Timeline of events in LotO

This page is a summary of events described in *The Legend of the Oakborn*.

This page will use this wiki's convention on timekeeping, summarized in the following:

* **number of years + BC1 :** to describe events taking place before chapter 1 of LotO. (*Example:* 5 BC1 means "five years before chapter 1").
* **number of years + AC1** : to describe events taking place after chapter 1 of LotO. (*Example:* 5 AC1 means "five years after chapter 1").

Events taking place in the same year or in the same interval of years will be listed in order so that the first listed event is the first to have taken place.

## Many centuries BC1

* The Black Brother, the White Sister and the Grey Mother forge the rings of NFPUO.
* After the death of the Grey Mother, a war ensues between the forces of darkness led by the Black Brother and the forces of light led by the White Sister.
* Having won the war with the help of the ring of balance, the White Sister and her followers decided to sever it into three pieces and hide each in a remote place in the galaxy. The rings of light and darkness are lost.
* A prophecy is born, according to which the next bearer of the grey ring would be *oakborn* and they would restore balance after an era of great instability.
* The planet Nameera is left scarred after a super-weapon malfunctions. Thanks to a kyber crystal deep in its caves, life on the planet thrives under its surface and the planet itself becomes partially conscious.
* A piece of the grey ring ends up on Nameera, and the planet is called into protecting it.

## Around 200 BC1

* Taei is born on an unspecified planet.
* Sometime during their youth as a Jedi, Taei finds themselves on the planet Eleuthéria and remains fascinated with the natural beauty of the planet and its untamed wilderness. During the following years the planet seems to call to them, and Taei begins to feel a certain responsibility to protect it and preserve it. During one of their visits they discover the source of such a strong call: they find a piece of the grey ring hidden there for centuries. Once they are promoted to Jedi master, they decide they can no longer protect the piece by visiting the planet frequently and decide to take the piece with them and away from Eleuthéria.

## 48 BC1

* Hades is born on the planet Oligon from Ronis and Wrea of clan Theos. Wrea would die shortly after giving birth.

## 47 BC1

* Loris Klover is born on an unspecified planet. Sometime before reaching age 12, he would be admitted into the Jedi Order and move to the Temple on Coruscant.

## 33 BC1

* Hades, at age 15, escapes his home planet after the death of his father and arrives on Coruscant, where, despite some hesitation from the members of the Jedi Council, Taei decides to take him as his Jedi padawan to be trained in the ways of the Force.
* In the Jedi Temple Hades meets 14-year-old Loris with whom he would develop a deep bond over the following five years.

## 28 BC1

* At the age of 20, on a mission with his master, Hades finds an ancient Sith artefact, a holocron, and decides to bring it with him on Coruscant unbeknownst to Taei.
* Fearing he would fail his Jedi trials to become a knight, and tempted by the power and teachings stored in the holocron, despite Loris' attempts at reassuring him, Hades sneaks out of the Temple at night and leaves the Order.
* Loris completes his trials and becomes a Jedi knight at the age of 19.
* After a few months Loris hears that Hades has attacked a small Jedi outpost and stolen a Jedi holocron. Knowing a Jedi and Republic joint force had tracked down Hades and was converging on his location (an unspecified remote planet) to arrest him, and fearing for his friend's fate, Loris runs off to warn Hades before he would be found and dissuade him from the dark path he had begun to follow. Loris is unsuccessful and, having performed a merging of the holocrons, both Hades and Loris receive visions of the future and of their own demise. Left for dead with some broken bones, Loris is recovered by the Jedi and brought back to the Temple, while Hades escapes and is never apprehended.
* Back at the Temple Loris is punished lightly and interrogated, but ultimately he is reinstated into the Order. However, soon after healing his injuries, Loris decides to leave the Order for good. Sometime before 19 BC1, he would meet, and later marry, a woman by the name of Lyra. Together they would go live in a small farm on the moon Yavin II.
* Having escaped to the far edge of the galaxy, Hades begins his studies in the ways of the Sith.

## 26 BC1

* Lloyd E. Aeron-Miller is born on Dantooine in a respectable and moderately wealthy family.

## 19 BC1

* Fearing the visions of defeat that were shown to him by the holocrons, and having found out that Loris was living on Yavin II and that his wife was pregnant, Hades, now 29 years old, travels to the small farm and kills Lyra and, presumably, the twins she carried, in front of an helpless Loris.
* A few days later Loris finds newborn twins abandoned at the base of the oak tree where Lyra was killed. He names them Cal and Lena and decides to adopt them.
* Struck by grief for the loss of his wife, Loris reaches out to his old Jedi friends master Taei and master Yan-Nen Garin and begs them to help him capture and bring Hades to justice once and for all. They agree to help and Loris convinces them to bring him his old lightsaber that he had surrendered upon leaving the Order. They begin the search for Hades, which would last about a year, during which time Cal and Lena are left in the care of the Jedi Order.

