As such, some of the dates may be changed as more of the worldbuilding is set in stone during the game's development.

'''Estimated dates''' that either haven't been confirmed by in-game content or are set after the main timeline divergence point (the first [[Maelstrom]]) '''are marked with an asterisk (*).'''
