Lore Timeline

The current year of the FC Universe is 2610.

The timeline is intended for Lore Keepers to stay on track with the happenings of the FC universe. It allows for materials to be kept and sorted into chronological order, and enables media such as short stories to maintain accuracy if it happens to refer to past events as part of their respective plotlines. For media to formally be added into the timeline, it must first go through a 'verification' process where the Media Creator/s and Lore Keepers will meet and discuss their stories, and how it can be incorporated into the FC Canon seamlessly.

Please note (1), this thread will see continuous edits as they are approved; some information displayed may be up for contention in the future.

Please note (2), that for time scaling purposes, a battle-night in a single war indicates a month passed in the FC universe.
