__NOTOC__

== World chronology ==

The [[Chronology of Erindal]] is the master order of events used by the wiki. It begins with the [[Celestial Disarray]], [[Elaria]] and the [[Shattered One]], continues through the First Awakening and the rise of the first gods, and later enters recorded mortal history.

Events from the oldest ages do not receive invented numbered years. They are placed inside named mythic eras. Numbered BHF and AHF dates are used only when mortal records make such precision reasonable.

The main eras are:

* the Celestial Disarray;
* the Ordering and the Shattering;
* the First Awakening;
* the First Planar Intrusions;
* the Age of First Gods;
* the War of Souls and the Age of the Pact;
* the Early Mortal Ages;
* the Age of the Keepers;
* After Harmony's Fall.

== Calendar and dating ==

The [[Calendar of Erindal]] explains the Continental Reckoning. It includes the twelve months, the nine-day week and the division between BHF and AHF. The page should be used whenever a new article introduces an exact date.

The accepted present year is '''4318 AHF'''. The fall of the Keepers is treated as the epoch, but there is no formal year zero. The year 1 BHF is followed by 1 AHF.

== National and regional histories ==

National history articles explain the development of one realm instead of repeating the entire world chronology. They include foundations, changes of government, expansion, disasters, wars and the events which created the present political situation.

* [[History of Kurn Daruhm]]
* [[History of Alyren Shaeras]]
* [[History of the Krugmurd Horde]]
* [[History of the Principality of Herm Tharim]]
* [[History of the Grand Duchy of Swanvein]]
* [[History of the Forgotten Kingdom]]

Only Kurn Daruhm currently possesses a complete national history. The remaining links designate where future articles will be created.

== Wars and major conflicts ==

War articles describe the cause, campaigns, conclusion and consequences of a conflict. Battles should receive separate pages only when enough information exists to justify them.

* [[War of Souls]]
* [[War of Endless Storms]]
* [[Silver War]]
* [[Valley Revolt]]
* [[Umbral War]]
* [[Fall of the Keepers of Harmony]]

== Disasters and periods of crisis ==

This part of the archive contains events which changed several settlements or an entire nation without necessarily being wars.

* [[Ash Winter]]
* [[Fall of Gorgorath]]
* [[Abandonment of Dhemuhm]]
* [[Disappearance of Lohmarra]]

== Rulers, dynasties and institutions ==

A biography belongs under Characters or Religion and Deities, but it may also appear here when that person had a major historical role. Dynasties, councils, churches and other institutions belong in the historical archive when their development has its own article.

Examples include [[Durgadd Fireblessed]], [[Doramin]], [[Drogan Ironheart III]], the [[Council of Dwarves]], the [[Keepers of Harmony]] and the [[Conclave]].
