Timeline

This timeline is a broad chronological overview of events in Exandrian history. For more specific and detailed timelines for each campaign of Critical Role, see timeline of Campaign 1, timeline of Campaign 2, and timeline of Campaign 3.

Notes and explanations
This time line uses the official calendar on page 41 of the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting.

Most dates outside the stream are approximate. For example, sources will often say something like "400 years ago" or "a millennium ago," which obviously isn't meant to be exact. Likewise, many dates are described as "less than" or "more than" or "nearly" some number of years ago. A character's birth year is generally their age subtracted from the year when the age is mentioned, though of course that could be off by one year if, for example, the age is mentioned earlier in the year than that character's birthday. This language should be included in the citation for clarity.

Conflicting evidence
Many dates in this time line are based on evidence that the streamed events of Campaign 1: Vox Machina took place between 810 and 812 PD. That evidence includes the following:
 * In, Vincent Clor specifically noted that the date was 12 Misuthar 812 PD, which was the same day Vox Machina fled from a bad battle with Vecna into the Feywild.
 * Winter's Crest offers a convenient marking of time: there was one in the pre-stream adventures (a ruined festival in Westruun, but Emon threw another festival to make up for the spoiled one), there was another just days before the Chroma Conclave attack (the thin barrier between planes on that day helped Thordak escape the Elemental Plane of Fire), and there was one during Vox Machina's long break from adventuring right before the final days of the campaign.
 * The map accompanying the Tal'Dorei Campaign SettingTyriokTalDoreiMap.jpg was inscribed with the year 812 P.D. ("Post-Divergence"), and was created by Tyriok Gadsworth, who was in the process of creating the map in, which took place at the beginning of the year following the Chroma Conclave's attack on Emon. The Campaign Setting was set roughly one year after the fall of the Chroma Conclave.
 * Matthew Mercer said on Twitter that, in relation to Campaign 1, Campaign 2 was "over 20 years later." Campaign 2 starts in Sydenstar 835 PD.
 * The canon media time line released in June 2021 shows Vox Machina's campaign taking place between 810 and 812 PD.


 * The Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn confirms that 836 PD is 24 years after the end of Campaign 1.

That said, the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount contradicts all of the above: it repeatedly states that the Chroma Conclave's attacks on Tal'Dorei and Draconia occurred in 815 PD. The guide also notes that the Myriad set up a satellite group in Tal'Dorei twenty years ago (i.e. 815 PD), and it is amply established that they had a foothold in Tal'Dorei by the time Vox Machina began.

This was reinforced in an episode in 836 PD: Beauregard Lionett recalled that Delilah Briarwood was ousted from the Cerberus Assembly "25, 26 years" earlier, which would be 810 PD. She fled and eventually took over Whitestone five or six years before Vox Machina led the rebellion against them, suggesting that Whitestone was liberated in 815 PD.

Slightly less straightforward evidence of conflict: Allura Vysoren appeared to be in her mid-fifties in 836 PD. If the Chroma Conclave attacked in 810 PD, and Allura led a group of adventurers who sealed Thordak about 15 or 16 years before that, then Thordak was sealed in 794 or 795 PD, when Allura would have been a young teenager.

Although the canon timeline released at the announcement of Exandria Unlimited shows Vox Machina's campaign taking place between 810 and 812 PD and the new mini-campaign taking place in 842 PD, the announcements repeatedly say that the mini-campaign takes place "almost" or "nearly" thirty years after the Chroma Crisis, which would have occurred between late 810 and early 811 PD.

Another specific date doesn't seem to fit either scenario well: in, set in 826 PD, Matt starts the episode by saying it has been "just over a decade since Vecna's ascension and subsequent banishing." That doesn't fit with Vecna's ascension being in 817 PD, as it would have been if the Chroma Conclave attacked in 815. And it's a slight stretch to say 14 years is "just over a decade."

Vincent Clor's date contradicts another couple of pieces of canon, in a smaller way. He stated that the date was 12 Misuthar, but a previous episode indicated that Vox Machina was taking a full one-year break that would have ended weeks after 12 Misuthar. One could treat that "one year" as approximate, but that one-year break included the creation of a permanent teleportation circle in Whitestone, which would take exactly one year. It's not a big adjustment, so this time line simply treats the 12 Misuthar date as correct.

