Lorwyn

This is a timeline of the Magic Storyline. It is an unofficial document, but all information on it is taken from official canon sources (see List of Storyline Sources). All stories that could be dated, or could not be dated but could be placed at some point in the timeline because of their connection to other stories, have been incorporated. This means that the Ravnica, City of Guilds and Lorwyn books, most pre-revisionist books, and most anthology stories can’t be placed (yet).

Dating Systems

Dominaria

The dates on this timeline are in A.R.: Argivian Reckoning, with year 1 starting with the birth of Urza. Other known reckonings are Penregon Founded, beginning with the founding of the city Penregon in -912 A.R., and the Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad, starting with the gathering of said sages in 3000 A.R..

Most pre-revisioned dates where given in the Minorad reckoning, but most of them can’t possibly be true in post-revisionist continuity. Minorad reckoning is only incorporated in the timeline and translated to A.R. if it can still be true in current continuity.

Another dating system was estabilished by New Sumifans in Almaaz. Its Common Era (CE) starts around 3035 AR. (Date of 3000 BCE (Before Common Era) correspodns to times of Brothers, soon after Almaaz joined to Mishra's forces).

Note that this timeline is not completely accurate, and sometimes has taken estimate dates as true: for example, in Apocalypse Yawgmoth says the Battle of Megheddon Defile was 9000 years ago. Such large dates would obviously be estimates, and the battle could just as well have been 9001 or 8900 years ago. For the sake of simplicity 9000 years has been taken as a fact. Such interpretations are described in the notes below the timeline.

Ravnica

Ravnica works with Z.C. and A.C., which stand for "Zal Concordat" and "Al Concordat", meaning "After the Agreement" and "Before the Agreement" in Old Ravi respectively. The agreement in this case is the signing of the Guildpact. We don’t know how the dates compare to A.R. dates yet. Also, a Dominarian year is 420 days long and dividen into twelve 35-day months, while Ravnican years are closer to Earth years in length.

The Timeline

Ancient History

The Time of Dragons

-25,000

Around this time the Elder Dragons, who had ruled Dominaria for ages, were engaged in the Dragon War. The victors of that war were Nicol Bolas (who ascended), his siblings Arcades Sabboth, Palladia-Mors and Chromium, and his cousin Vaevictis Asmadi (it is unclear if the others ascended as well). Along with their children, the Lesser Elders, they became the sires of all the True Dragons. Those who lost the war were killed or stripped of their powers. These maimed dragons became the ancestors of the other draconic races (Viashino, Wurms and Drakes).

In the aftermath of this war, Sivitri Scarzam conquered Corondor with the help of the dragons spawned by Scarzam, a Lesser Elder whose name she took.

????

The six tribes of Djinn wage war on each other on Rabiah. After they have diminished each other's forces, humans become the ruling race of Rabiah. The “1001 Nights” stories that have been made Magic canon take place.

????

Some unknown event causes the plane of Rabiah to be copied 1000 times.

????

The Sorceress Queen Nailah seduces the black copy of Taysir and tells him that he will become a planeswalker if he unites himself with the other four copies. The Black Taysir absorbs the Green Taysir with force, but feels enormous guilt over this and turns against Nailah.

The Red Taysir and the White Taysir unite out of free will and later unite with the Blue Taysir as well. Then that Taysir challenges Nailah. The white-blue-red Taysir finally unites with the green-black one to create a single Taysir. The ascended Taysir leaves Rabiah. Nailah locks him out of the 1001 worlds.

-20,000

Dominaria has by now been conquered by the Primeval Dragons. They are defeated by the Numena, who take their powers. Kuberr, Llowalyn and Averru kill the other two Numena. Then Averru lures the others into war to ensure their rebirth.

????

Serra ascends after a tragedy on her own plane. She creates Serra's Realm.

The Time of the Thran

-4903

Halcyon solidifies its position as capital of the Thran Empire. A power struggle begins between the elite imperialists and republican rabble, with the artificers on the side of the elite and the eugenicists on that of the republicans.

-4803

Yawgmoth is recalled from exile by Rebbec to cure Glacian.

-4801

Gix leads the first Untouchables' uprising to take vengeance on the people who afflicted them with Phthisis. Yawgmoth discovers a serum that slows the disease down and uses it to quell the rebellion.

-4797

Gix leads the second rebellion of Untouchables as he thinks Yawgmoth isn't doing enough to help them. But by now Yawgmoth holds power over the entire defense of Halcyon and stops the rebellion once more, this time forcing Gix into his personal service.

