Post-Cataclysm

Pre-DOD3

Year Event Details
856 The Cataclysm happens.[1.1][2][2.1]

A huge city appears overnight on the Iberian Peninsula.[1.1][2.1]

Looting and other crimes by refugees and rioters skyrocket.[1.1]

Sightings of strange creatures are reported. There is an increase in incidents of people being attacked.[1.1]

857 A certain trading company is established.[2.2]
858 The Byzantine Empire falls.[1.1][note 8] Oral tradition says that swarms of huge dragons flew in and reduced the empire's capital to ashes overnight.[1.1]
862 The monarchies of the West, Middle and East Frankish Kingdoms fall one after another.[1.1] Riots begin spreading to other countries after Louis II of Middle Francia is murdered by a mob.[1.1][note 9]
865 The concept of Midgard begins to form.[1.1]

Rumours of the Cathedral City begin to spread.[1.1]

After the Cataclysm, and following the collapse of several nations, the European region becomes known as Midgard.[1.1]

People begin calling the city that appeared after the Cataclysm the "Cathedral City." Some settle in, and a local government is established.[1.1]

867 The Pythagorean Institute is established.[1.1] Nobles and intellectuals who fled to the Cathedral City from their former kingdoms found the Pythagorean Institute, a research institute dedicated to the study of disasters, calamities and the rising occurence of abnormalities across the world.[1.1]

Refugees from the world over begin mass migrating to the Cathedral City in search of salvation.[1.1]

868 The Chaldean Gate is built.[1.1]

The Ten Nights of Tragedy occur.[1.1]

The Cathedral City is unable to accept any more refugees due to a severe food shortage. In order to restrict the influx of refugees, the Chaldean Gate is built over the course of three nights. A battle ensues between the refugees and the City Self-Defense Forces, which lasts for a further seven nights. (Ten Nights of Tragedy)[1.1]
869 One after another, people arise from the general populace who can perform "miracles", such as superhuman destruction and the ability to detect water underground.[1.1]
870 The Pythagorean Institute confirms the existence of "magic."[1.1]
872 People who perform "miracles" establish a strict order and social hierarchy in the Cathedral City.[1.1]
875 The Pythagorean Institute create a system for the registration and authorisation of people who perform miracles. The Pythagorean Institute thus begins to dictate social status.[1.1]

Miracle Performers, or simply Performers, bring order and social hierarchy to the Cathedral City.[1.1]

878 The Chaldean Gate opens.[1.1] The Chaldean Gate is opened for the first time in ten years, and the city expands. A Performers' district is established, and the religions of the past begin to transform. Belief in the "Performers and Miracles of the Pythagorean Institute", or simply the "Church", begins to spread.[1.1]
882 The Council of Chaldea takes place.[1.1] The first council between the Catholic Church, who held power even before the Cataclysm, and the Pythagorean Institute, is held. Together they establish a new organisation known as the Church in order to bring peace to the chaotic world. The Pythagorean Institute becomes a secret organisation under the direct command of the Church, and its name eventually disappears from the historical record.[1.1]

The Church makes the registration system of Performers (now known as Wizards) a lot more strict in order to discourage them from rebelling. At the same time, research into "sealing magic," which controls magical power, is actively conducted.[1.1]

885 A Magic Surge Accident happens.[1.2] Due to a wizard's out of control magic, a third of the city vanishes. The Church announces that this was suppressed only due to their research into sealing magic. (In truth, a sealing magic experiment failed, resulting in the wizard's body enlarging until he was only a giant foot. The foot proceeded to trample the city's slums, killing 2000 people in a single night. The official announcement by the Church is as above.)[1.2]
888 The Fourth Cathedral City Expansion Plan is underway.[1.2] Progress is made on expanding the city.[1.2]

The Church aims to further expand its territory, advocating for "eternal peace in Midgard through prayer and magic."[1.2]