The Founding and prior events

 * Kryn creation myth: The Luxon was born at the creation point of the universe and traveled the universe in search of self-knowledge, the Luxon traveling the universe. The Luxon eventually found lifeless planet that was to become Exandria and gave their light to it. This imbued the world with live, and the resulting elemental chaos gave birth to the Primordials, who fought one another and the Luxon. Believing that a cycle of rebirth was necessary for life to improve, the Luxon created the Luxon beacons from themself, then fell into a deep slumber.
 * The Primordial claimed the world as their own and lived beneath the surface of the world.
 * A Primordial titan seed was planted in what would become the Rifenmist Jungle.
 * The gods of the pantheon, drawn by the Luxon's activity, arrived at Exandria.
 * The gods created the peoples of Exandria. It is commonly believed they first created the elves, then the dwarves, then humans, then other races. The gods gave these people divine magic, then created the metallic dragons to protect them.
 * A dark, alien power seeped into reality and threatened all life on the world. The gods banded together to banish it, and it crystallized into the moon of Ruidus.
 * The Primordials attacked the people of Exandria. The gods who wished to protect the mortals from the Primordials became known as the Prime Deities, and those who sided with the Primordials and allow chaos to reclaim the world became known as the Betrayer Gods.
 * During the ensuing war, the Prime Deities gifted mortals arcane magic so that they may better defend themselves. The Betrayer Gods were eventually banished to prisons on other planes, and the Primordials were destroyed or also banished.
 * Tharizdun was imprisoned beneath Gatshadow Mountain.
 * A Primordial earth titan, in its final battle, was slammed into the ground violently enough to create the Zenwick Mountains.
 * : After the Prime Deities' victory, Vasselheim, was founded.
 * The world was named Exandria.
 * The Kuul'tevir, noble predecessors of the lizardfolk, built cities with magic nearly on par with the elves'.
 * An unknown civilization had a settlement in the area that became the Ivyheart Thicket.
 * Arriving through a portal from the Far Realm, aboleths and other aberrations conquered the Underdark beneath the Bladeshimmer Coast and drove their slaves to build their capital: Salar, the Unseeable City. They slowly began expanding toward the surface, and their psychic energies gradually produced the azuremite of the Crystalfen Caverns.
 * Primeval elves felled the Molten Titan, giving birth to the Daggerbay Mountains.
 * The societies of the drow fell to decadence and cruelty, making their leaders vulnerable to the influence of Lolth. Some in the Post-Divergence believe that Lolth created the drow herself in the late Founding or early Age of Arcanum.

The Calamity
See The Calamity for an overview. The war that came to be called the Calamity wiped out most of civilization.

0 to 399 PD

 * Ioun's followers went into hiding.
 * The Blooming Grove was built.
 * Halflings began farming in the Dividing Plains and the foothills of the Cliffkeep Mountains.


 * Early post-Divergence: Druvenlode was established.

 * Wood elves returned from the Feywild united under the sorceress Yenlara, their first leader after the Divergence, and founded the city of Syngorn in the Verdant Expanse.
 * Approximately or shortly thereafter: Kraghammer was founded by the survivors of Uthtor and led by Clan Jaggenstrike.
 * Uthodurn was founded.
 * The arcane forest fire in the future Greying Wildlands finally burned out, but one section of forest survived, which would rebound as the Veluthil Forest. The smoke from the fires took a little longer to clear.
 * Halflings began cultivating the Felderwin Tillage.
 * Approximately : A Luxon beacon was found in Blightshore near the base of the Penumbra Range.
 * Approximately or earlier: Thordak began ruling over half of Marquet.
 * Humans sailed from Issylra to the western coast of the continent that will later be called Tal'Dorei; their first settlement was the port city of O'Noa.
 * After 312 PD, some time before 494 PD: Humans in western Tal'Dorei spread until they controlled all the western shores, and founded the city of Emon.

Yenlara's grandson, Syngorn's diplomat to Emon, tried to resolve things diplomatically, but was tortured and killed, kicking off the 32-year Scattered War. The elves of Syngorn established the hidden Emerald Outpost to keep watch on the growing Kingdom of Drassig. Within the next nine years, the port city of O'Noa was devastated in one of the bloodiest battles of the war.
 * — The Golden Grin was established.
 * , while Yenlara lived — The wood elves and their allies from human colonies oppressed by the Kingdom of Drassig ambushed and killed Warren Drassig at the village of Torthil.

 * — The Star of Exaltation, born from a tear Bahamut shed in the Founding, was used as a focus in a ritual to bring the god's intervention to defend Vasselheim against a terrible siege. This destroyed the artifact.
 * — Zan Tal'Dorei's forces backed King Trist Drassig's forces into a valley at the base of the Cliffkeep Mountains, but a flood of fiends poured into the battlefield. Against all odds, Zan Tal'Dorei's forces prevailed, ending the Drassig bloodline, the infernal pact the Drassigs had made, and the Scattered War. The blood of the demons thereafter blackened the grass and flowers that grow there, and the area became known as the Umbra Hills; the energies unleashed killed the forest in the valley, afterward known as the Grey Valley. The leaders of the Verdant Expanse convened a council, crowned Zan Tal'Dorei as Sovereign in a power-sharing arrangement, and named the realm Tal'Dorei.
 * Between 511 PD and approximately 526 PD — The trade unions of Westruun laid claim to the Shadebarrow.

