Timeline

## Before Time

### The Great Void

Before the Big Bang, there was nothing but a dark blackness with only the Alpha/Omega (a mysterious object of pure energy) radiating in the center of all the void.

## Beginning of the Universe (13.8 Billion Years Ago)

### Big Bang

The Alpha/Omega suddenly expanded from an explosion of cosmic energy as the spaceship Lifebringer One carrying the Taa-an Galan. Galan was the sole surviving being from another universe that was undergoing a Big Crunch and was attempting to find a way to save his people when his ship was suddenly plucked from his native reality by the One-Above-All. Galan was imbued with immense cosmic energy and undergoing a metamorphosis and was being incubated by his ship.

### Creation of the Fundamental Forces

The One-Above-All then tasked the Living Tribunal to create the four fundamental forces of the Universe those being: Death (the fundamental force of decay and destruction), Infinity (the fundamental force of life and construction), Oblivion (the fundamental force of the void before and after both the universe and time), Eternity (the fundamental force of Earth-2001497 and of time itself). Parts of the Alpha/Omega become the six Infinity Stones.

### Cosmic Entities

The Living Tribunal further used the cosmic energy to create more entities. Those entities included the following:

* The Phoenix Force is formed as an embodiment of life and passion as well as being the nexus of psionic energy.
* Mistress Love and Sire Hate are created as fraternal twins and counterparts of each other being the embodiments of love and hate.
* Master Order and Lord Chaos are created as counterparts and are the embodiments of order and chaos respectively.
* Witchcraft is created as the "Goddess" of magic and is the pure embodiment of cosmic magic.

Furthermore the Fundamental Forces created their own entities including

* The Queen of Nevers is made by Infinity to represent the possibilities and probabilities.
* Oblivion creates Anomaly as its agent.
* Eternity creates several beings
	+ Entropy, Explosion, and Gravitation are the embodiments of the Big Freeze, Big Bang, and Big Crunch respectively.
	+ Empathy, Enmity, Epiphany, Eulogy, Expediency, and Hope embody various aspects of the universe.
	+ Eon becomes the embodiment of time
		- Now and Then represent the present and past
* Infinity creates the Origin to create planets and new beings
* Two aspects of Oblivion split off from it and follow their own destinies.
	+ Amatsu-Mikaboshi goes to the location of modern-day Earth and creates a kingdom of darkness for itself.
	+ Knull escapes to the edge of the Universe to remain in the remnants of the void.

### The Great Old Ones

It was around this time that the Great Old Ones either arrived in the Universe or were created. The exact origins of these beings are unclear.

### Creation of the Planets

The Origin first created the first planet by using a mysterious jewel of cosmic energy known as the M'kraan Crystal. The Origin then created the first living beings on this planet and it was habitable, although the first species died soon after. The Origin then used the first planet as a blueprint although it substituted the M'kraan crystal for a more conventional core.

### Proemial Gods & Mortal Life

Tired of working alone, the Origin created beings known as the Proemial Gods in order to help it seed life for the future. The Proemial Gods were Antiphon the Overseer who was tasked with watching and documenting the creation of life, Aegis who was tasked with guarding the creations that were made and making sure that order was present, Brio who was tasked with making life, Diableri who was tasked with sowing chaos with the creations so that there would be order, and Tenebrous who was tasked with keeping the creations together through his generation of cosmic energy and matter.

Some of the beings that were creating included the Watchers who were created in the image of Antiphon so that they could help him document the Universe, the Acanti the first mortal beings in the universe, the chaos sprites beings that would help Diableri sow chaos in the Universe, and several other species. Some of those species would die off with only a single, immortal member from each surviving who were then imbued with cosmic energy. These surviving members of their various species would then form a loose confederation known as the Elders of the Universe.

