Revisions to this FAQ can only be done with my permission. This FAQ may not be used in a password-protected area, or one that requires monetary payment to access. The purpose of this FAQ is to serve as a reference file to the events of the series; in the past, players have been hampered in discussion of the game by lack of knowledge of certain events. The Timeline FAQ seeks to correct this. It has been created through several playthroughs of Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Radical Dreamers, and has been scrutinized by the Chrono Compendium for errors. 2004-01-10: Version 1 -Release 2004-01-16: Version 1.1 -Minor Edits 2004-01-30: Version 1.2 -Minor Edits 2004-03-21: Version 1.3 -Crono's actions added to Keystone T-1 2004-07-16: Version 1.4 -Added Keystone PD-1 and Darkness Beyond Time 2004-10-11: Version 1.5 -Added Mid-Dimension Timelines, Bend of Time, Temporal Vortex 2006-01-20: Version 1.6 -Missing Cross lines reveal the date of Porre lab explosion 2006-07-04: Version 1.7 -Fixed ambiguity of Dario's incident in Home World; it is now tied to 1017 A.D. 2008-06-13: Version 2.0 -Evidence suggests Chronopolis went to 12000 B.C.; other rewrites and editing. 2009-08-23: Version 2.1 -Pocket Dimension theory is deprecated. 2009-10-06: Version 2.2 -Chrono Trigger DS events have been added. http://www.chronocompendium.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.) Helpful Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The timelines are organized according to this chart: http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/b/b1/Timelines.png Reptite Timeline — The world if Lavos had not landed. Lavos Timeline — The world without the actions of Crono. Keystone T-1 — The world with the actions of Crono. Keystone T-2 — The world with Chronopolis introduced in 12000 B.C. Another World — The natural world 1010-1020 A.D. without Serge. Home World — The anomalistic world 1010-1020 A.D. with Serge. Mid-Dimension Timelines — Timelines created while setting up Project Kid. Ideal Timeline — The world 1010 A.D. and onward of the unified dimensions. Bend of Time — Chronology of the Bend of Time. Darkness Beyond Time — Chronology of the Darkness Beyond Time. Temporal Vortex — Chronology of the Temporal Vortex. Dimensional Vortex - Chronology of the Dimensional Vortex. Lost Sanctum - Chronology of the Lost Sanctum. Note that the End of Time is the same for all timelines, but has noneteheless been divided into sections according to actions in various outside timelines. Note that the Mid-Dimension Timelines are simply the various timelines that came into being by examples of time travel done to set up Project Kid. The timelines of Home and Another are still relevant, and should be consulted for a chronological order of events. I will call the seed that appears frequently throughout Trigger a magic seed. Gaspar, Belthasar, and Melchior are the gurus of Time, Reason, and Life, respectively. Order of Sidequests (Gaspar's Order): Fiona's Forest Ozzie's Fort Mother Brain Sun Stone Cyrus' Ghost Rainbow Shell Black Omen (Queen Zeal) *** by a point means that a footnote is provided at the end of the timeline. '-' means that an event succeeds everything above it, while a series of '*'s mean that it is unknown which event occurred before the other. '-U-' means that this event is dated according to Ultimania, a flawed guide for Chrono Cross written in Japan that may nonetheless have some credibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.)======================REPTITE TIMELINE====================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =>65000000 B.C. -History of this dimension is largely unknown; Lavos almost certainly doesn't land. -Reptites conquer the early humans. =>65000000 B.C. to 2400 A.D. -Reptites evolve into Dragonians. -Dragonians build society closely related to nature. *Dinopolis is built. *The Dragon God is created, a biological machine used to control nature. =>2400 A.D. -Dinopolis is pulled to the Keystone T-2 to serve as a counter-balance for Chronopolis's introduction to the past. -With the Dragon God, Dinopolis, and the moon suddenly disappearing, the Dragonian society probably underwent perilous times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.)======================LAVOS TIMELINE======================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =>Pre-65000000 B.C. *Nu mysteriously exist. *Two sentient races evolve—Reptites and early humans. *Ioka and Laruba are established; the Tyrano Lair is also built. *Reptites begin to wage war on humans for control of the planet. -Kino appears on Mystic Mountain. =>65000000 B.C. -Nu reside at the Hunting Grounds. -The Ioka clan chiefly fights the Reptites; the Laruba clan hides. -Laruba village may or may have not been burned to the ground by the Reptites. -Lavos lands on the planet. -Either during the crash or later, a piece of Lavos known as the Frozen Flame separates from the whole. -Lavos is named by Ayla.

However, despite them not being warped in the Ocean Palace disaster as originally happened, they are still preserved within their timelines (Belthasar in 2300, Melchior in 1000, Gaspar in End of Time, Janus in 600 AD) due to Time Traveler's Immunity.*** -Melchior is locked up on the Mountain of Woe. -Magus replaces Dalton as presider over the completion of the Ocean Palace. -Crono's party comes in from 65000000 B.C. through a Gate. -Crono's party instructs the lady in Zeal to not burn the magic seed. -Schala gives Janus her amulet. -Crono's party defeats Dalton's Golem, and are imprisoned.

Find it at http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Principles_of_Time_and_Dimensional_Travel ***If the player loses to Lavos after fighting him through the Black Omen, the 1999 A.D. eruption bad ending plays. Lavos also always has a defeated shell in every appearance after the party removes his shell. An easy explanation for these phenomena is that in the cut scene that plays after Queen Zeal's defeat, she's using the Black Omen as a blue Gate (which flashes as the Black Omen de-materializes) and sending the party to 1999 A.D. to fight Lavos, at which time he'd be at his strongest power. =>12000 B.C. to 1 A.D. -The land warms up. -Many sealed treasure boxes from Zeal scatter throughout civilization. =>1 A.D. -The Kingdom of Guardia is founded. =>1 A.D. to 590 A.D. *The Tyrano Lair resurfaces, and is called the Giant's Claw.

