A Timeline of Notable Events in the Cuendillar World

There have been three calendar systems since the Breaking of the World:

The Toman Calendar was used from a period after the Breaking until after the Trolloc Wars. It dated years AB (After Breaking). Year 0 AB is equivalent to year -2443 NE. (Approximately 3540 years ago.)
The Gazaran Calendar was used from after the Trolloc Wars until after the War of the Hundred Years, and dated years FY (Free Year). Year 0 FY is equivalent to year -433 NE. (Approximately 1430 years ago.)
The Farede Calendar is the system currently in use. Year 1 NE (New Era) began after the end of the War of the Hundred Years, in 1135 FY. Type '+date' to see the current year. See 'theme calendar' for a list of the months.

A New Era date is given for all events in the timeline.
Events marked c. are approximated, but should be no more than 50 years off.
Events marked * are unique to Cuendillar and didn't occur in the books.

Heavier than normal rains plague the borderlands during the spring season, causing flooding along the blight border during the spring thaw. Refugees travel to Chachin, Shol Arbela, and Tar Valon. The flooding moves to Tar Valon, causing a several village to evacuate their homes and take refuge within Tar Valon. The High Ambassador sends a rescue team into the village of Lorndale, the villagers being too stubborn to leave their homes in this crisis.

All river trade is cut off, keeping the Mayeners, Sea Folk, and other water based trade away from Tar Valon and the northern nations.
* 998 NE
In the early months of 998, the War of Succession in Murandy comes to an end. Lord Larson Anderlo of House Bergois is crowned King of Murandy.

Illian goes to war with the Savior, gaining aid from Altara. The Savior cuts off trade along the Erinin river. Various notables and non-notables in Altara start to go noticably missing.

Even the vegetation stops advancing, where it was fervently growing before. Aes Sedai have been sent to the borders to study this phenomenon. Queen Elisia of Andor gives birth to a child - a young girl named Aeline - causing some unrest among the nobility; particularly those hoping an heir would not be born. The daughter of King Ryndale of House Kaloni of Tarabon is seen leaving the home of her husband, son of Queen Kylean of House Jenmosen of Arad Doman.

Rumors suggest that after his victory, the Savior has sent forces to Cairhien. A naval force is sent to Altara attacking its water borders. Those men who managed to land in Ebou Dar found themselves dealing with many traps and machinations created to fight back. The battle between the two waring forces ended in victory for Altara. The year long quiet of the Blight ends as Shadowspawn raid the Plain of the Lances, burning and razing everything in sight. New growth of those oddly dangerous plants have also been spotted following along the area cleared away by those shadowspawn. Adri Gaidin is elected igh Ambassador of Tar Valon. Shallenne Tyrell Mahanon and Meeko Unega are elected as Ambassadors of Tar Valon.
* 996 NE
In an unprecedented move, Tear and Illian combine their remaining forces together, to strike at the Savior's men. In turn, it seems the Savior gained support of other varying people's. Rumors suggest the Savior has an Aes Sedai advisor aiding and guiding him, though the Tower greatly denies any such support, giving it's aid with the Tarien and Illianer alliances. In Andor, Queen Elisia, High Seat of House Murellan, marries Lord Vince Brighton, formerly High Seat of House Linmar. Lord Vince swears a blood oath to protect her as the First Prince of the Sword, chosen by the brotherless Queen. The Blight goes unusually quiet. Those along the borderlands take the time to gear up for any possible invasion.
* 995 NE
A few months into 995, Accepted Jaice mysteriously disappears from the Tower after channeling into an unknown ter'angreal that apparently functioned as a kind of gateway. It pulled her to Cairhien, where a similar-but-broken ter'angreal was found. Together with Maeve, a former Accepted, they managed to produce a working copy of the ter'angreal, rediscovering a lost Talent. The war between Tear and Illian continues. Small groups of bandits pillage and plunder the spoils of the war, taking advantage of the smaller villages without protection.