890 The Church Survey Brigade is established.[1.2] The Church Survey Brigade is established in order to recruit volunteers who will help the Church take control of the surrounding self-governing territories.[1.2]
892 The Church Survey Brigade, armed with large-scale magical weapons approved by their attending wizards, goes on to conquer each self-governing territory around the Cathedral City. They begin to function as the Church's armed forces.[1.2]
895 The power of the Church continues to expand to more territories.[1.2]
904 The Church takes control of the entire Iberian Peninsula.[1.2] It becomes common practice for members of the Church Survey Brigade to stay in conquered areas after a successful expedition. They establish self-governing regions and become known as landed lords.[1.2]
907 The Tang dynasty in East Asia falls.[1.2][note 10]
910 Magic Academies are created.[1.2] The Church actively pursues magical research. To facilitate this, Magic Academies are set up in various places.[1.2]
912 Another Magic Surge Accident happens.[1.2] Another Magic Surge Accident occurred during the construction of a Magic Academy. However, the damage was contained using sealing magic and only resulted in the death of two people: the wizard whose magic caused the surge and the wizard who cast the sealing spell.[1.2]
930 Magic Academies unravel the fundamentals of magic. From then on, magic begins to spread among the populace, and becomes a commonly used technology.[1.2]
938 In order to further expand and stabilise its power, the Church begins to form mutually beneficial relationships with landed lords by means of profit sharing.[1.2]
951 Bribing powerful people within the Church becomes common practice for the landed lords. It is also common for the them to fight amongst themselves. The lands the lords govern become known as the "Land of Mountains" and the "Land of Forests."[1.2]
~954 Gray, lord of the Land of Mountains, is born around this time.[3][3.1][note 11]
960 The Song dynasty is founded in East Asia.[1.2][note 10]

Issues within the Church begin to surface.[1.2]

For the first time, the Director of a Magic Academy is chosen from among the landed lords. This reveals the corruption within the upper echelons of the Church, as the Director in question is not familiar with magic at all. Wizards of the Magic Academies grow restless.[1.2]
971 The White Revolt takes place.[1.2] Some young wizards become fiercely opposed to the continued election of landed lords as Directors of the Magic Academies. They surround the Central Magic Academy in the Cathedral City and demand that the current Directors resign, but they are suppressed overnight. (White Revolt)[1.2]
~980 Rose, who will go on to become a singularity known as Zero, is born around this time.[4][4.1][note 11]
985 Famine breaks out.[1.2] A large-scale famine breaks out. The food supply chain from the countryside into the city was severely disrupted for several years. As a result, it became commonplace for the local government and the upper echelons of the Church to trade money, weapons, women, and children to the landed lords in exchange for food.[1.2]
986 The Blue Order is formed.[1.2] The poor, who are dissatisfied due to the food shortages, and the wizards, dissatisfied with the corruption within the Magic Academies, form an underground revolutionary group known as the "Blue Order."[1.2]
990 Shahor, son of Gray and lord of the Land of Forests, is born around this time.[3.1][note 11] The Blue Order begins to gain traction. Many young wizards and landed lords who are dissatisfied with the Church support their cause. The Cathedral City's weaknesses are exposed; specifically their lack of military equipment and human resources due to years of food shortages and bribery.[1.2]
991 The Blue Revolt takes place.[1.2]

The Cathedral City announces and begins working on a large-scale renovation of the city's waterways.[1.2]

A massive revolt by the Blue Order breaks out in the Cathedral City (Blue Revolt). They occupy the Central Magic Academy with the aim of abolishing the power of the landed lords within the institution, and creating free and independent Magic Academies. However, the Blue Order is destroyed overnight by a large-scale sealing magic attack seen across the city. Eighty percent of the citizens living within two of the city's wards are used as catalysts for the sealing magic and die as a result. Meanwhile, the survivors go insane. Work begins to bury them alive.[1.2]
993 Following the Blue Revolt, the number of wizard applicants approved by the Magic Academies decreases sharply. The local government and Church become more and more dependent on the military might of the landed lords. Independent magical research and original magical research funded by the landed lords becomes widespread. This leaves the Magic Academy and the Church in an uncertain position.[1.2]
994 Finally, not a single Magic Academy Director across all the Magic Academies is a lord. Although the Magic Academies found their independence, they also lost all support from landed lords, leading to their somewhat ironic decline.[1.2]

