TIMELINE

"We cannot rewrite the past. The ink has already dried, the pages have been turned and all of the stories told."
― Redbird of Valerie Circuit

The history of Nectar extends back over 12,000 years, according to various traditions held across the world, though the recording of history did not begin until roughly 6,500 years ago. This has left the early days of the world's existence to be told in forms such as folktales, legends and myths, which are openly questioned by the Maesters of the Great Library.

As with real-life cultures, the people who inhabit the continents of Yiyhr, Korultra and Amity do not possess objective knowledge about how their world was created. As with other medieval civilizations, the people of these lands gradually coalesced from the hunter-gatherer level. Many different cultures have their different theories as to how existence came to be, most of which are tied to the religion they practice, but they are all drastically different from one another. For example, the people of Yiyhr predominantly follow The Faith of The Seven, which roughly dates recorded history back to 6,400 years; whereas the people of Lockwood predominantly follow The Words of The Harpy, which roughly dates history back only 1,000 years, which the histories of other continuous civilizations stretch back for the sake of continuity.

A major issue with keeping a solid timeline is, as the saying goes, that history tends to be written by the victors. This means that the inhabitants of Nectar do not have an objective record of history, and it tends to be more accurate when closer to the present. This is largely because folktales and fables are becoming less included in historical lessons taught to the children of the new ages. This also means that all history books display some sense of bias from the authors themselves to some degree.

The dating system is based on The Great Culmination. Thus, all dates are "BC" for "Before Culmination" and "AC" for "After Culmination."
