Events timeline

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.*
This is a **timeline** of the *Warriors* series, starting with *Squirrelfern's Secret*. It is not a summary of books - it is a table that shows **when** a particular event occurred, so viewers can see the succession of events and calculate how much time passed between two moments, or how old a cat is at a certain point in the books. The *Warriors* series does not have an established dating system. However, in an attempt to document and organize the timeline, the Wiki uses two dating systems, being *YBP*, and simply *Year*. Please keep in mind that these are not official, only names given by the editors to document the timeline and eras of Clan history.

*YBP = Years Before Petalstar was born*

*Year = Years following Petalstar's birth*

Only major events and characters are listed. For additional details on plots, click on the book titles. A blank box indicates that no cat was born and/or died at that time.
