Timeline

This is a timeline of the Magic: The Gathering 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.

Dating systems

Cridhe

In Cridhe the years are given in relation to the Parting. The only other known date is that of the Mending of the Clan Tree, in 520.

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.. A Dominarian year is 420 days long and divided into twelve 35-day months

Most pre-revisioned dates were 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 established by New Sumifans in Almaaz. Its Common Era (CE) starts around 3035 AR. (Date of 3000 BCE (Before Common Era) corresponds to times of Brothers, soon after Almaaz joined to Mishra's forces).

Note that this timeline is not completely accurate, and some events have an estimate date: for example, in Apocalypse (happening in A.R. 4205) Yawgmoth says the Battle of Megheddon Defile was 9000 years ago. Such large dates would obviously be estimates, and for the sake of simplicity, those 9000 years has been rounded to 5000 years before the Brothers' War. 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. Ravnican years are close to Earth years in length and have only ten months. In more recent times, we've learned Teysa Karlov's age during Family Values is 112, which gives us an approximation of the current date on Ravnica.

Timeline

Ancient history

• The Equilorians begin their search for enlightenment.

The Time of Dragons

−20,000

• Nicol Bolas is born.
• 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. Along with their children, the Lesser Elders, they became the sires of all the True Dragons. Those who lost the war were beaten to the ground, stripped of their title, never to fly again. These maimed dragons became the ancestors of the other draconic races (Viashino, Wurms and Drakes).

−15,000

• Nicol Bolas battles a demonic leviathan in the first recorded planeswalker duel to take place on Dominaria. The fight reduced Madara to a third of its former size and created the first rift on the world. What remained of the leviathan came to be known as the Talon Gates after Nicol Bolas devoured its remains.

• 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.

−???

-???

• A powerful, unnamed planeswalker violently tears the plane of Alara into five separate shards, each containing only three colors of mana. The inhabitants of the planes later grow accustomed to this change and soon knowledge of the plane's historical unification fades into myth.

-15,000

• 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.

-10,500

• The last dragon egg on Ravnica hatches.

-5,500

• The Guildpact is created on the plane of Ravnica after a long war led by the opposing Cisarzim and Razia. Ravnican guilds divide duties across nine guilds for the betterment of the plane as a whole. Ravnica begins its long evolution into a predominantly urban plane.

2 years before the Thran-Phyrexian War

• 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.

He leaves Zendikar for Ravnica to petition the help of an organization of planeswalkers.(Presumably, the Infinite Consortium).
• Bolas finishes his efforts to restore Tezzeret's mind and body on the plane of Jund, giving him the task to find the secret of Etherium from Crucius the Mad. Ultimately successful, Bolas then sends Tezzeret to Mirrodin, having become aware of the Phyrexian taint spreading on that plane.

• Sorin Markov arrives on Tarkir and releases Ugin from the hedron cocoon. Sorin tells Ugin about the release of the Eldrazi, and Ugin dismisses him and demands that he seek out Nahiri.
• Sarkhan Vol returns to the present; Tarkir's clans are ruled by dragonlords. He seeks out Ugin and explains his own role in the release of the Eldrazi, and in saving Ugin's life. He leaves Ugin and meets with Narset, a planeswalker he had met in an alternate timeline.
• These events happened in an alternate timeline Tarkir:
  • Sorin Markov arrives on Tarkir and seeks out Ugin. He discovers that Ugin is long dead, and despairs of saving the multiverse from the Eldrazi.
  • Sarkhan Vol, drawn by a voice in his mind, planeswalks to Tarkir and seeks Ugin. He is joined by Narset, who is merely a monk in this timeline. When they arrive at Ugin's tomb, Zurgo Helmsmasher attacks them and kills Narset. Sarkhan enters a time portal and arrives in Tarkir's past, around the year 3327, where he alters the plane's timeline by saving Ugin's life after a duel with Nicol Bolas. The resulting temporal anomaly forcibly returns him to a modified present-day Tarkir.
• The events of the Kaladesh set occur

Notes on the timeline

Since some parts of the timeline are open to interpretation this section was created to show which of them 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.

