Timeline

Below is a truncated list of major historical events in the primary "Source" timeline, separated by age. Events within each age are in rough chronological order according to inference of logical event progression. Many past events viewed by Lozenge or other characters are not given a date. Also, due to the Church essentially erasing the past and instituting a new calendar arbitrarily, actual year numbers are referred to in their relation to the "Tribulation Year", or the year of the Hoarfrost Apocalypse, with a plus (+) or minus (-).