 * — The Council of Tal'Dorei convinced Syngorn and Kraghammer to join in an alliance against Errevon, and together their forces battled Errevon back through the rift, which the Ashari druids sealed shut. The victory was later celebrated annually as the Winter's Crest festival.
 * Approximately — Gruumsh-worshipping goblins stormed the Lushgut Forest and desecrated Sepesca, the Ki'Nau's holiest of burial temples, where Melora's blood was said to have spilled before the Divergence. The Ki'Nau fled and the site was left in ruins.
 * — Following more than three years of debate—and Eckhardt Dwendal making deals to build support for his son among guild leaders—Manfried Dwendal was crowned as the first emperor of the Dwendalian Empire. He soon banned worship that did not promote the interests of the empire. Soon afterward, Berleben was settled.
 * — The Admonition: Emperor Manfried Dwendal had leaders of various faiths executed after they attempted to usurp the throne in rebellion against his religious restrictions.
 * 544 PD — The Julous Dominion, attempting to cement their rule over the area around Kamordah, drove independent villagers nearby into the Cyrios Mountains.
 * 544 PD — The Dwendalian Empire declared war on the Julous Dominion, kicking off the 16-month Marrow War. The high cleric of the Julous Dominion made a pact with a devil of the Nine Hells to protect against the Empire. Devils and undead swarmed the Marrow Valley, which did offer protection against the Empire but also menaced the residents. The Raven Queen gave one of her priests, Trence Orman, knowledge of blood magic, which he spread to trusted friends. So began the Claret Orders. The Claret Orders purged the valley of the fiends and undead, and Dwendalian forces promptly swept in.
 * — Dwendalian forces occupied Zadash. Baron Inock Julous and Baroness Tessandra Julous met with Manfried Dwendal to negotiate a peace but were executed instead, leaving the Dominion leaderless and bringing the Marrow War to an end.
 * Around — The Eve of Crimson Midnight: A conflict between high-born arcane practitioners of the former Julous Dominion and those of the Empire's noble houses broke out into all-out warfare in the streets of Rexxentrum. The combatants were apprehended and, in exchange for amnesty, agreed to serve the Crown directly as a council of mages called the Cerberus Assembly, after the organization of the same name that was destroyed in the Calamity.
 * — Due to a relic retrieved from the wreckage of Aeor, a wave of purple-grey shadow suddenly engulfed Molaesmyr and began slowly corrupting the entire Veluthil Forest, causing surviving refugees to flee to Bysaes Tyl or to the Flotket Alps, where they stumbled upon Uthodurn.
 * Probably approximately Thordak, not yet matured into an ancient dragon, attacked Ank'Harel but was seemingly killed by J'mon Sa Ord. Thordak, nearly dead, washed up on the island of Viscan, where the long-exiled Marquesian necromancer Opash discovered him and enslaved him for years, hoping to use him to achieve immortality.

 * The party returned to Westruun to look for help in removing the phylactery from Grog. They sought the help of Lady Kima of Vord, but she was already on her year-long pilgrimage by this time. They began hearing rumors of missing children. Elowen Brist asked the party to find her son Simon a few weeks after he disappeared.
 * Drez Vina hired the party to steal a particular brass box from Realmseer Eskil Ryndarien. Instead of stealing from Eskil, they asked for his help in removing the phylactery.

Miscellaneous dates and times

 * The post-Divergence calendar begins with year 0 (zero), rather than starting with 1.
 * Kashaw and Vesh consummated their marriage on his fifteenth "name-day" (the same as a birthday?). Kashaw also tried to kill her at that time.
 * As ancient dragons, Thordak, Vorugal, Umbrasyl, and Raishan were all over 800 years old when they attacked Emon.
 * Thordak was not yet ancient when he attacked Ank'Harel, meaning he turned 800 between ~595 PD and ~790 PD.
 * Thordak was older than Raishan.
 * Brimscythe was between the ages of "young" and "adult", meaning he was less than 100 years old.
 * The storm giants' flying city of Tempestar was destroyed "centuries" ago, "in times long past," and thus their seat on the Council of Seven Scepters has remained empty "for generations," as of 812 PD.