Independent magical research is ongoing. It is uncovering all the secret arts that were forbidden by the Magic Academies, and the balance of magical power in Europe grows unstable.[1.2]

995 The Cathedral City becomes a ghost town.[1.2][2.1] An accident of unprecedented magnitude occurs at the Central Magic Academy in the Cathedral City. The specifics of the accident, which allegedly involved a chanting error during the casting witch's use of a secret art, are unknown. The dust from the resultant explosion was later described as a giant flower blotting out the night sky. The impact of the accident that engulfed the city was severe, with people vanishing from the city overnight, rendering it a ghost town. However, there was no major impact on the buildings and the like.[1.2]

The eleventh Goddess of the Seal is chosen.[1.3]

Research on the Niflheim gate is finished. It is discovered that the person responsible for opening the gate was the Goddess of the Seal, Baal. The priests use her lifeforce and magical power as a goddess as a catalyst for the sealing of the gate to Niflheim. They also succeed in having her bear the burden of the entire ritual, which would usually require the lives and pain of a thousand people. And so the goddess Baal dies, but the circumstances of her death are not made public.[1.3]

Notes

  1. In our world, Christian scholars generally place Jesus' birth between 6 to 4 BC.
  2. In our world, Christian scholars generally believe Jesus' crucifixion happened in either the year 30 or 33.
  3. This date seems to come from Bede the Venerable's Ecclesiastical History of the English People.
  4. In our world, Muhammad only began to preach publicly some three years later after his first revelation, circa 613. Further, the first caliphate (イスラム帝国, lit. "Islamic Empire"), the Rashidun Caliphate, was only established after Muhammad's death in 632.
  5. The Chronology in Drag-On Dragoon World Inside says the Catholic Church (ローマ教会, lit. "Roman Church") banned religious icons. However, in our world, the veneration of religious icons was actually banned by Byzantine emperor Leo III the Isaurian.
  6. In our world, Pope Gregory II summoned a synod in 727 (four years earlier) to condemn iconoclasm.
  7. This likely refers to the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate after the Umayyad Caliphate was overthrown by the Abbasid Revolution in the year 750. The Umayyad prince Abd al-Rahman I fled west and established the independent Emirate of Córdoba in southern Iberia in 756.
  8. In our world, the Byzantine Empire collapsed with the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
  9. In our world, Louis II was not murdered, and died in the year 875 instead.
  10. 10.0 10.1 Despite taking place post-Cataclysm, this is the same as in our world. It seems East Asia was largely unaffected by the Cataclysm, or at least to a lesser extent than Europe.
  11. 11.0 11.1 11.2 11.3 This person's year of birth is inferred from information about their age. Therefore, it should be understood as an approximation.
  12. Cent, Octa, Decadus, and Dito are created in Chapter 12 of Dragon-On Dragoon Utahime Five. This is also affirmed in Drag-On Dragoon 3 Story Side. It is unknown what disciple (or disciples) Zero created before her sisters were born. It is possible that this is simply an error in Yoko Taro's chronology document.
  13. 13.0 13.1 13.2 13.3 13.4 13.5 No dates are given in Drag-On Dragoon 3 Story Side. Placements of events from Story Side in this timeline should therefore be seen as approximations only. However, all other branches begin on March 4, 1000 and end on April 22, 1000, so it is safe to assume the Story Side branch does as well.
  14. 14.0 14.1 14.2 14.3 This event concerns versions of Hina and Yuzuki that come from a reality where the 6/12 incident did not occur.
