Timeline (Prime Universe)

# Time of the Gods

## Time Immemorial (Circa 16 Billion Years Ago)

### Arrival of the Dragon

A being simply known as the Dragon arrived in the Prime Universe from an unknown other realm (possibly another Universe in the Omniverse or maybe the Ever After) and began creating worlds.

### Birth of the Brothers

After millions of years of creating, the Dragon began to feel lonely and began searching the cosmos to find another being like itself. Unable to find another being like itself, the Dragon decided to create one. In order to do this, the Dragon split itself in two creating the God of Light and the God of Darkness.

## Creation of Remnant

### Experiments

The two brother Gods went to a planet and decided to live there. The two Gods created separate realms on the Dragon Continent (which was fashioned in the shape of their old form). The God of Light creates the Domain of Light and the God of Darkness creates the Land of Darkness.

The God of Light liked using the powers of creation while the God of Darkness liked using the powers of destruction. The brothers fell into conflict as to direction of the world. The God of Light used his powers to create life, while the God of Darkness used his to snuff it out. Eventually the God of Darkness created the Grimm in order to destroy life basing them off the wildlife that God of Light created to mock him.

## 1st Century

### Year 1

#### Creation of Humanity

The God of Light grew tired of the feud he and his brother were stuck in and proposed a deal to end the status quo by offering to create something together. The two worked together to create Humanity and gave them the power to create and destroy and was given the gifts of choice and knowledge. The God of Darkness also imbued each of the humans with the capability to wield magic which was a heavily downgraded version of the power that the Brother Gods held themselves. The God of Light in turned imbued humanity with the gift of Aura, which would enhance their natural abilities and serve as protection for them.

## 2nd Century

### 124

#### Beginning of Kingdoms

After centuries of survival humanity united together to create the first Kingdoms for them to live in. Hundreds of kingdoms of various sizes and power arose across the planet.

## 11th Century

### 1275

* Princess Abigail was born in the Kingdom of Sortilege.

### 1290

* Giles (14) began his adventure in the name of fame, fortune, glory, and love.

## 12th Century

### 1301

* Gilles (25) saved Princess Abigail (24) of the Kingdom of Sortilege from a band of raiders.

### 1302

* Giles (26) married Princess Abigail (25) and was crowned King of Sortilege.

### 1303

* Salem was born in the Kingdom of Sortilege to King Giles (27) and Queen Martha (26).
	+ Queen Martha died in childbirth.
	+ Disappointed that he had no male heir and fearful that he could lose Salem, Giles locked Salem away in a tower with only a nanny for company.

### 1305

* Gilles (30) became a despot and ruled Sortilege with an iron fist. The cause of this change is unclear.

### 1313

* Ozma (13) left his home to begin his quest to become a hero.

### 1319

* Ozma (19) was knighted for his services to protect humanity and became renowned for his purity and pursuit of justice.
* Salem (16) began writing stories about the cruelty of her father and scattered them throughout the kingdom in hope of attracting people to come rescue her from her tower.

### 1324

* Ozma (24) traveled to Sortilege and learned of Salem's (21) plight. Ozma pledged to rescue Salem, not for her hand in marriage but because it was the right thing to do. Throughout several days, Ozma fought his way into the tower and challenged Giles (48) in a duel. Though a tough battle, Ozma ultimately prevailed and killed Giles, freeing Salem. Through several weeks, Ozma and Salem flee Sortilege and the army. During this period the two fell in love. After making it to safety, the two decided to travel the world together

### 1326

* Ozma (26) and Salem (23) married in an unknown kingdom.

### 1330

* Ozma (30) contracted an illness and dies after several months.
* Salem (27), unable to handle being separated from her beloved, ventured to the Domain of Light in order to beg the God of Light to revive Ozma. While the GoL sympathized with Salem, he refused to resurrect Ozma in order to preserve the balance of life and death. Unable to accept this, Salem traveled to the Land of Darkness to ask the God of Darkness. The GoD agreed to fulfill Salem's wish as she is one of the very few humans who expressed faith in him and actually bothered to ask him for something. Seconds after resurrecting Ozma, the GoL arrived and disintegrated Ozma. The GoD revived him once more and the two Brothers nearly came to blows. The GoL then informed his brother that Salem has previously sought him out and was attempting to trick him into fulfilling the wish. Not wanting to destroy the balance he had with his brother, the GoD apologized to his brother and killed Ozma once again. Enraged and horrified, Salem attempted to use her magic against the Gods, but they used their power to bring her to the Domain of Light and drop her into one of the pools which cursed her with immortality. The Brothers explained that the curse would last until Salem properly came to terms with life and death and as such she could not be with her beloved until this occured.

### 1330-1345

* Salem refused to listen to the Gods and after many failed suicide attempts, decided that she would lead humanity against them in revenge. Salem showcased her newfound abilities to kings and queens far and wide and convinced them that they would all be able to become immortal if they helped her overthrow the Gods. Many kingdoms swore their loyalty to Salem and committed troops to the cause.

### 1345

* Salem (42) led her army into the Domain of Light where they faced with the Brother Gods. The humans attempted to use magic against the Gods, but the God of Darkness simply caught there attack and used his own power to wipe out all of humanity, except for Salem. The Gods then left the planet, and in the process shattered the moon. The moon fragments then pelted the planet and became enchanted because of their contact with the Gods. These fragments of the moon would become Dust.
* Distraught and alone, Salem traveled to the Land of Darkness and found the largest Grimm Pool in the land. Salem flung herself into the pool in hopes of finally finding death. While the pool put Salem in agony, it could not kill her and instead began to corrupt and mutate her into a Half-Grimm Hybrid.

## 3rd Century BF

* Before the Brother Gods left what would become known as Remnant, The God of Light used Dust to recreate humans. These humans would not have access to magic, though the God of Light left each human being with what would become known as semblances, which took the place of magic. The Faunus are created from the mixture of various animals and the dust.
	+ The appearance of the GoL to the Faunus after their creations would lead to the creation of the "God of Animals" a deity that the Faunus worshiped.
* The God of Light creates the Relics.
	+ Ambrosius is born.

## 1st Century BF

* The God of Light sees that humanity was having a war of survival against both grimm and animals. Taking inspirations from the new species that evolved since their absence, the God of Light disguised himself as the "God of Animals" and used his power to turn a group of humans into the first Faunus with the intention of having the Faunus helping keep the peace between humans and animals. Despite this humanity turned on the Faunus and saw them as wicked.
* At the same time, the God of Darkness watched from what would become Menagerie and saw what his brother had done. While originally angry, the God of Darkness speaks with his brother and saw what transpired after the creation of the Faunus. Taking pity on the Faunus, the God of Darkness disguised himself as the "God of Animals" and personally brought willing Faunus to his home in Menagerie and set up the land for it to serve as their new home away from humans. The Brother Gods then decided to leave Remnant once again and pledged to not return or interfere until they were summoned.

### The Tale of Joan Arc

In the newly created Kingdom of Vale, a massive Grimm incursion was besieging the region of Gallia. A woman simply known as Joan, led the militia of Gallia against the Grimm and successfully defended the region, though her home town of Arc fell in the process. For her service in defending the kingdom, Joan was knighted. Joan also adopted the name Arc as her surname in honor of her fallen village.
