Orchestria Timeline

This page is a collection of all important events that occur on Orchestria.

## Stanzas

A Stanza is an arbitrary length of time. A Stanza will end after a significant event has occurred, such as the Great War, if a war is what ends a Stanza, the Stanza will end after the war. There are currently four Stanzas, one prehistoric Stanza and three modern Stanzas. The date is written like [Stanza number]S [Year number].

### Prehistoric Stanza

The prehistoric Stanza's beginning started when the instruments were created, although the exact god or gods that created them are unknown. Very little is known about this Stanza, apart from the very end of the Stanza. This Stanza ended after the formation of the five kingdoms of Orchestria.

### Modern Stanzas

#### First Stanza

This Stanza began after the formation of the five kingdoms of Orchestria. The beginning this Stanza was a period of growth and peace. Early on, the Grand Accord occurred, solidifying the period of peace. This peace didn't last, however, it is unknown which war broke the period of peace. The first Stanza ended after the Era of Instability.

#### Second Stanza

The second Stanza is the most eventful of the Stanzas. It began after the Era of Instability. This Stanza shows the rise of the String Kingdom as a great power and a scale of bloodshed that wasn't seen again until King Tuba II's invasion of Orchestria, also known as the Tuba Wars. The Stanza showed many notable wars, such as the Three Nation Alliance's intervention in the Key Kingdom and the Great War, which ended the Stanza.

#### Third Stanza

The third Stanza is the current Stanza, beginning after the Great War. The Stanza is characterized by a shift in power, since the Brass Empire now contests the String Kingdom's role as the sole great power in Orchestria. Being a relatively new Stanza, there are currently only a few major events. The first being the subjugation of the Woodwind Kingdom by the Brass Empire and the last being the beginning of the Tuba Wars.

## First Stanza

Some dates in the first Stanza may be incorrect, due to the lack of sources for historians to work with, as such some dates early in the Stanza will be rounded to the best estimate we have.
