Saga Timeline

As the complete timeline is so long, a variety of year numbering systems of varying inaccuracy find use during the course of the saga. (For example, people living before the birth of King Ronard obviously did not use negatively-numbered years.*) This timeline exclusively uses the Ronardian Calendar for the reasons described in that writeup. All years given are taken directly or extrapolated from notes given in the various canonical texts and selected external sources, then rendered as well as possible into the Ronardian Calendar.

Note, however, that many of these dates are approximate. As the length of a Battal year varies from 175 to 507 days over the course of a 33-year Battal Cycle (see Astrolonomy), accurate recording of history is an almost completely unknown science to all within the ELotH:TES universe, with the possible exception of the Chronoclave.

The Forlorn Era Of Pensive Twiddle: "Before time" (FEPT)

An era said by the War Men to have lasted for an unknown span prior to the Hierarchs. It is the setting for several of their traditional stories of myth. Unlike every other myth or legend ever referred to in the entire saga, these stories are not based on fact; the Forlorn Era never actually took place and is included here only for completeness.

Forgotten Age: ? to the Beginning of time (2)

He wrote in his great tome of the history of Battal, All of Rounders Kingdoms: From the Beginning, that "(t)he trauma of the withdrawl of the Elmether resulted in nothing whatsoever happening for the next 19,232 years, known later as The Great Bore." For many yearicles, other historians accepted this view, but it was later determined that Froomchop merely wanted to finish his book before the end of his years.

• -19,230 - In a cataclysmic event, perhaps the most sever ever seen by the land of Battal, the landmass of The Shield and The Sickle are shattered by a powerful Geotelespacial Fractarent; The result is that the single land mass is broken into 16 large relatively closely spaced islands.

The Longest Moment: 4:35:00pm to 4:35:13pm BUST, Medianary 26th, 9473 (TLM)

This age, described in an epic poem Tycho Brahe allegedly wrote while taking severe allergy relief (see The Rise and Fall of Minuschitae), descibes the effects that a brief sigh, given off by a napping Frand Burgrove, has on Minuschitae, a kingdom contained within a hair on Frand's pillow. In this painstaking description of the unspeakable horror and inevitable destruction of the once peaceful kingdom, The Sundering is foreshadowed, and Vaxin the Tiny is introduced.

• Medianary 26th, 9473, 4:35:00 PM - Frand Burgrove drools in his sleep. A globule of his spittle combines with the existing detritus upon a hair of his pillow (which was in fact a dead badger) and The Kingdom of Minuschitae is thus created.

• Medianary 26th, 9473, 4:35:07 PM - The 508th King of Minuschitae chokes to death on a matzah ball in his soup, bringing an end to the direct line of god-kings and signalling the start of the Great War of Minuschitae.

• Medianary 26th, 9473, 4:35:08 PM - The Great War of Minuschitae comes to an end with the Slaughter of the Micronic Plains and the ascent of the Littleosopher-Kings, ushering in a 2 second golden age of peace.

• Medianary 26th, 9473, 4:35:12 PM - Burgrove begins to sigh, signaling the beginning of The Minupalypse.

• Medianary 26th, 9473, 4:35:13 PM - Yar the Sorcerial enchants Ronard's Very Large But Unenchanted Spikey Hammer, thus creating a portal back to Battal and releasing a tremendous wave of magical forces resulting in his own birth. Yar and Vaxin the Tiny are the only ones known to escape Minuschitae before the Minupalypse, although it is theorized that the Littleosopher-Kings may have successfully left the kingdom as well.

The Spica Wars: 9,473 to 10,435 (TSW)

• 10,159 - Rdclslcmplxnm the Unprouncable dies, choking in an attempt to say his own name.

• 10,429 - The fragile and temporary Peace Treaty of 10,429 is established. Thus ending the Spica Wars.

The Sundered Era: 10,435 to 17,910 (TS)

Note: The term "The Sundering" refers to the actual breaking of the world, although some sources use it to label the period from 10,435 to 17,908. To add additional confusion, some timelines list the era from 12,066 to 17,910 as The Unsundering (abbreviated TU). The reason for the selection of year 12,066 is unclear.

The following section is divided into timeline events that happened in The Shield, and events that happened in The Sickle. During this time period there was no interaction or interplay between these two lands.

• Globenster 41st, 10,435 - The Day Absolutely Nothing of Any Import Happened

• 10,435 – Unbelievably Potent Magic Energies Are Released When Zonard, Of The Line Of Ronard, Clashes With Yar the Sorcerial. An Eldritch Rift Breaks The World Into Two Parts, The Shield And The Sickle, and the Cataclysmic Bluont, the previously unknown Third, most Epic part. This is one of the Slippery Years.

• 10,438 - The Incident at Finkfru

Sundered Timeline for The Shield

The Great War of Magiks and Things - 15843 to 15882

Sundered Timeline for The Sickle

Century of Fire - The Savage Brutality Of The War Men: 17,910 to 18,009 (CoF)

• 17,910 to 18,009 – This is period of a hundred years of geological upheaval where molten rock sewed the shattered world back together. It is during this time that the now immortal Char Reyarteb – with the Starborn Gem and his legions of subterranean War Men unleashed by The Unsundering – sets out to conquer the reformed world of Battal, with the aid of the newly created magik force, Dark Elemenstation.

• 17,923 to 17,973 - During this time the Arkleaf was utterly destroyed in a 50-Year Siege of Arkleaf.

