Editing Continuity/Timeline of Ispar

{{RightToC}}

The timeline of Ispar has changed greatly over the course of the game. In this article, we will attempt to construct the timeline of Ispar as it existed at various points in the game's history. We will also examine how the Roulean Calendar system from Ispar relates to the Portal Year Calendar on Dereth.

== Asheron's Call ==
This is the period of time from beta leading up to Dark Majesty. The most notable sources of information from this time are [[Zogblaster Archive/Heritage Groups|Zogblaster Archive: Heritage Groups]] (from Turbine's Beta website), [[The Reign of Alfrega]], [[The Silifi of the Crimson Stars]], and [[Stormwaltz Quotes/On Aluvian Rulers|Stormwaltz Quotes: On Aluvian Rulers]]. Although this quote from Stormwaltz was first posted in March 2002, after the release of Dark Majesty, he states that he wrote the timeline of Aluvian rulers during Beta while writing the Reign of Alfrega.
<br /><br />
Based on Stormwaltz' quote on Aluvian rulers, and the Aluvian heritage introduction from Turbine's beta website, we can determine that 10 PY and 1321 RC occur at the same time. With that in mind, we can construct the following timeline:

King Cedraic reigns in Aluvia during this time. Cedraic opens trade with nations across the sea, including Gharu'n and Sho. Some Aluvians believe it is only a matter of time before Aluvia and Viamont are at war again.<ref name=ZogblasterAluvianIntro />

The Sho still enjoy the stability brought by the Kou Dynasty. Meanwhile, trade has begun in earnest with the Gharu’ndim and the Milantos, the two nearest kingdoms, and the Sho are growing increasingly aware of the vast lands beyond their borders.<ref name=ZogblasterShoIntro />
<br /><br />
The Malika Qadira bint Balj reigns in Gharu'n. There is always the threat of war, from both Viamont and Milantos, but the desert kingdom is once again a place where the sharpness of a man's mind is far more valuable than that of his sword.<ref name=ZogblasterGharundimIntro />

== AC:DM ==
With the release of [[Dark Majesty|Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty]], players were given the [[AC:DM CD Lore]]. Among these files was the [[AC:DM CD Lore/Ages of the Empyrean|Ages of the Empyrean]], which outlined the history of Auberean. It also contains a few valuable pieces of information regarding the Roulean Calendar:

{|class="wikitable"

| '''Event'''
|-
| ''-15 PY*
| 1261 RC
| Humans arrive on Dereth.<ref name=AgesEmp>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM CD Lore/Ages of the Empyrean|Ages of the Empyrean]]</ref>
|-
| 0 PY

|-
| 12 PY
| 1284 RC
| Marae Lassel opens.<ref name=AgesEmp />
|-
|colspan=4| <small>*Stated in numerous other sources.</small>
|}


We start running into issues here:
<br /><br />
First, our theory about the timeline's present day being 1321 RC being 10 PY is invalidated - that date has yet to occur according to this new timeline. At the very least, this pushes back the time-frame for Cedraic III's reign, and the other "present day" rulers.
<br /><br />
Second, we have inconsistencies in the amount of time that is passing on each calendar. Between the first two events, humans arriving and humans defeating the Olthoi Queen, 15 years pass on each calendar. However, between the second and third events, 12 years pass on the Portal Year calendar, but only 8 years pass on the Roulean calendar.
<br /><br />
Our options are:
# Ispar years and Auberean years are at a 1:1 ratio, and the last date is incorrect - it should be 1288 RC when Marae Lassel opens.
# Ispar years and Auberean years are at a 2:3 ratio, and the first date is incorrect - it should 1266 RC when humans first arrive on Dereth.
<br />
With only these three dates to work from, we can't really draw any conclusions. The easiest assumption is that the writers created a 1:1 ratio for Ispar:Auberean years, because it would be very easy to convert dates. With that in mind, we can create a new timeline. Dates that have been changed have been highlighted.

== The History of Auberean ==
In early 2003, Turbine released another timeline called [[The History of Auberean]]. We are presented new information:

{|class="wikitable"

|width=90| '''Roulean Year'''
| '''Event'''
|-

|-
| -15 PY ||  || The portals created by the Sundering begin to appear on Ispar in the Aluvian lands, and the first humans begin to arrive on Dereth.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5 />
|-
|}

A quick look at this information reveals the following:
* the dates created by Stormwaltz in the beta regarding Aluvian history have been retconned. Aluvia was no longer invaded in 804 RC, it was invaded in 704 RC, for example.
* Some events have had their dates solidified. Rather than having a rough estimate of some hundreds of years ago, we have exact dates for the founding of Jojiism and when Emperor Kou unites Sho.
* We have a concrete date for the founding of Gharu'n, rather than an extremely rough estimate based on the renaming of Al-Ghul and the events of To Be A Shadow.
<br />
By examining these dates, another thing is immediately clear: Ispar years to Auberean years are '''not''' at a 1:1 ratio, they are at a 2:3 ratio. For every year that passes on Ispar, one and a half years pass on Auberean, and for every year that passes on Auberean, two-thirds of a year passes on Ispar.
<br /><br />
For more information on this topic, see [[Continuity/Roulean Calendar and Portal Years|Roulean Calendar and Portal Years]]. Based on our conclusions from that article, the formulas for converting between PY and RC are:
:RC = (2/3) * PY + 1284
:PY = (3/2) * RC - 1926
<br />
With all that in mind, we once again have to reconstruct the timeline:

Lord Marden announces that he will hold a tournament in honor of the fall of Lizistan. He invites knights from all the duchies of Viamont.
<br /><br />
The Duke Bellenesse orders his knights to decline the invitation. Carlo di Cenza, squire of Sir Bellas, notices that the Duke has been acting strangely for several months now. The Duke has been rejecting being treated like a noble, and has distanced himself from the rest of Viamontian nobility. Carlo suspects the Old Roulean texts that have been in the Duke's fortress for the past few years.
<br /><br />
In secret, Eleonora, Sir Bellas, and Carlo attend the tourney.<ref name=TheTournament2/>
<br /><br />
Eleonora, disguised under her armor, enters the tournament. Eleonora wins the tourney, defeating the final opponent and nephew of King Varicci, Count Corcima. As has been tradition for five years now (since the tournament where Darren was killed), the victor has one final duel with one of the princes of Viamont, which they always lose. Eleonora duels prince Renlen and kills him.
<br /><br />
Eleonora, Sir Bellas, and Carlo escape the area and begin to head back to the duchy of Bellenesse. At this point, Carlo recounts the events in his journal. He is sure these actions will lead to civil war.<ref name=TheTournament3>02/2005 Pre-[[Throne of Destiny]] - [[The Tournament Part III]]</ref>

The royal guard track the assassin to a village in the Aluvian territories held by Viamont. The captain of the guard believes the assassin escaped through one of the mysterious portals.