## 18 BC1

* During the search for Hades, Loris is informed that Cal and Lena, at the unprecedented age of 1, have begun showing signs of Force-sensitivity. Loris considers leaving the twins to be raised by the Order to become Jedi.
* Loris, Taei and Yan-Nen locate Hades on the moon Thanatos V, and confront him. Loris, blinded by rage, attempts to engage him in combat, but is quickly put out of action by Hades, who in the meantime has grown powerful with the dark side. Yan-Nen and Taei engage in combat, and while Yan-Nen is soon knocked out as well, Taei manages to defeat his old apprentice, leaving him scarred on the face. However Taei had grown caring of his old padawan and cannot find it in their heart to kill him. Taei leaves Hades to die in the approaching storm and flees the moon with Loris and Yan-Nen. Hades is thought to be dead.
* Loris wakes up on a ship on its way from Thanatos V and tells Taei that he intends to keep the twins as his own. He goes back to live with them on Yavin II.
* Hades survives the storm on Thanatos V and goes into hiding. He spends a decade learning all there is to know about the Sith and the dark side. He learns of NFPUO and begins his quest to retrieve it. In the following years he would find the black and the white ring and he would also learn of the prophecy and grow weary of it.

## 8 BC1

* 18-year-old Lloyd is tricked by Lance Rose into joining a bank heist as a getaway pilot. As a result he is arrested and his dreams of joining the navy are shattered. Once out of prison, Lloyd decides to join Lance and his Rose Gang and he will remain with them for six years.

## 6 BC1

* Twelve years pass and having learned about the twins adopted by Loris and their mysterious appearance at the base of an oak tree, fearing the prophecy and his visions, Hades, now more powerful than ever and in possession of two rings of NFPUO, emerges from the shadows and travels once again to Yavin II to confront Loris and deal with the children. Sacrificing his own life, Loris is able to save 13-year-old Cal with the help of Yan-Nen Garin. Before his death, however, Loris does not manage to bring Lena to safety. Hades decides to spare her and take her as his apprentice, lying to her about the death of Loris.
* Cal is taken to the Jedi Temple and there he begins his training to become a Jedi, as a padawan of Yan-Nen.
* Now Jedi Grand Master Taei, unwilling to cope with the fact that his hesitation to kill Hades lead to the death of Loris, suggests to himself and to the order that perhaps Hades was not the man that attacked the farm and killed Loris. A proper investigation set on determining this is delayed multiple times and ultimately never brought to conclusion.
* The Jedi Order commissions a droid manufacturing company, Android Nova, for a new especially designed series of assistant droids. The same year, the Order receives the first experimental model named CH-6.
* For the following 6 years Lena is raised by Hades and grows strong in the ways of the dark side.

## 2 BC1

* Hades begins preparations for his return. Through connections he made in the criminal underworld he is able to acquire a small private army, which is however not enough for his plans, so he donates his forces to a young Coalition for Independence, a union of planets wishing independence from the Galactic Republic, in exchange for command of the united Coalition forces. At this point the Coalition is nothing more than a separatist political movement, with little to no support, and the tendency for a diplomatic approach to independence, but as Hades is able to infiltrate the ranks, he pushes for military action and gathers supporters for the cause. In a year the Coalition has become a discrete military force with an army and a navy, whose command has been granted to Hades, ready to wage war against the Republic. Hades' true intentions are to use the military forces for his plans of revenge and has no true loyalty to the separatist cause.
* In the meantime Hades continues the search for the scattered pieces of the grey ring, the only one missing from his collection.
* After the death of Lloyd's close friend and fellow member of the Rose Gang, Percy Bayle, Lloyd steals credits and a ship from his gang and leaves the group with the help of fellow member Gwyn Storm, who however decides to stay. Following this betrayal, Lance makes it his priority to track down Lloyd and reclaim what he is owed.
* Lloyd spends the following two years as a lone outlaw, using the stolen credits to modify his new ship.

## Book I (0 AC1 - 4 days AC1)

* Hades comes to learn that one piece of the grey ring is hidden on the planet Eleuthéria, and hires a mining company to begin excavation of specific areas on the surface.
* At the age of 19 Cal is sent on his first solo mission with his droid CH-6 to investigate the sudden cessation of transmission from the planet Eleuthéria. He discovers that a mining company with its own private army has taken control of the system and has begun extensive excavations on the planet. Cal and CH-6 infiltrate the lunar base from which the mining company was overseeing its operations and find out that the excavation was being paid by a client by the name of Hades. In the base they meet and free a captive Lloyd Aeron-Miller, who returns the favour by helping Cal and CH-6 escape the base with a stolen ship.
* Cal and CH-6 return to Coruscant to inform the Jedi Council. Grand Master Taei and the rest of the council is sceptical about Hades' involvement, doubting even that he is truly alive, but nonetheless decide to send a Jedi and her padawan to investigate further. Cal is disappointed, wishing he had been assigned to the mission, eager to obtain as much information as possible about Hades and potentially his sister Lena, unsure if she had survived Hades' attack on Yavin II six years earlier. Cal decides to disobey his masters and leave the temple with CH-6 that same night to conduct the investigation on his own.
* Hades, displeased with the lack of secrecy with which the mining company has carried out the operation, decides to take the search for the pieces into his hands and uses the power of the NFPUO rings that he possesses to wipe out the lunar base. Since his involvement had been discovered, Hades decides to anticipate his plans and commences the attack of the Coalition forces on Coruscant.
* Back on Eleuthéria, Cal finds the moon on which the mining company had settled completely obliterated, only a few self gravitating chunks remaining. He manages to land on one such asteroid, where a large part of the base was still visible, and there among the ruins and debris he finds a passed out, but uninjured Lloyd. They flee the asteroid but are chased down by a Coalition scouting party left there by Hades. They manage to evade it and head to Coruscant.
