Timeline of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity takes place in Avalir over the course of about twenty-four hours (dawn to almost sunrise) in the Age of Arcanum, right before the beginning of The Calamity. On the eve of the Replenishment, an event that occurs once every seven years, the Ring of Brass realizes the implications of Vespin Chloras's ritual to ascend to godhood two weeks earlier. They work through the night trying to stop the forces seeking to bring the banished Betrayer Gods back into Exandria and hope to avert the inevitable war between the gods. The eve of the Replenishment is also the eve of an Apogee Solstice, a special and powerful type of solstice that occurs about once every 120 years and makes great arcane workings possible.

The following is a timeline of the campaign. It includes a number of significant events that take place before and after.

Pre-campaign
The Schism
 * Among the final battles, Pelor and Melora seal the primordials Rau'shan and Ka'Mort under Mount Ygora, leading to the founding of Toramunda.
 * The Betrayer Gods are banished from Exandria.

292 years prior
 * Imyr Por'co and the Gau Drashari negotiate an arrangement where the wizards may take the peak of Mount Ygora for their flying city in exchange for a tithe and the responsibility of caring for the Tree of Names.
 * Wizards, led by Imyr Por'co, separate Toramunda into the flying city of Avalir and the terrestrial city of Cathmoíra.
 * The Tree of Names, unbeknownst to Avalir, begins writing an abjuration spell across the world to protect Exandria from extraplanar threats.

112 to 119 years prior
 * On an Apogee Solstice, The Raven Queen ascends to godhood, becoming the new god of death.

119 years prior
 * Replenishment year.
 * During the Replenishment, the Gau Drashari update the Pact of Crown and Throne and build the Arboreal Calix to protect the Tree of Names.

9 and a half years prior
 * Evandrin becomes First Knight of Avalir.

8 or 9 years prior

 * Karwen, an oracle in Avalir's Hall of Prophecy, delivers a prophecy that the Tree of Names will be destroyed and the Calamity will occur. She is deemed mad and the prophecy false. Oracles who attempt to heal her began to go allegedly mad as well.
 * A Betrayer God, presumably Asmodeus, makes a follower a k'nauthi to engineer a return to Exandria.
 * While Avalir travels over Gwessar, the Hall of Prophecy contacts the Chair of the College of Divination regarding the allegedly mad oracles. The Chair, in turn, contacts the Ring of Gold.
 * Avalir is stationed over Vasselheim, its last port of call, for ten days.
 * While over Vasselheim, the Eyes of Avalir is informed that Vespin is missing. They search Avalir for him and, failing to find him and believing his death a simple failed ascension ritual, dismiss the case.

Over 1 week ago
 * Volucia, of the Ring of Gold, begins working with the Hall of Prophecy to attempt to help the allegedly mad oracles.

Recently
 * With her marriage to Cerrit Agrupnin strained by his obsessive dedication to his work, Wrayne leaves Avalir for Gwessar until Cerrit provides a reason for her return.
 * While Avalir is traveling over the ocean between Vasselheim and Domunas, a squad of Sightwardens from the Eyes of Avalir is sent back to Vasselheim to search for Vespin again following a request from the Ring of Silver not to destroy Vespin's personal items. They still do not find him.