• 18,000 - The Death of the founder of the Warrior Chefs of Battal, Alton Longsword, marks the start of the Teflon Age and the rise of the Council of Cooks in Teflonicus.

The Lost Factions of the Unknown Misgivings: 18,009 to 19,109 (TLFotUM)

• 18,009 to 18,097 – Beginning of an age of chaos and unrest as the mostly ignored peoples of the Khith-Cohoris-Wutel finally unite under the banner of Lord Kinlo. Kinlo swore to defeat The Wizbits due to some sort of slight against his ancestral line. During this shortlived but epicly morose period Kinlo's followers laid waste to the careful plans of a hundred different alliances, none of which, it should be noted, included the Wizbits, who were to arrive some 1,000 years after Kinlo's death. This disparity was dealt with in the anonymously authored Refound Factions of the Lost Factions of the Unknown Misgivings Trilogy, which was published in 16,014, lost for centuries, and then rediscovered sometime after 19,000.

• 18,080 - Lord Kinlo and the Khith-Cohoris-Wutel undertake the Siege of Trembaloo.

• 18,304 - the Year of an Inordinant Amount of Suffering

• 18,526 - The Mist Sea of Yymp is lifted through the breaking of an ancient curse. Southern Yymp goes on to be known as rather sunny and pleasant, if not a tad on the dull side.

• 18,909 - Angered by being excluded from The Unsundering and essentially ignored for over a thousand years despite being more epic than all the other lands put together, the The Willestrians of the Cataclysmic Bluont begin to plan revenge.

• 19,000 - The Dressentors, a race of demonic dresser drawers led by the Daemon Beareu, arrive to feast upon the world. Char breifly engages them, killing the leader by accident, and sending the enitre race into submission (See: Submission: Dressentors)

• 19,014 - The citizens of Battal first learned of the fact that Unothath was, in actuality, the birthplace of the infamous immortal, Char Reyarteb.

• 19,078 - Extemporary Feculence is born.

• 19,098 - Aklom Reklats discovers the locations where suitable attackers of the now nearly-immortal Reyarteb are to be born, and plants a magical verdant sapling in each town.

• 19,108 - Possibly affected by his own future Temporal Elemenstations and/or the verdant saplings planted by Aklom Reklats, Extemporary Feculence, a poor farmhand who aspires to become a Warrior Elemenstor, dreams the events of The Wizbits Cartoon, which turn out to be a vision of one possible future.

The Shortest Millennium: Dawn, Primanary 1st, 19,109

Following the events of Countdown to Infinite Wizbits, all the mutually contradictory Four Underdogs timelines were folded into an inaccessible paradox-negation ward at this precise moment in time, preventing them all from irreparably damaging the timeline. These events are still recorded here as they have not ceased to have ever occurred, but neither do they have any bearing on the prime timeline, which continues afterwards.

All these timelines begin with the following event, but continue in different ways:

• 19,109 - Blasted backwards in time from 19,129.0027 (in the Wizbits Extreme timeline) and charged with Temporal Elemenstation power, a much older and wiser Extemporary Feculence explodes over the Wang Mountains, causing to time itself to shatter like a window into half a dozen (later, infinitely many) warring "reality shards", all suspended in a sea of un-time. Extemporary Feculence's spirit becomes trapped "between time" on Battal-X, the Wizbits Extreme timeline.

ElamenSTAR: 19,109 to 20,034

ElamenSTAR serves as the foundation (and arguably the cause) from which the timelines of Battal split. After the split, however, this timeline ceases because it is paradoxical. None of the other timelines could exist without it, but all of the other timelines ostensibly replace it with a different chain of events. See ElamenSTAR.

The Dreaming Feculence: 19,109 to 20,034 (TDF)

The second timeline formed in 19,109. See The Wizbits Cartoon. Elemenstor Gearstrike will probably also take place in this timeline.

Wizbits Extreme: 19,109 to 20,034 (WX)

The third and fourth timelines formed in 19,109. See Wizbits Extreme and Wizbits Extreme: Ultra battle Final. There are actually two separate Wizbits Extreme timelines; it is unknown what differences there are between them.

ElamenSTAR Shuffle: 19,109 to 20,034

The fifth timeline formed in 19,109. See ElamenSTAR Shuffle. This timeline bears little relation to the original ElamenSTAR timeline and is set on Alternate Battal.

The Four Underdogs: 19,109 to 20,034 (FU)

The sixth timeline formed in 19,109 (See Elemenstor Radio Dramas). This is the primary ELotH:TES timeline upon which the 13 book cycle was originally based and the one which corresponds most strongly with the prime timeline (below).

The Four Underdogs: 19,109 to 20,034

This is the paradox-free prime timeline created as a result of Countdown to Infinite Wizbits and the timeline which is continued below. While not yet officially recorded, this can be assumed to be a distilled and improved "highlights reel" of all the previously recorded Four Underdogs timelines.

• 19,445 - the Great Erasing. Vilificus the Really Vile, last of the Line of Erasers, answers the ancient riddle, "Is it possible for The Eraser to be so eraseful that The Eraser could erase itself?"

• 20,019 - Theoric the Eversnide appears from the past with the Staff of the High Augur, presents it to the Elder Scion Collective. He is asked to come back in sixteen years.

• 20,033 The single day war known as the Great Elemenstation War, the primary influential recent historical event among Elemenstors in books 1-3 of The Elemenstor Cycle.

The Rise Of The Elemenstors: 20,034 to 25,478 (TRotE)