The Home Dimension's Records of Fate cannot transmit data as a result. *FATE instates Miguel as the guardian of the Dead Sea, presumably because the Frozen Flame of that world still lies there. *Without FATE to instruct him, Kiki's father becomes a fisherman. *Mel is born. =>1011 A.D. -U-Fargo and Zelbess attempt to flee from General Viper. -U-Luccia tries to help, but ends up helping the children only. -U-Marcy is born. -U-Zelbess dies. -U-Fargo entrusts Nikki to a traveler. -U-Fargo changes his ship to the S.S. Zelbess, an entertainment cruiseliner. =>1014 A.D. -Leah is born.*** ***There is common speculation that Leah came to Gaia's Navel by some warp in time. This is not altogether out of the question, considering Gaia's Navel was always present in the sea of El Nido, and not one of the terraformed islands created by Chronopolis; also, two gates existed in 65000000 B.C. in Chrono Trigger, and Kino was found atop Mystic Mountain as a baby. Perhaps Leah went back to that era and then mothered Ayla; however, remember that this would have had to happen before the actions of Crono as well, as they depend on Ayla's existence, meaning if the theory is true, Leah had to return to 65000000 B.C. in the Lavos timeline or not visit Gaia's Navel at all. =>1015 A.D. *NeoFio is planted. -U-Leena and Serge make a promise on Cape Howl. =>1016 A.D. -Dario inherits the Einlanzer. -Radius becomes chief of Arni. -U-Lynx approaches General Viper about the Frozen Flame. =>1010 A.D. to 1017 A.D. -Lynx approaches Porre about the Frozen Flame in El Nido, prompting the dispatch of Norris to Viper Manor as a spy. -Norris is recalled back to Porre. =>1017 A.D. *Luccia loses her brother in a freak accident in a Porre lab, prompting her to come to El Nido. Note that this accident could be an explosion set by Norris to destroy Grobyc's level seven tech, the StrongArm. However, this may have taken place in either dimension as well, which would explain how an intact arm resides at Chronopolis. *Porre assumes control of El Nido. *Dario and Riddel probably plan to marry, as occurs in Another Timeline. -The Acacia Dragoons set out to explore the Isle of the Damned. -Dario is severely wounded due to his corruption by the Masamune. -Dario drifts to Forbidden Island, barely clinging to life. -Most Acacia Dragoons travel to the Dead Sea and become frozen in time and partially phased out of existence standing before the vortex that leads to Miguel. This is probably done by Lynx to ensure that the Dragoons, now no longer controlled by the Records of Fate, don't cause problems in history.*** -Solt and Pepper somehow survive the incident with amnesia and are taken in by Sneff to the S.S. Zelbess, using the names "Lank" and "Stout". *** There is some confusion regarding this event due to the game's script. Specifically, dialogue in Another World establishes Dario's corruption as having occurred in 1017 A.D. This is supported by dialogue in Home World. However, there are two instances in Home World where both the freezing of the Acacia Dragoons and Dario's corruption are alluded to as having occurred in 1016 A.D. Since these are isolated references, and considering that all other evidence supports the date of 1017 A.D., these "four year" allusions are probably oversights by the script writers and should be ignored. Also, while the corruption event is never explicitly depicted in Home World, it is safe to conclude that it did as Dario still has ties to the Masamune in that world and must be battled while wielding it. =>1017 A.D. to 1020 A.D. *FATE presumably plants the Masamune in Death's Door to prevent entrance to the Dead Sea. *Starky's UFO crashes in El Nido Triangle, and is destroyed. *Toma XIV becomes financially unstable and must garden for Radius in Arni. *Norris returns to investigate Viper Manor, finding evidence that the Dragoons sailed to the Dead Sea. =>1020 A.D. -Serge has a troubling dream of Fort Dragonia. -After waking up, Serge is instructed by Leena to find three Komodo scales and meet her at Opassa Beach. -While at Opassa Beach, Serge passes out and crosses Angelus Errare to Another dimension. -Serge returns to find the Water Dragon's breath. -Serge retrives the Water Dragon's breath at Water Dragon Isle, which has been invaded by dwarves. -Serge's party returns to Another World. -Radius leaves Arni. -Serge, now with the body of Lynx, returns from the Temporal Distortion in the Hydra Marsh with Sprigg and Harle. -A decision is made that Serge must enter the Dead Sea, but only the Sage of Marbule supposedly knows how to gain access. -Serge recruits Norris, which enables sea travel by a Porre military craft. -Serge ventures to Marbule, only to find the village deserted and Irenes crying at night. -Irenes provokes Serge to go to the S.S.

Otherwise, this would be a causal loop - that is, Kid's meeting Serge depends on his saving her, which depends on his meeting her, and so on. =>1016 A.D. -Dario inherits the Einlanzer. -Radius presumably retires from the Dragoons. -Radius comes to live in Hermit's Hideaway. -U-Lynx first approaches General Viper about the Frozen Flame. =>1017 A.D. *Luccia loses her brother in a freak accident in a Porre lab, prompting her to come to El Nido.

It suggested that if Serge did not stop the Time Devourer, he would inevitably merge with it too, and that this would complete the being and result in the death of spacetime. Lynx's calling him the "Assassin of Time" is very suited for describing this outcome.
