Grand Timeline

🩻 The Sundering Veil (0 AE — After Echo)

• The central cataclysm.

• A metaphysical fracture split the world of Eladris into Shards. Time, memory, and identity began to behave inconsistently. The Veil, a mystical boundary between realities, began to fray.

• Scholars and sages suspect this event is somehow entangled with a now-lost Pre-Sundering force — one later associated with the final acts of the warforged.

🪨 Formation of the Shard Realms (0–20 AE)

• New nations emerge as survivors cluster around stable Resonance Nodes.

• First fragments of Veilbinding philosophy, Echo theory, and resonant arcana appear.

• Founding of places like Republic of Begoestia, Drieratil, Tsardom of Pebopetsia, and Merenvegy.

📜 Founding of the Veilbinders (~25 AE)

• Monks and scholars from fractured sanctums unite to form the Veilbinders to protect and stabilize reality.

• Establishment of the Sanctuary of Threads.

⚔️ Recursive Rebellion (~85 years before present)

• Echo-magi attempt to form a utopia via recursive memory-loops and identity-stable cities.

• Fails disastrously, causes time-locks and unstable echo-fields in Druvenhal and nearby regions.

• Marked the formation of Centreg as a stabilizing neutral force.

🔩 Fall of Drael’Korh (~80–70 years before present)

• The arcano-industrial wasteland fully collapses.

• Warforged foundries break from resonance control; automated titans go mad.

• Region is now a Class-R forbidden zone.

🧠 Rise of the Archivist Ascendancy (~60 years before present)

• In Druvenhal, archivists seize metaphysical authority over truth to control Echo dangers.

• Inkguard formed as enforcement arm.

🔮 Echo Collapse of Quintoria (~40 years before present)

• Entire sectors of Quintoria begin reliving past moments, echoing memory and magic.

• The Order of the Still Reflection aids in psychological containment and spiritual healing.

🐉 Rebellion in Pebopetsia (~35 years before present)

• Civil war erupts among dragon-masked nobles over dream-gate legitimacy.

• Dream-lineages are erased; one claimant believed hidden.

🌊 Containment of the Hollow Tide (Merenvegy) (~30 years before present)

• Echo-mist surges begin generating living memory-constructs in Merenvegy's wetlands.

• Centreg and local pact-menders seal the affected area with ritual lantern-pylons.

🧊 The Warforged Who Saved Herwol (~120–130 years before present)

• A Pre-Sundering automaton stabilizes a frozen Resonance Node during a collapse event.

• Now considered a mythic ancestor-figure in Herwol’s star-guided culture.

• Many believe this act is intimately connected with the Sundering itself — but none agree on how.

🌀 First Echo War (Exact timing unclear — estimated ~60–90 AE)

• Uncoordinated efforts by nations to contain, exploit, or seal Echo anomalies erupt into conflict.

• Results in widespread destabilization. Centreg is formally founded post-war.

🔈 Spread of the Council of Echoes (Ongoing)

• Multiversal conspiracies tied to identity fracture and timeline contradiction.

• Appearances noted as early as the Echo Census War and during ritual collapses in Begoestia.

🎵 Rise of the Cult of the Final Frequency (Present Day)

• A resonance-death movement seeking to collapse all Shards into harmonic unity.

• Operates from the Spiral Choir and other drifting echo-sites.