Months later, after the city is rebuilt, the Thran Alliance sends delegates to Halcyon. Dwarves, elves, minotaurs, viashino, cat people, and barbarians reveal that their countries have all been ravaged by Yawgmoth and his eugenicist followers during their exile. The Alliance tells Halcyon to rid Yawgmoth of his privileges, or they will declare war. The council decides Yawgmoth can stay, but with 15 against 13 votes, with the two deciding votes being those of Rebbec and Yawgmoth himself. Yawgmoth overthrows the council and starts to prepare for war.

Yawgmoth is shown Phyrexia by Dyfed, who opens a portal between that plane and Dominaria.

-4795

Yawgmoth defeats the Thran Alliance, but Rebbec closes the portal from Dominaria to Phyrexia. Yawgmoth and his followers are trapped on the other side.

Notes on the Timeline

Since some parts of the timeline are open to interpretation I have created this section to show which parts of it could be different, and why the current version was chosen. This section will not include an argumentation for all dates and the placing of undated events, because dates are often just given in the books, and most undated events have to have happened between certain dated events because of the characters or nations present.

Arabian Nights

In prerevisioned continuity Taysir was the oldest planeswalker, placing the events of Arabian Nights at the very beginning of the timeline, only being preceded by the Elder Dragon Wars. However, the Legends II cycle revealed Nicol Bolas was actually a ‘walker from those wars, but doesn’t mention whether this means Arabian Nights should be placed before the Elder Dragon Wars, or if Taysir isn’t the oldest ‘walker after all. In this timeline the E.D. Wars have been placed at the very start, for they’re the traditional beginning of the Magic storyline.

The Thran

The book “The Thran” gives dates of all events in the “The Time of the Thran” part of this timeline in relation to the Thran-Phyrexian War (9 years prior, 2 years prior, etc.). The date for the war itself is given in Apocalypse, where Yawgmoth says the war ended 9000 years ago. It was taken as fact for this timeline so we could get definitive dates on the other events of the Thran. So all dates in the “The Time of the Thran” section are correct in relation to each other, but they could be some years off in relation to the other dates on the timeline. (Note that in Invasion Tsabo Tavoc said the Thran-Phyrexian War ended 6000 years ago. Since Yawgmoth was there, his statements have been taken over those of Tsabo.)

Homelands Events

The placing of Homelands is a bit of a puzzler. The site of Jeff Lee gives the date of the ringing of the Apocalypse Chime on 4000 A.R., while the WotC Timeline places it between 3800 and 4130. The Timeline in the Homelands comic gives no dates in A.R., but gives a chronology of events that takes 620 years, far longer than the 330 years in the WotC timeline.

Now we can leave the 4000 date out, for it is pre-revisioned, but the two timelines can be compatible in two ways: either 620 years on Ulgrotha are only 330 years on Dominaria, or the WotC timeline only counts some parts of the Ulgrotha timeline as the actual story. Since there are exactly 330 years between the arrival of Feroz and the collapse of Feroz’s Ban (The beginning and ending of the Homelands comic, if you ignore the prologue) I have settled for the second interpretation.

Scott McGough dates

The dates for the Kamigawa cycle, the Legend’s II cycle and the short stories of Astor and Virot Maglan have all been given by Scott McGough on various message boards. They have never been given in an official WotC publishing, but we consider them canon until an official source disproves them.

The Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad

Many prerevisioned events have been given in this reckoning, but they are often just plain wrong in post revisionist continuity. The Fallen Empires comic says it takes place over a millennium before the Ice Age, while post-rev sources put it only 280 years prior to the ice. Another big event, the Planeswalkers War on Corondor, is said to have happened more than a millennia after the gathering of the sages, but this would put it after the Phyrexian invasion, and since several planeswalker that died during the invasion are mayor players in the ‘walkers war this can be considered an obsolete date.

Most events have been given a post-rev date by WotC because they are tied to a set and thus on their official timeline (such as Fallen Empires and Homelands). Shadowmage, Wayfarer and the Planeswalkers War have not been given an official date, but because we know how much time happens between them, we can deduce their post-rev dates: the War happens 70 years after Sandruu’s banishment and Wayfarer in the same year as the war. The chapters of Shadowmage each give the age of Jared Carthalion at that time, and since his age is given as 16 in Wayfarer, the placing of those chapters can be deduced as well.

Mirrodin

The events of Mirrodin continue to be a continuity problem. The flavor text of several cards in Mirrodin mention the events of the Mirrodin Cycle taking place millennia after Karn's disappearance from the plane. However, the events of Planar Chaos make it obvious that Mirrodin took place before the Time Spiral Cycle. The common theory holds that Mirrodin's time passes much faster than time on Dominaria. This is probably the case, though no official word has yet been given.
