TIMELINE
(Note: I am terrible at math and somehow screwed up adding/subtracting on the official history document; there’s a reason they refer to years by a title rather than numbers. Birthdays are also the bane of my existence. I try to fix the errors I see, but there might be one or two I never caught.)
May mention stories yet to be published. An asterisk (*) will be placed after the titles belonging to What Time Forgot and two (**) are used for significant events that are not particularly in a story or appear during Memories or other short stories (though may include the name of a short story where it happened).
