Timeline

A chronological **timeline** of events within the Grishaverse. The documented history of which spans many centuries and various nations.

## Pre-Trilogy

### The Creation of Morozova's Amplifiers

* Ilya Morozova creates three amplifiers, initially believed to be the Stag, the Sea Whip and the Firebird. In reality, his youngest daughter, whilst being "otkazat'sya", was in actuality the third amplifier — the result of her being resurrected. A hidden trait that carried through her bloodline for generations.
	+ As a result of bringing his child back to life after Baghra killed her using the Cut, both Morozova and his youngest daughter are wrapped in irons and thrown off a bridge into the water below. However, his daughter survived and continued the bloodline, mothering a line of descendants, the last of which being Mal Oretsev.

### The Dawn of the Shadow Fold

* Baghra and an unknown Heartrender conceived a child, who she named Aleksander. He would later come to be known as the Darkling for his ability to summon shadows.
* The Shadow Fold is created by the Darkling, known then as the Black Heretic.
* After faking his death, the Black Heretic reinvented himself, allegedly destroyed all of Morozova's journals, and took command of the Second Army.

* Kaz had recovered from his fever and used Jordie's body as a raft to swim back towards the shores of Ketterdam.
	+ Kaz headed towards the neighborhood where the Hertzoons had lived and attacked a kid outside a sweatshop. Kaz emptied his pockets, took his bag of liquorish, and threw his pants into a canal.
