SPOILER The Current Timeline Of Wynncraft Lore

Wynncraft has gained various amounts of new lore throughout the years, and changes to the old established pieces of history. An official timeline of all the known historical events has been created by Grian (according to his old profile post), however, it hasn’t been revealed to the public. There have been a few fanmade timelines in the past, but all of them are now unfortunately outdated. So earlier this year, I decided to start creating a cohesive and updated timeline of the current Wynncraft lore that has clear dates of when they happened.

While there is still a lot of Wynncraft history that does not currently have any exact dates to go from and would be pretty much impossible to “calculate” their time periods, there are still nice amounts of information to create a timeline.

But first, I would like to give a mention to @jpmrocks and his timeline thread from 2017. His timeline was pretty much the only good one at the time and it helped me tremendously at creating this thread. While it is outdated like I said before, I still have to give him credit for creating it in the first place. You can check it out right here!

And as you may notice when comparing these timelines, pretty much all of the approximations haven’t been transferred into this timeline. The thing is, like jpmrocks said himself, they are “guesstimations” and should be accounted at your own risk. I really tried to search the game itself to find any actual dates for those events, but couldn’t. Some of them, such as the founding of the Caritat Mansion weren’t trustable. It could’ve easily taken place 70 or 20 years ago, depending on the last Caritat’s, Atisun’s, age which isn’t told in the game. I also couldn’t find any exact dates for the Ice Nations events and the Corkus factory creation for example, so I didn’t include them here. I kind of wanted this timeline to have the events as “trustable”, so the approximations aren’t here. Still, you can check out the old timeline of jpmrocks if you want to see them.

Also, for the newcomers to this server or people in general who don’t know:
BP = Before Portal (Before the corruption portal’s opening)
AP = After Portal (After the corruption portal’s opening)

But anyways, here it is:

Wow good job this'd take a while and I myself had to look at wynnwiki about the characters I forgot about like Mr. Dulluhan

 

It's always a joy to go trough the timeline threads and see how much the lore has evolved.

 

I have now added the currently unknown dates to the timeline that are mentioned in quests, item lores, specific locations, etc.

I would also like to mention that there is a possibility for the Olm and the ancients to be part of the same species, or at least be related to each other in some form. But it hasn't been confirmed yet.

 

Everyone always forgets there were giants :o
Good job.

Also what about the sealed letters?

 

The sealed letters being canon has seemed to be quite... unknown, so I didn't include them.

 

I'm fairly certain they are.
But as you wish.

 

Nice timeline just want to note how it took Bakal 300+ years to even amount a large attack after his first kills

 

Sealed Letters are canon. Do you have any reasoning they wouldn't be, other than the removal of Relics?

 

They are? Huh, nice. Well then, I've added the info to the timeline if it's so.

 

Feels quite traitorous of Hashr, the emperor's 26th son to do that, also what does it mean by "life between the walls"?

________________________________

I do have a theory about the rupture that the Purple and Blue meteor was the cause, it probably caused a massive earthquake upon impact from telling by its size, and two crystals broke off from the meteor and found a way into the void, one of them purple which you are sent to find in One Thousand Meters Under and stumble upon a blue one, suggesting that these crystals may be what is causing the void to spread and infect the villagers who live down below and why they need the purple crystal as a power source as they are imbued with it, but this knowledge is probably fairly known and easily guessed but it would figure out the time that the meteor crashed in.

 

Bump. Added a new color (green) and also colored the unknown dates section just in case someone questions it in the future.

 

lore is epic, I need more lore

 

So I'm 99.9% sure that it was actual cataclysm.
For many reasons.

1. Cataclysm's lore.

"Despite the existence of the Nether Portal, few believe that it is possible to open such rifts with sheer force alone. None believe that a tool with enough power to accomplish such a monumental feat could exist. And yet..."

This is its newest lore, before it read something different, something about it falling from the heavens, and having been able to cut threw rifts and worlds, similar to its current lore.

And yes, we know where it fell.

2. Where it fell.

"

• Trials Overseer: I hafta wonder now if this weren't bein' guarded for a bit of a nefarious reason. This be... Quite the weapon. It'd be deadly if this got used.
• Trials Overseer: Well, thanks to ye, us Skyraiders might have it now, but using this weapon against civilization would be beyond terrible. We might be pirates but we ain't heartless!
• Trials Overseer: I think we'll just have to keep this locked up nice n' tight once we get back. We'll be sure to tie this little cataclysm-in-a-box down much safer th'n those idiot men did. "

This means it was more then likely landed on sky islands.

I will post more later if I find it.

 

Explain the two purple and blue crystals.

 

wait what? how does mael live for 300 years? Am I missing something?

 

*handwave*

(or partially incomplete retcons)

 

but pure sucks, how would the three guys got crazy?

EDIT: just got rid of some typo

 

Bumping...

 

Actually, in "A Grave Mistake" Mael manages to have a Physical manifestation, Taking the form of the graveyard's keeper, at the end of the quest, Mael tells you that the spirits at the Mansion are restless because Mael died, also, if Bob imagined Mael, then how can we see his ghost aswell?