### Arrival of Galactus

The Lifebringer One would eventually crash on the planet of Ecce the Watcher who documents the incubation of Galan. Galan would eventually woke up and took his ship from the planet to the planet Archeopia. Galan would incubate further more until he finally finished becoming a being of pure cosmic energy though contained in a suit of his own creation. Galan became Galactus the Devourer of Worlds and absorbed the energy of Archeopia: destroying it. Galactus was unhappy with this event, however it was necessary for him to live and was intended to clear the way for new things to be created. Galactus would created the Worldship known as Taa II (which was the size of a solar system) in order to travel the universe without expending more energy than necessary.

### Proemial God Civil War

Diableri would eventually corrupt his brethren causing them to engage in an all-out civil war against each other with Brio dying in the conflict. The Origin then abandoned its godly creations and began creating in their stead. The fighting would eventually draw the attention of Galactus who personally ended the war slaying Diableri and imprisoning the remaining Gods in the Kyln, a powerful prison created by the Origin. The Kyln functioned doubly as a prison for the Proemial Gods and other beings of similar power or danger, and as a source of power for several planets with the cosmic energy being drained from the beings, in particular Tenebrous. Much later, the Kyln would get a third purpose, that of a sacred site because of its significance to creation of the Universe.

### Arrival of the Celestials

The Celestials, immensely powerful beings from the first incarnation of the original Universe, suddenly arrive in the Universe and take a great interest in the life of the Universe. The Origin allows the Celestials to tamper with the evolution of the life in the Universe and allows them to create things in their own right. The Watchers opposed the Celestials as they saw them as outsiders who were tampering with the natural order of things. The Watchers then gave information to one race, the Prosilicans, to get them to fight back against the Celestials, however the Prosilicans used the information to go to war with each other eventually wiping their species out. This incident made the Watchers resign themselves to their tasks as the historians of the Universe and make an oath of non-interference.

### The Brood

The Brood arrive in the Universe through unknown means. The prevailing theories include through the voids of either Knull or Amatsu-Mikaboshi or that they somehow came through from another Universe. In any case the Brood became the first true predators of the Universe with the Brood either consuming beings or implanting an egg in them that transforms them into a member of the Brood with their mind and genetic material becoming part of the hive-mind. The Brood would develop technology and enslave species like the Acanti and Starsharks to serve as transport to help them in their quest for conquest and consumption.

### Knull

Knull was awakened because the work of the Celestials was encroaching on his empire in the void. Enraged by this, Knull began a quest to exterminate the Celestials from the Universe and destroy all life and creation to revert the Universe back to the void so he could rule. During his quest, Knull created All-Black the first symbiote and turned it into a Necrosword. Using the Necrosword, Knull killed several Celestials and Gods, including one Celestial who was decapitated. Knull used the head of the Celestial to create more Symbiotes, and the head would eventually become Knowhere. The body of the Celestial would become a prison-like afterlife of torture for those killed by All-Black.

## New Life in the Universe

### Beginning of Earth (3 Billion Years Ago)

The Demiurge, a being created by Origin, goes to Earth, which had just been formed, and begins creating the Elder Gods, the main ones being: Chthon (the creator of Black Magic and writer of the Darkhold), Gaea (the mother of Earth and the Gods of Man), Isuus, Oshtur (who gave light and justice but also left to explore the universe), and Set the destroyer.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi was enraged that the Gods were infringing on his territory, and began corrupting some of the Elder Gods into Demons. Gaea procreates with the Demiurge and gives birth to Atum, the sun god, in order to defeat these demons. Atum kills and absorbs so many demons that it becomes corrupted and turns into the Demogorge the eater of Gods. Chthon and Set banish themselves to other dimensions to avoid being eaten by the Demogorge. As a demon, Chthon writes the Darkhold but is forced to leave it on Earth when he flees Earth. The Beast, one of the demons, is overlooked and remains on Earth.

Gaea begins giving birth to the Gods of Man. These Gods then create numerous pocket dimensions such as Asgard or Heaven to serve as their own realms, and later some would serve as afterlives for humans.

