Does This Book Take Place?"
↑See "Fond Farewells" (2x141) at 6:51:48. This must have happened in the first six months after the campaign, because they found the temple in Misuthar 837 PD.
↑Liam confirmed they were in a romantic relationship on twitter.
↑Matt confirmed they were in a romantic relationship on Twitter.
↑When Caleb and Essek reunite a short time after the Uk'otoa incident, it is clear they had already started a romantic relationship before that incident. See "The Mighty Nein Reunited Part 2" (Sx74) at 5:18:21.
↑This was "within a few weeks" of the end of the campaign. See "Fond Farewells" (2x141) from 5:44:45 through 5:49:11.
↑Beauregard had a couple of weeks free following the trial. See "Fond Farewells" (2x141) from 6:18:04 through 6:35:15.
↑They stayed in touch "in the first six months to a year" following the campaign; Essek went to Vurmas to distance himself from the core of the Dynasty, and there eventually Caleb met him and invited him to explore Aeor's ruins. See "Fond Farewells" (2x141) from 6:36:31 through 6:46:23.
↑In 843 PD, Deanna states she stayed dead for almost 200 years, and that she was resurrected "maybe a year or two" before meeting Bells Hells. See "Far From The Others" (3x52) from 1:30:35 through 1:31:07.
↑A short time later, Deanna says she's been living in her house "about four years" since being resurrected. See "Ripples" (3x53) at 0:48:32.
↑Opal left Byroden when she turned 18, and had been gone for about a year when she returned around Cuersaar 842 PD. See "By the Road" (E1x04) at 3:00:31. See also 2:57:30.
↑Around late Misuthar 843 PD, Dorian said he had been without his people for a year. See "The Gift Among the Green" (E1x06) at 1:06:56.
↑Dorian said, probably in late Quen'pillar, that he'd been playing gigs for two months in that city. See "A Glorious Return" (E1x03) at 46:26.
↑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.
↑Fearne had been on Exandria for seven months, give or take—maybe eight—as of the third day of Campaign Three, in Brussendar 843 PD. See "Growing Bonds and Teasing Threads" (3x06) at 1:06:33.
↑The adventurers met at a party, the Everdawn, which started on Civilization's Dawn (22 Quen'pillar) but "promises to hold through until the new year" more than two months later. See "The Nameless Ones" (E1x01) at 12:08.
↑Orym remembers waking up the day before the adventure began. See "The Nameless Ones" (E1x01) at 50:34.
↑Dorian just remembers waking up, then partying, and then the morning the adventure began. See "The Nameless Ones" (E1x01) at 52:32.

↑This is "the first night," but that probably refers to the first night in the jungle, not the first night of travel.
↑There is some contradiction in the description of the time that has passed. The party is said to be three-and-a-half weeks out of Byroden and two-and-a-half months from Emon, but it took less than four weeks for the party to travel from Emon to Byroden. 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.
↑On 21 Fessuran, Orym estimates he knew Dariax "five or six months back". See "Somewhere Out There" (3x59) at 3:54:42.
↑Ashton says they met "a couple of months ago", but was not entirely certain. See "The Draw of Destiny" (3x01) at 2:54:08.
↑On the 16th day of the campaign, Chetney said he'd been dealing with lycanthropy for "maybe a couple months." See "Heart-to-Heartmoor" (3x17) at 3:39:12.
↑As of 8 Fessuran, this happened about three months ago. See "Axiom Shaken" (3x43) at 3:29:38.
↑On the first day of the campaign, Matt says they have been in town "a handful of weeks" and that they went to the Starpoint Conservatory "two weeks" ago. See "The Draw of Destiny" (3x01) at 20:15.
↑Two days after the campaign begins, Laudna says they've been in Jrusar for three weeks. See "On the Trail of a Killer" (3x04) at 1:11:22.
↑"It's been almost a month of low living" since the remaining Crown Keepers, Cyrus, and Morrighan Ferus made their getaway from the Kymal heist, which would have taken place no later than 9 Sydenstar, when Dorian mentioned the "floating bar" to Orym via sending stone. However, they spent "the first three weeks" on the floating bar, and they also stayed in multiple settlements for "a few days" at a time and sometimes longer. See "Broken Roads" (3x92) at 1:48:39. If they spent three weeks on the bar and then almost a month lying low in a series of settlements, starting from 9 Sydenstar, that could extend to late Fessuran, not quite to Quen'pillar. The party started hearing about the solstice "two weeks ago" (which is also when Opal's connection with Ted began being strained by overnight battles, apparently with Lolth; see 1:59:18), so given that the disruptions of the solstice started on 20 Fessuran, this could be (roughly) no earlier than 5 Quen'pillar or later than 11 Quen'pillar.
↑"It takes a couple days" for Dorian and Dariax to reach Zephrah after the fight. See "Bittersweet Reunions" (3x93) at 2:39:01. However, shortly after they arrived, Dorian stated (at 3:43:21) that Cyrus had died "yesterday".
