Timeline

*Edited for your convenience by an official Magnus Institute editor*

This is a timeline of the major events in the Dopplerspace. To track the events, year 0 is The Cataclysm. Anything before The Cataclysm will be marked as Before Cataclysm (BC) and anything after will be marked as After Cataclysm (AC). The start of the campaign takes place roughly 1000 years post Cataclysm.

### Distant Past

Not much is known about the time before The Founding. Scholars have gathered that the Dopplerspace was empty aside from random debris that floated in from the surrounding Astral Sea and the Great Void at the center of the system. There are no signs of life from before The Founding or anything material specific to the Dopplerspace itself. It is one of the great mysteries of the Dopplerspace for what came before the Gods in The Founding.

### The Founding

From the darkness of a wildspace filled with nothing but an empty void at its center came the Founders to bring life. It isn't known where the Founders came from or why it was them out of all of the gods of the multiverse that chose this specific wildspace to bring life too, but they brought with them a light to contrast with the void. The original Founders were Norn, Jonas, Egon, Marek, and Magnus, and through their vision and power came all of the planets and citadels that exist in the Dopplerspace.

* ~500 BC - The Founders enter the Dopplerspace
* The artifacts of old are brought together and taken by each of the Founders
* Norn creates the planet Norn, Egon creates the planet Egon
* Jonas creates the Citadel of Jonas
* Marek creates the Citadel of Marek and Marta
* Magnus creates the Cat's Eye
* Oshan is born

### The Golden Age

The Founding caused for each of the planets and citadels to develop and prosper in their own ways. The Founders would occasionally come and check on their creations and influence the way of technology and magic to improve the lives of the beings they were responsible for.

* Norn creates the moons of Norn for his children
* Norn takes on Oshan as an apprentice
* The Kingdoms of Marta are established
* Egon starts developing mining technology
* The Citadel of Marek's magic schools are established
* Citadel of Jonas starts the Astral Arena Showdown

### The Cataclysm

Nobody is too sure how the Cataclysm started or why. All of the planets have records of a bright light and then a wave of energy starting from the Citadel of Marek and propelling itself across the entire Dopplerspace. This destructive wave wiped out 60% of life that hit its path as the magical forces within it could not be contained. All of the Founders besides Marek and Magnus were never heard from again. Within a matter of moments, the Dopplerspace was forever changed.

### The New Age

After the chaos and destruction that came with the Cataclysm, a change must be made to the order of things so that another Cataclysm wouldn't happen again. Magnus, one of the Founders, took it upon himself to make this change. Working with the remaining leaders of all of the planets, especially Marek, the only other remaining Founder, The Magnus Institute was founded to ensure order and peace throughout the Dopplerspace. Headquarters were established in the Cat's Eye to watch over both the Great Void and the rest of the Dopplerspace.

* 1 AC - Magnus Institute established
* Citadel of Marek and Magnus Institute collaborate on interplanetary peacekeeping force
* Interplanetary communication established
* The first Spelljammer Helms are created
* Citadel of Jonas' Astral Arena Showdown is started again
* Egon advances its mining efforts to become a resource for the whole Dopplerspace
* Space Buc-ee's is founded
