Key: Normal Text is the Ember Mythos/Emberverse/Clintonverse, Bold text is the Rob Mythos/Robverse/Kennedyverse. Italics is the Infinite Oceans universe.

Extra Note: I will not be putting in events without dates on them. (I will make exceptions if I can correlate it to another event of a similar time and nature).

Also, events that happened in the Monument Mythos will not be listed, unless something here contradicts lore from there.

October 9th, 1945- An alternate plan commences.

3 prototypes are shown to the president and top generals of the United States, all of which are designed to end the war. Suggestion 1 was an orbital weapon with laser beams to heat up a target. It was denied. Suggestion 2 was a remaster of 1918 pyramidplasma weapon, which could be mounted on a boat or plane. It was authorized for future development. Suggestion 3 was a seismic superweapon capable of creating earthquakes. It was chosen.

**November 5th, 1945- Morlin's canoe tipped over and reportedly met the Underwater Panther. He then created project Altamaha-Ha with Isaiah McCorckle Sr., and future founder of Maize, Rob Watroba.**

December 5th, 1945- The weapon activates, causing a large hole to be blown through Mt. Fuji. The Japanese surrender.

December, 1945- A team of 4 American, 3 Chinese, and 2 British troops go into the Fuji Fortress.

It is found out they were performing experiments on POWs with the spire and Giza Glass, including one Steve Barret. The team burned most of the photos shortly after exiting block E of the fortress. Whilst they went to blocks A, B, C, D, and E, and recorded it, it was not known what was in block F.

January, 1946- American researchers ventured into block F of the Fuji Fortress.

After analyzing the spires, a group of quadrupedal entities (Presumably the peepers) attacked them. Only one survivor, with the knowledge of the spires, left the fortress. That was J. Robert Oppenheimer.

They were eager to explore, for Mount Everest had been experiencing earthquakes after the Fuji Gate opened. They contacted the Chinese government, but they had no interest. However, President John F.

July 17th, 1993- The Memphis Pyramid is turned into a weapons platform for a laser.

In a remastering of the 1918 Pyramid Plasma weapon, the United States government authorizes for a large laser to be mounted on top of the Memphis pyramid. The project is called VPDWS.

August 1st, 1993- The Tennessee Tragedy occurs.

As an ICBM roars toward Memphis, the pyramid begins preparing its laser. However, the laser shoots too late, and the ICBM hits Memphis. 400,000 die instantly, and Memphis becomes one of the 25 lost cities of America. The radiation afterwards was further enhanced by the properties of Giza Glass.

Whilst Bush was campaigning for president at the New Memphis Pyramid, a pane of Giza Glass fell down, and decapitated the governor. People attempted to run away, but more panes fell. 181 people, including Bush, were beheaded, and a further 350 were greatly injured. Whilst the DoT brought most of the new crowns to the grand canyon, Bush was kept at the top of the New Memphis pyramid for research. The pyramid was turned into a federal facility.

2000- Nile Technologies rebrands as Nile following the 3rd World War.

They start up anew as a general tech company.

2001- IMPACTOR-VIII went to the moon of Pluto.

It had spires. Project Starspire confirmed that the outer solar system was littered with dormant spires.

July 4th, 2002 (Or just 2002, idk)- Nile Space (A branch of Nile) is apparently beginning to offer space tours for veterans, engineers, scientists, and students.

2002- Nile joins project Starspire.

Nile (And it’s daughter company, Nile space) join project Starspire. It’s the first new company to join.

December, 2005- President Al Gore uses bits of the Seraphim to contain the forests of special trees, and the Alcatraz, Rushmore, and Washington zones cease to exist. The UZA is no more.

2006- Nile Containment, yet another branch of Nile, is made to assist with Project Starspire.

**2007- A couple crashes at Hardin Bridge, causing the tree underneath to awaken and them to be teleported.**

**December 3rd, 2007- Aaron Hayes is transported to the Kennedyverse.**

# The 2010s

July 19th, 2011- The Mt. Rainier metaphysical research facility sends a message to the Robverse.

July 23rd, 2011- The message is recovered by federal authorities.

July 24th, 2011- Another video from the facility, showing the surveyor, Steve Barret, is recovered.

**July 29th, 2011- Isaiah McCorckle, head of Whitshell, receives an urgent message.**

**It’s from the Emberverse at the Mt. Rainier metaphysical research facility, regarding how this communication has opened up the spire in Rainier, and urges them to leave the premises. However, Whiteshell acted too late to evacuate everyone off of Mt. Rainier. However, instead of a spire, Rainier undergoes a volcanic eruption. Project Echidna is formed to control it. It fails.**

July 29th, 2011- The Rainier Gate opens.

President McCain was alerted immediately, and Operation Typhoon (Typhon?) was conceived to close the gate. With the help of Nile’s new branch, Nile Armory, it begins. 2 million citizens are evacuated from Mt. Rainier, as an F-117 Nighthawk departs from California with an experimental warhead to take the spire out. As it approaches the 7.8 km. tall spire, it releases a beam at the nighthawk. The F-117 and its pilot are never found. The Rainier zone is established. Shortly after, the Acolytes Of The Titan Christ, a far right organization, is formed against Nile and Project Starspire. The Rainier spire darts off to the moon, and it’s projected to reach it on April 8th, 2024. This aligns with the day of the North American solar eclipse. Mt. Rainier proceeds to go through a large eruption.

*2011- The Servants of the Light’s shell (TSOTLS) listen to the Sage’s “Sermon of the Retaliation” likely talking about the Rainier Gate opening.*

May 12th, 2023- The US Department of Containment (DoC) is founded by President Bernie Sanders before his death.

2023- Members of the Acolytes break into a Nile research facility on Denali, where an Everest class spire is found. AFter stealing hundreds of files, they dart off.

April 8th, 2024- The Acolytes Strike.

First, they bomb the Capitol building and supreme court, along with the World Trade center. Next, 3 planes are hijacked. The 1st hits the Pentagon, the 2nd hits the New Memphis Pyramid, but the 3rd is shot down by F-35s scrambled by the air force. President and Vice President Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are evacuated. On his way to a secret military base, an acolyte with a gun shoots through the window of Sander’s vehicle, killing him. Warren is then shortly sworn in after. The United States army then moves into D.C. to silence the chaos.

April 8th, 2024- The splitting happens. Project Starspire fails.

The North American Solar Eclipse occurs, and the moon covers the sun. The spire of Mt. Rainier is armed with a part of the angel and fires it at the moon. It then splits into Luna and Alius.

On the lunar gateway space station, they record the splitting.

**2024- The United States Of America is turned into the United Zones Of America, comprising 13  “zones”. These are Columbia, Carter, California, Huey, Dean, Texas, Buren, New Mexico, Plains, Oregon, Dakota, Mondale, and Brunswick.**

April 8th, 2024- Tsunamis start rapidly appearing. D.C. is flooded, and major metropolitan areas by the coast descended into chaos. Millions have perished by the next day. It is then found out the splitting was part of a major “offensive” against humanity, led by Steve Barret, the surveyor/vessel. It is also found out that the spires have hieroglyphs inside them, resembling ancient Greek. Scientists also figure out the spires may be older than the universe itself.

April 13th, 2024- Earthquakes erupt all over the world, as the spires leave their locations in the mountains on mass. It is found that their destination is mars.

April 25th, 2024- The Olympus Gate opens.

Peepers swarm the coasts of almost every continent, starting near Atlantis, in the Atlantic Ocean.

And that’s all for now until the next episode comes out. Make sure to correct us if we made a mistake!
