Reference: hexarchate/heptarchate timeline

[yhlee]

Since this campaign involves time-traveling, I thought some of you might enjoy having a basic timeline for reference--among other things, those of you with h*archate OCs can decide which time period you're from. (You don't have to decide this straight off; you can leave it open/undetermined.)

Feel free to add important dates for your own characters in comments if you like, and I can update this to include them.

Edited to add: I do have some additional dates (like major book characters' birthdates and so on) that I omitted in the interests of abbreviating this thing. If you have questions about specific things that are not on here, I'm happy to answer--just leave a comment.

NOTE: italicized events/etc. are probably not canon (e.g. player characters or AU events).

Shess set out from their planet, Ylani, in 1036, and probably ended up in a more relevant/recruitable time and/or place due to encountering a rift while trying to avoid Vidona. (The Vidona were not intentionally looking for Shess, but they thought it best to avoid any possibility of attracting attention.)

[The exact details and whether this is on-planet or not have been left open for and depend on exactly how recruitment is supposed to have gone?]