### Creation of the Ten Realms

The realms known as Niffleheim and Muspelheim were created from ice and fire respectively. The ice and fire melded together and created Yggdrasil and connected several realms together. Four of these realms (Asgard, Alfheim, Nidavellir, and Vanaheim) were all part of the same pocket dimension on the continent of Greater Asgard with the other realms (Heven, Jotunheim, Midgard/Earth, Svartalfheim, Muspelheim, and Niffleheim) were all separate pocket dimensions (or in the case of Midgard, the greater Universe itself) that could only be accessed through Yggdrasil whose "branches" could be used to open portals to other realms or through the Bifrost a "bridge" from Asgard that could be used to access the other realms, in particular Earth.

### Rise of the Ice Giants and the Aesir

From the ice of Niffleheim, the first Ice Giant Ymir emerged from the ice with the rest of his species also coming from the Ice. The first Aesir known as Buri also emerged from the ice and the Ice Giants allowed him to live. Buri lived with the Ice Giants and even married with them having the children Bor, Mimir, and Njord and established the Aesir Clan.

### Creation of the Skrulls

The Ancient Skrulls are visited by the Celestials who run experiments on them. The result is that the Skrulls are given the power to morph their bodies and are given an immense intelligence which they use to advance their civilization.

### Creation of the Kree

The Celestials visit the Ancient Kree and experiment on them. As a result of the experimentation, the Kree are split into two "Races" a blue-skinned one and a pale one. The Cotati also develop on Hala and have a rivalry with both races of Kree.

### Creation of the Shi'ar

The Shi'ar develop from avians on Chandilar in the Shi'ar Galaxy. The Shi'ar develop technology and begin to conquer their galaxy and form the Shi'ar Empire. The first empire in existence.

### Creation of the Xandarians

The Xandarians develop on the planet Xandar in the Andromeda Galaxy. They begin forming their own empire and begin a rivalry with the Skrulls who also begin forming an empire.

### Start of the Kree-Skrull War

The Skrulls under Dorek I begin expanding and sharing their technology with the other species of the universe. They discover both the Kree and Cotati and hold a competition of the Blue Side of Earth's Moon to see who is worthy of their technology. The Cotati win the competition but the Kree steal the technology and turn against the Skrulls and begin a genocide against the Cotati. The Cotati flee to other planets and the Kree-Skrull War begins.

### Mortal Life on Earth

Mortal life begins on Earth with creatures in the vast sea eventually evolving into creatures like dinosaurs and early mammals.

### Celestial Presence of Earth

A celestial known as the Progenitor crash lands on Earth.

The Celestials locate the Progenitor and decide to experiment on the Humans. They find that Ancient Humans are capable of many things and are interested in their development. As such they attempt to evolve some members of the species to be protectors but their first attempt fails and begins the Deviants. The Celestials do a second attempt and succeed and create the Eternals. The celestials also put the X-Gene in the Humans for added diversity. Around this time Set creates the Serpent Men who become jealous of Humanity.

### Establishment of the Kingdoms of Asgard and Vanaheim

Bor would succeed his father as the Clan Leader but was tired of sharing land with the Ice Giants as he felt that the majority of them were barbarians. Bor would lead the Clan to Greater Asgard where he established the Kingdom of Asgard. The Kingdom dominated the continent, although Bor made alliances with the Light Elves of Alfheim and the Dwarves of Nidavellir which allowed them to have their own independent realms and kingdoms with the rest of the continent being Asgardian land. Eventually Njord founded his own Kingdom Vanaheim and while Bor disliked the kingdom, he refused to conquer it. A rivalry would then develop between the Kingdoms.

It was around this time that Bor married the Ice Giant Bestla with whom he had the children Cul, Odin, Vili, and Ve. While Cul was Bor's eldest son, he chose Odin to be his heir as Bor had a vision that Cul would bring disaster to Asgard while Odin and his lineage would ultimately bring it prosperity. This would cause Cul to resent Odin. A notable event during Odin's training for his eventual rise to King was that he began spending time with humans and attempted to instill Asgardian culture in them, but was rebuffed by Bor who disagreed with Odin helping a primitive and weak race. Two humans that Odin influenced were Aske and Embla.

