Talk:Timeline

Here's a nice mod that will allow a more visual timeline --Tierrie 08:24, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Lots of information here and some of it touchy. I *think* the Chantry teaches that the First Blight happened 800 years ago, while the developers have said that it really happened 1,000+ years ago. I'm going to comb the database.

Do you think the warning at the beginning is clear enough? Maria Caliban 22:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * From David Gaider "The only thing that one can say with any certainty is that around 800 TE (by the old Imperial reckoning, about -400 Ancient by the Chantry calendar... or about 1300 years ago, if you prefer) the First Blight began and that was the first appearance of darkspawn in Thedas. Prior to that, there are no records of any such creatures having been seen. The dwarves might dispute that date, but even they agree that prior to this point the Deep Roads were clear."


 * From Mary Kirby: "The first darkspawn were mages. It's been a couple thousand years since that occurred"  Maria Caliban 23:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

River Dane/Dragon Age
In the Stolen Throne, the narative has Loghain looking out at the mountains moments before the battle of River Dane and seeing the rampaging dragon. I would assume, given the material on the DA:O site stating the high dragon was the first seen in years, that the battle of River Dane and the beginning of the Dragon Age happened at the same time.


 * We know from David Gaider that the battle of the River Dane occurred 8:99 Blessed, as the page says. This is just before the beginning of the Dragon Age. Loleil 23:29, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm curious. The codex says that each age lasts *exactly* one hundred years. This means that there must either be a "Year 0" or a "Year 100". This page talks about 1:1 Divine being the first year of the Divine Age, which would -- in keeping with the codex -- imply that the last year of the Divine Age was 1:100 Divine, as opposed to 1:99 Divine. So was there a 8:100 Blessed? I'm just wondering because I'm working out character ages based off The Calling, and being a year out would suck. 95.150.83.51 20:30, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

3:18 Towers needs a line break before it.
