Timeline

This timeline is a general timeline of Human History on Arkhai dating from the dawn of writing to the modern day. There are several eras on this timeline which serve to divide it, although there are two primary eras, at least on the Arasi calendar. These are the "Before Arrival" (BA) and "Post-Arrival" (PA) eras, which, while not being used globally, are serve as the calendar which this timeline uses.