### Aesir-Ice Giant War

When Cul was wandering the Earth, he was attacked by a band of Ice Giants and brutalized. This spurred Asgard to declare war on the Ice Giants. As a result Bor led Odin, Vili, and Ve to invade Niffleheim while a recovered Cul would wage war against the Ice Giants on Earth. Bor would be killed by an Ice Giant mage and in a rage Odin ordered the extermination of the Ice Giants. The first target that Odin had was Ymir, with Odin and his brother cutting Ymir down and exterminating nearly every single Ice Giant save Bergelmir and his wife. Cul's campaign on Earth was brutal with Cul becoming known as the God of Fear because of his tactics and viciousness.

### Rebirth of the Jotun

Bergelmir and his wife escaped to Jotunheim and had several children which would evolve from the Ice Giants to the various Jotun which were the Frosts Giants, Storm Giants, the reborn Ice Giants (who returned to Niffleheim), the Rime Giants, Mountain Giants, Rock Giants, Wind Giants, Lard Giants, Shadow Giants, and Brine Giants.

### Aesir-Aesheim War

In the aftermath of the Aesir-Ice Giant War, Cul attempted to usurp the throne from Odin but failed. Cul then established his own Kingdom on Earth which he named Aesheim. Odin refused to recognize the rogue state as legitimate and declared war on his brother. Odin attempted to gain the favor of the Vanir, however they sent support to Aesheim rather than Asgard. Fearing that Asgard would lose the war, Odin sacrificed his right eye in exchange for wisdom so he could defeat his brother. Odin got the wisdom to win the war, however he also learned of the prophecy of Ragnarok which would spell the end of Asgard and the Ten Realms and create another cycle. Odin crushed Aesheim, but was unable to bring himself to kill Cul and instead imprisoned him deep in the Earth's oceans. Odin then burned Aesheim to the ground and destroyed all documentation of Cul in order to prevent anyone from reviving him. Odin also exterminated all of Cul's human subjects.

### Start of the Aesir-Vanir War

Odin was enraged with the Vanir for allying with Cul and in particular was enraged with his cousin Freyr who was the King of Vanaheim. Odin issued a proclamation that Vanaheim was a rogue state like Aesheim and that it would be returned to the governance of Asgard. Having just finished a war, Odin attempted to reintegrate the Kingdom through peaceful means at first, Freyr refused which further enraged Odin and the two began militarizing. Freyr contacted Surtur to give the Vanir extra power against the larger Asgardian force. Surtur used a fire storm against the Aesir which properly started the War. The war lasted for centuries with periods of intense fighting, truces, and minor skirmishes. During one period of truce, the living disembodied head of Mimir was returned to Asgard after he was executed by the Vanir. Odin used magic to turn Mimir into a fiery being who would act his advisor.

### Amatsu-Mikaboshi War

Amatsu-Mikaboshi once again attempts to conquer the Earth in order to return it to the void, but Gaea and the Amatsu-Kami defeat it and seal it in the Yomi, the Japanese Afterlife, however, Amatsu-Mikaboshi takes over the realm and decides to rule it.

### Loki's Children

When Odin learned of the children that he had with the witch Angerboda (Jormungand, the Fenris Wolf, and Hela), he was fearful because of his visions of Ragnarok. Odin threw Jormungand into the depths of Earth's oceans with a seal on it and the Fenris Wolf was chained in the forests of Greater Asgard, though the hand of Tyr was bitten off in the process. Hela was taken to Niffleheim which had become the realm of the dead and was given absolute authority over it, Hela would then create the sub region of Helheim to serve as the place for the dead, greater Niffleheim as the r=place for the dishonorable dead, and Valhalla (which was actually part of Greater Asgard) for the honorable dead.
