Timeline

This is a timeline meant to put the events in the *Wings of Fire* series in chronological order.

Do note that the second arc takes place six months after the first arc, but for the sake of convenience they are split into two years in this timeline. Everyone whose age was only mentioned in the first arc might therefore in fact be one year younger than depicted here (same goes for events).

If you're looking for detailed summaries of the books, please go to their individual pages instead. This is just an overview of main events.

As with in the books themselves, AS stands for After Scorching.

 **Hatchings** | **NightWings:** Clearsight, ListenerTemplate:Ref

 **Events** | Queen Diamond sends an offer to Arctic: he may return to the IceWing tribe and the war between them and the NightWings will be over, on the condition that he kills his two dragonets. He refuses (for now), however.

 **Events** | Albatross murders most of the members of the royal SeaWing family in a massacre, as well as one of the two SkyWings that had come to negotiate with Queen Lagoon about SeaWing villages on the coast of SkyWing territory. As a result, the villages are abandoned and tributes are paid to the SkyWings for the next five years. As one of the only survivors, Queen Pearl ascends to the SeaWing throne.
 **Deaths** | **SeaWings:** Albatross, Eel, Humpback, Lagoon, Manta, Reef, Scallop, Splash
**SkyWings:** Sunset

 **Events** | After a year of solitude, Fathom is sent to the Night Kingdom to stop Darkstalker from using his animus magic, along with Indigo, Lionfish, and Wharf. After Indigo nearly kills him when they first meet, Darkstalker enchants his scales to be invincible, and creates the soul reader to keep Fathom from worrying about his magic.
Clearsight becomes Queen Vigilance's head seer after she foresees an IceWing attack while secretly releasing pet scavengers with Listener. On her hatching day, she is given a carved NightWing by Fathom, as well as one of Darkstalker's three dreamvisitors. He gives another to Fathom and keeps the third one for himself.
Foeslayer takes off her enchanted earring after an argument with Arctic, allowing Queen Diamond to capture her and create the Diamond Trial. On Vigilance's orders, Darkstalker enchants an invisible shield around the Night Kingdom that kills all IceWings, and later traps Indigo in a wooden carving, making Fathom believe she left him.
On Vigilance's festival to celebrate 40 years of her being on the throne, Clearsight introduces Whiteout to Thoughtful. Darkstalker is nearly assassinated by Quickdeath, but protected by his enchanted scales. Using his magic, he finds out that Vigilance was the one to send the assassin, and plots to kill her in return. However, Arctic takes Whiteout to the Ice Kingdom, and Darkstalker enchants him to follow him back to the Night Kingdom, where he then forces his father to disembowel himself. Clearsight tells the NightWings to leave the Talon Peninsula, takes Darkstalker's scroll, and with Fathom's help, manages to trick him into accepting her bracelet that would then put him to sleep for hopefully forever.

Prince Singe is killed by Burn for "annoying her". Two weeks later, Burn's forces are trying to find Blaze's Fortress, but with the recent news, Burn decides to get the MudWings on her side first (which she eventually accomplishes by threatening them).

The Dragonets flee with Peril's help, Clay meets his family in the Mud Kingdom, and Ruby becomes Queen of the SkyWings.
The Dragonets of Destiny reach the Summer Palace of the SeaWings, where they meet Tsunami's family, the royal SeaWings. After being discovered by Tsunami, Orca's enchanted statue is destroyed, stopping the murdering of Coral's daughters. The Summer Palace is attacked by Burn's forces, causing the SeaWings to retreat to the Deep Palace.
In the rainforest, the Dragonets discover that RainWings have gone missing and also find the NightWing Tunnels. After Glory gets captured by the NightWings as well and escapes again, she challenges the RainWing queens for their throne and wins.
Starflight gets kidnapped by Morrowseer and discovers the NightWings' plan to take over the rainforest. He meets the False Dragonets of Destiny and finds a dreamvisitor he uses to contact Glory. This leads to the RainWings attacking the NightWing Island and freeing the kidnapped RainWings as the volcano erupts.

Sunny contacts the three SandWing sisters with a dreamvisitor she was given by the scavengers Holler and Fluffy, and everyone meets at Burn's stronghold as a comet passes Pyrrhia.

In an attempt to kill Icicle, Sora sets off an explosion in the history cave, but Icicle survives and Sora decides to flee from the academy with her brother Umber. Icicle, blackmailed by Scarlet with a dreamvisitor, heads for the rainforest to kill Glory. Moon reveals her powers to her winglet and receives a new prophecy.
Winter and most of the rest of his winglet manage to track down Icicle on the NightWing Island, and she is taken prisoner by Queen Glory. With the help of Pyrite, they find Scarlet, but Shapeshifter severely injures Kinkajou. Winter discovers that Pyrite is actually Hailstorm, and after taking Kinkajou to Possibility, he and his brother fly to the Ice Kingdom where they undergo the Diamond Trial. Hailstorm goes back to the other IceWings, pretending to have won and killed Winter, while Winter frees Foeslayer and leaves with her.
Peril and Turtle leave Jade Mountain to find and kill Scarlet, first heading to Possibility to find the rest of the Jade Winglet. However, Peril runs into Soar, her father, who reveals his true identity (Chameleon) to her before giving her a necklace that removes her firescales, which she eventually takes off again because of an additional spell that made her loyal to Scarlet. Scarlet makes Ruby give up her kingdom, but Ruby challenges her for the throne and wins thanks to changing back into Tourmaline for a few minutes, killing Scarlet. The Jade Winglet manages to take Darkstalker's scroll from Chameleon and Peril burns it, accidentally freeing Darkstalker in the process.
Turtle enchants a stick to keep him hidden from Darkstalker, who places spells on the dragons he meets, making them like him instead of being concerned or afraid. Turtle also enchants Qibli's earring to give him immunity from Darkstalker's spells, as well as a bowl that can duplicate objects. Darkstalker heads for the rainforest, giving several NightWings various superpowers before taking them to the old Night Kingdom and becoming their king. Anemone heals Kinkajou, but also puts a love spell on her. After Darkstalker exiles Anemone because of trying to enchant him, Turtle follows her and fights her at the old Island Palace, revealing that he enchanted her to be an animus. Darkstalker uses a spell to teleport them to his palace, and upon seeing Turtle, imprisons him and takes away his animus powers.
Darkstalker sends a plague to the IceWings, killing several dragons, most notably Queen Glacier. Her daughter Snowfall becomes queen.
Meanwhile, Qibli decides to make everyone immune to Darkstalker's spells by multiplying his enchanted earring with Turtle's bowl. Onyx takes Ostrich to Vulture, the leader of the Talons of Power who is responsible for the bombings that have happened in the Kingdom of Sand. Qibli and Winter help Ostrich escape, along with Qibli's mother Cobra who is then taken prisoner by Queen Thorn for conspiring against her. They learn of the IceWing plague from a hybrid named Typhoon, and he volunteers to take some of Qibli's enchanted earrings to the tribe. Vulture and the revealed-to-be-royal Onyx challenge Thorn for the throne, but Qibli interrupts the duel by casting a sandstorm. While taking cover in the dungeons, Thorn finally releases Prickle. After reuniting in the Night Kingdom, the Jade Winglet heads to Jade Mountain Academy because of the IceWings' planned attack. Darkstalker and the NightWings follow, resulting in the Battle of Jade Mountain which is ended by an empathy spell created by Qibli and Turtle. Darkstalker reunites with Foeslayer and is turned into Peacemaker by Kinkajou, using pieces of the enchanted scroll she took from Chameleon earlier.
