Timeline

This is a timeline of the MSEverse. It is a combined document, bringing together the events of many different universes to the best of our ability. Note that this timeline is not going to be exactly precise, and some events have an estimated date or a date range in which they could have occurred.

Several WotC events are also on the timeline to act as reference points. Note that due to frequent retcons, times here may not match the official given dates for things: Our dates should still be left alone so the reference points remain consistent for everyone.

AR - Argivian Reckoning
The generally accepted baseline year system, with the birth of Urza occurring in 1 AR and the Mending occurring in 4500 AR. For adding to this article, use this timescale as the primary placement. Additional timeline notes may be put in parenthesis beside it, for example,

PM - Post-Mending
An alternate canon time system, measuring year since the Mending, starting at 0 PM = 4500 AR

NKY - New Khalizor Year
A time system for Khaliz-Dorahn and the Korakhosverse, starting at 0 NKY = 2933 AR = 1567 pre-Mending

VY - Volarian Year
A time system for Volaria and the Windyverse, starting at 0 VY = 4201 AR = 299 pre-Mending

DAT - Dilated Adiran Time
An unusual time system to account for the increasing passage of time on the plane of Adira exponentially until it stabilizes at around 100x normal. (time dilation factor of .0022 * {time elapsed in years outside}^2 + 1), starting at 0 DAT = 4354 AR = 146 pre-Mending
