---OC Lore - Timeline--- ----By Skelington------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To preface, this timeline is made up of only significant events from my OC world, including major conflicts, deaths, and other things. This is a simple overview into what shaped the world I created in my head, and most events will have a basic summary alongside them. Most of these events will be provided more in-depth explainations in dedicated files. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LAYOUT-------------------------------- [Name of Event] - Circa [Date of occurence] (or) [Date of Occurence] - [Date of End] (2nd version is used for lasting events, like wars) Major Figures - [1], [2], [3] Summary - [summary of events] NOTES ON CALENDER--------------------- The world I made has a completely different calender to this one, mostly because I enjoy adding details to the workings of my OC world. The calender of this world works on a lunar cycle, with each one lasting 24 days in my creation. There are 13 lunar cycles in a year, resulting in there being 312 days in a year, 53 days shorter than a non-leap year in reality. This is important to note due to how the timeline works, due to the disconnect between between our world's calender and this worlds calender. The names of months are also different, because why not. Note that the greek prefix for each number is present in each name. January -> Solain Febuary -> Duonin March -> Trisen April -> Tetrain May -> Pentanin June -> Hexalin July -> Heptalin August -> Octanin September -> Ennalin October -> Decalin November -> Hendecin December -> Dodecan 13th Month = Triskalinin TIMELINE [BEFORE THE START OF THE WORLD]---- OVERVIEW - The short (or long, depending on your perspective) time before even the creation of Endonoki, the land that came before Illumia. Not much happens, though this ends with the birth of the first land of Endonoki. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before Gaia - Circa ??? Major Figures - None, unless counting the World Tree and Lake of Dreams to be concious entities at this point in time. Summary - Before the world even existed, there were the World Tree and the Lake of Dreams, sitting in an eternal void. Some of the World Tree's roots sat at the edge of the Lake of Dreams, absorbing the water present at the lakebed. As the tree grew, the Lake of Dreams grew alongside it; it did not wish to be absorbed by the World Tree. At some point, the World Tree grew large enough to where an island formed from its roots, though at that point, there was nothing to support with it. ----- Gaia's Creation - Circa ??? Major Figures - Gaia, World Tree, Lake of Dreams Summary - At some point in the eternal cycle of growth between the World Tree and Lake of Dreams, a single flower blossomed on the highest branch of the World Tree. The blossom grew a fruit, and once it fell, Gaia emerged from the guts of the fruit, though only just a child. ----- Creation of Oreirnoki - Circa ??? Major Figures - Gaia, World Tree, Lake of Dreams, Unnamed Entity Summary - Gaia, now mostly grown, grew bored of the void. There was not much to do upon the island of roots that kept her from falling into the void except walk around and occasionally stare at her reflection in the waters of the Lake of dreams. She was startign to grow restless, wishing for something more, though she did not know what it would be. She walked up to the Lake of Dreams and asked it to fufill her wish, though she recieved no answer. Dejected, she walked away, resting against one of the more prominent roots of the Tree of Life, watching over her still reflection until something emerged from the water. Something that looked just like her emerged from her reflection. It said nothing, but they instead held their hand out. Gaia did not understand this gesture, but she took their hand and shook it. Then, the ground rumbled beneath them as the void seemed to fill with light, far brighter than the light of the leaves of the World Tree. The island ascended skyward, as actual land formed around the Lake of Dreams. The roots that had kept Gaia up for so long disappeared, as actual land formed around it. At the base of the tree, a chamber made from what seemed to be the roots of the Tree of Light, likely the ones that had just retreated from the forming land below her feet. When Gaia looked to the land below, it was a sight she could only witness in her wildest dreams--a land made so beautiful, she could not believe what she was witnessing. When she turned back to go and thank her look-a-like, it had already disappeared, only leaving a simple note. "Welcome to your dreams, Gaia."
