Grand Unified Timeline/The Renaissance and Industrial Revolution: Difference between revisions

* Approximate date that Meredoth is pulled from [[Mystara]] to Ravenloft. (921 AC, 635 BC)<ref>(Warning, the following is extremely nerdy.) This date assumes that Meredoth was part of the first wave of colonists sent to Norwold by King Tylion IV of Alphatia, who assumed the throne in 919 AC. Meredoth entered Ravenloft two years later, in Ravenloft year 635 BC, so that year would match Mystara year 921 AC. The Earth connection assumes 1612=738 BC, as seen below. It should be noted that any date connections dependent on Ravenloft's mists, which are known to warp time, are questionable.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: [[Ravenloft]])

* Ezio Auditore travels to Constantinople to retrieve the seals of Altaïr in order to unlock the vault of Masyaf. (''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations]]'')

* Christopher Belmont hunts Dracula again to save his son. ([[Castlevania II Belmonts Revenge]])

* Approximate date that Diane de Moriamis leaves Averoigne on Earth for Nouvelle Averoigne in Mystara (local year 1012 AC).<ref>The document "Chronomancy and the Multiverse", originally from Wizards of the Coast's Web site, says that Moriamis is from a magical Europe around the year 1600.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: [[Mystara]])

* Approximate date that the town of Odiare is pulled from Italy on Gothic Earth to Ravenloft (local year 738 BC).<ref>Based on its Renaissance tech level in-game and Mystara's connection to Earth and Ravenloft history, it's probably around 1612 (but no later than 1700). It should be noted that any date connections dependent on Ravenloft's mists, which are known to warp time, are questionable.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: [[Ravenloft]])

* Approximate date of the Faction War in Sigil. (130th year of Factol Hashkar's Reign)<ref>Assumes 1629=130th year; see ''Die Vecna Die!'' events in 1629.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: [[Planescape]])

* Approximate date that Azalin Rex returns and reclaims most of Darkon. (local year 755 BC) <ref>Assumes 1629=755 BC; see ''Die Vecna Die!'' events in 1629.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: [[Ravenloft]])

* Approximate date that the demigod Vecna becomes a full god, escapes [[Ravenloft]], visits [[Planescape|Sigil]], and returns to [[Greyhawk|Oerth]].<ref>Specifically, he lures Iuz the Evil from Oerth into Ravenloft and absorbs Iuz's power to ascend to greater godhood; uses his new power to force Ravenloft into sending him to Sigil; sets up shop and starts disrupting the multiverse by his presence; and is expelled by adventurers armed with his old body parts. Vecna falls back to Oerth, loses Iuz's essence, and is reduced to a lesser god.</ref> (591 CY, 755 BC, 130th year of Factol Hashkar's Reign)<ref>''Living Greyhawk Gazetteer'' pegs this as 591 CY; the third edition ''Ravenloft Campaign Setting'' pegs this as 755 BC; and the events in Sigil take place shortly after the ''Faction War'' adventure, set in the 130th year. The link to 1629 C.E. is via the 1612 events with Odiare (738 BC). Note this causes some hiccups with other transfers between D&D settings and Ravenloft, but those connected dates rely solely on Ravenloft's mists, which are notorious for warping time.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: ''Die Vecna Die!'')

* Approximate date that a mysterious patron<ref>Azalin Rex</ref> sends the noted scholar "S" to explore the domains of Ravenloft. (local year 756 BC) <ref>Assumes 1629=755 BC; see ''Die Vecna Die!'' events in 1629.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: [[Ravenloft]])

* Prophecied Time of Unparalleled Darkness in Ravenloft. (local year 775 BC)<ref>Assumes 1629=755 BC; see ''Die Vecna Die!'' events in 1629.</ref> ([[Dungeons and Dragons]]: [[Ravenloft]])

* [[The Three Musketeers (novel)|The Three Musketeers]] conspire to depose Louis XIV and replace him with his twin brother Philippe. (''[[The Man in the Iron Mask]]'')

* Simon Belmont takes up the whip to destroy Dracula. (''[[Castlevania 1986]]'')

* Ichabod Crane, a New York police constable, arrives at the small town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of murders. Performed by the Headless Horseman. (''[[Sleepy Hollow]]'')
