#da timeline

twot says that the Elves first met the Dwarves in -4600 Ancient, or 3000 FA (founding of Arlathan). Solas says in Trespasser that a war was what triggered the rise of the Evanuris, and Veilguard confirms this was the Titan War. The Veil went up sometime around -3100 Ancient according to twot, meaning the end of the Evanuris' rule.

If that's all true, then the Titan War took place around -4600 Ancient because the Elves met the Dwarves during said war. The Evanuris rose to power after this, but only ruled for a maximum of 1600 years, part of which was taken up by Solas' rebellion.

For context, Tevinter has been around for 2046 years in Veilguard, and Orlais for 1105 years.

However, my fix to this (non) issue, is that the Dwarves the Elves did meet/know of each other prior to -4600 Ancient. If we agree with Veilguard's concept art, then the Dwarves were the inspiration for the Elves,

It's just that the Dwarves they met in -4600 Ancient were a new people, fresh out of the Titan's control, and with individual minds. aka modern Dwarves.

There's records of the Elves believing that the Dwarves were soulless, and Veilguard suggests that was a misconception caused by Isatunoll, a hivemind that connected Dwarves and Titans. The Elves may have even known to some extent what Isatunoll was, as Bellara and Harding identify the word used in ancient elvhen lullabys.

Dates and important events, largely gleaned from wikis and in-game codexes and estimations

DATV spoilers towards the end

@theoriginalladya wanted to have a general timeline somewhere we could all see it haha, figured I could edit/update it as I go

Key:

CB 1-3: The Silent Grove, Those Who Speak, Until We Sleep (the Varric, Isabela & Alistair comic trilogy)

CB 4-8: Magekiller, Knight Errant, Deception, Blue Wraith, Dark Fortress (starring: a gang of new characters)

CB 9: The Missing (the Varric & Harding issue that was meant to lead up to DAD/ DATV)

TN: Tevinter Nights - stories by the table of contents (& three storylines boxed inside TN 15: The Dread Wolf Take You)

LARGE image under the cut

Restarting Dragon Age from the top.

Current run in Origins is a city elf warrior whos sword gets ahead of her mouth and her brain is usually somewhere behind it all. Planning to romance Lelianna while being besties with Zevran and Shale.

Zihnal's Merry Band of Goofballs.

Couldn't take the profile seriously. Knew she'd be too chaotic to have a serious face.

also i will deserve a damn award if I make it through origins without romancing Alistair. I have never pulled it off before. May try Zevran? Thats totally a choice?

(The goal for da2 is to MAYBE? attempt a fenris romance. Have never succeeded in that before. Will probably fall on my face and romance Merrill again. Probs gunna play a rogue.)

(The goal for inquisition is to romance someone. Im REALLY gunna try not to romance Cullen but i'll be damned if i've ever succeeded in not romancing him. Will likely do a warrior or mage.)

(Goal for veilguard: Davrin.)

Note: I began playing this game in 2012. Some of what was canon then has since been retconned. I just don’t care.

months come first, then days (month”day), x signifies unknown

each year has 360 days, each month has 30 days, each week has 7 days

seasons are as following: months 2,3 and 4 make up spring; months 5,6 and 7 make up summer; months 8,9 and 10 make up autumn; months 11,12 and 1 make up winter; based on the festivals/name of the months on the Dragon Age wiki (ex: Wintersend is at the start of month 2, and it signifies the end of winter)

* signifies birth, † signifies death

Both years and important events will be bolded