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. For this timeline, the Thran-Phyrexian War has been estimated to happen 5000 before the Brothers' War. Consequently, all the events narrated in the books are here reported following the same description provided in "The Thran", and under the summary indication of happening around -5000 A.R.. 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 6,000 years ago. Since Yawgmoth was there, his statements have been taken over those of Tsabo.)

Arabian Nights

The dates of the events of Arabian Nights comic and life of Taysir are roughly estimated, based on The Story of the Battlemage Ravidel, which places birth of Taysir soon after the end of the Brothers' War. Refraction of Rabiah happened still in his infancy. He left the plane as an adult, about three decades later (although it's only an impression of his age derived from the art in the comic). Some sources place Antiquities War comic after Arabian Nights, but one of them also reminds that in fact, the Antiquities War comic is a narrative made by Taysir after he was trapped in the Shard and researched the mysteries of this ancient conflict.

Homelands events

The placing of Homelands is a bit of a puzzler. 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 600 years, far longer than the 330 years in the WotC timeline. Placing 3800 as the 'Present Day' of the Homelands timlein is the only interpretation of the official timeline that works with what we know of The Kami War. Because this event has to happen at least 1,000 years before 4306 AR (according to Bolas in Future Sight), the only reasonable assumption is that the ‘current’ date for the Homelands timeline is 3800, not 4196.

Kamigawa dates

In Time Spiral, Nicol Bolas states: "The schism became a source of misery before Karona’s War by a millennium or more. When poor, mad little Ravi rang her terrible bell and the Garden ceased to exist, the echoes of that destructive chime reached far and wide, all the way to the Talon Gates and the rift they attend. The tolling of Ravi’s chime opened the rift wider and deeper, extending it all the way across the cosmos to another realm." This line establishes The Apocalypse Chime has happening AT LEAST a millennia before the Karona’s War (3306 AR). It also had to happen after Ravi rung the Apocalypse Chime, placing it where it ended up.

The Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad

Many prerevisionist events have been given in this reckoning, but they are often just plain wrong in 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 Planeswalker 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). The Shadow Mage, Wayfarer and the Planeswalker 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 Shadow Mage 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 were 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. However it was stated that the rifts allowed Memnarch's delusions to become quasi-real. So one can deduce that thousands of years played out in the golem's mind, while on the outside only a few hundred years have passed.

Ravnica

In the story Family Values, Teysa Karlov states "I am one hundred and twelve years old,", and in the novel Guildpact, Uncle Karlov states "I purchased it many years ago, not long before you were born.", with “It” referencing Uncle Karlov’s purchase of Utvara in 9965 Z.C. If Teysa is 112 in 4566 AR, that means she was born in the equivalent of 4454 AR. This establishes that Ravnican years pass at approximately the same rate as Dominarian years, as this still allows the events of the original Ravnica Cycle to occur before the Mending.

Lorwyn

In Homesick, Nissa states "But her friend—her best friend, her constant companion for two score years—couldn't answer." Nissa's Origin: Home is when she first awakens her animist powers, which would be two score (or 40 years) previous to Homesick. The Great Aurora occurs during Nissa's Origin, placing Lorwyn as occuring 40 years before Kaladesh.

Zendikar

The events of the Zendikar storyline can only vaguely be established thanks to Chandra's theft of the scroll in The Purifying Fire and Jace's experiences working as an agent of the Consortium to retrieve the scroll that Chandra stole. Roughly 3 years passed since Chandra acquired the scroll the first time, and Sarkhan Vol's presence tracking Chandra (apparently there for less than a year) indicates that the Zendikar story takes place after Alara as well.

Tarkir

The timeline of Tarkir was altered when Sarkhan Vol travelled back in time and saved Ugin from Bolas.
