Timeline

Siderea's timeline stretches back billions of years, so this page won't have years on it or even rough approximations. That and I'm lazy and really bad at defining exact timeframes so yeah.

=Age of the Creators= The era in which the Creators presided over Siderea.

Dawn of Creation

 * Entirety is created by the High Star and Great Fade.
 * Some time later they both create Siderea alongside the Vast Glow.
 * Cetia, Serpentarius, and Librae are created.
 * The zodiacs are created. Among the initial batch are Mulapin, Graffias, Scorpius, Sariel, Aquari, Sadalsuud, Piscium, and Michael.
 * Uriel was probably in a very early batch but maybe not the first batch?? idk
 * Leviathan is born.
 * Ea is born.
 * Leonis is born.
 * Virginis is born.
 * Tauri is born.
 * Capricoris is born.
 * Cancri is born.
 * Sagittaria, Orion, and Rigel are born in around the same timeframe.
 * Arietis is born.
 * IIRC Betelgeuse was born somewhere during this era??
 * Metatron, Jophiel, and Sandalphon were probably born in this era as well??

=Age of the Gods= The era in which the gods openly reigned.

The Catasterismi

 * The Great Fade proposes they ascend a pantheon so the High Star can live more happily.
 * The gods are ascended; Arietis creates the Astral Regalia during her trial.

Divine Era

 * The gods reign while the Creators continue to watch over, all is well!!
 * Raziel is born.
 * The High Star elects to end their life and become part of the reincarnation cycle.
 * After the High Star is laid to rest, the Great Fade goes off to make Hell College.
 * The Vast Glow helps support Heaven College some time after but visits Siderea and the High Star's grave frequently.
 * At some point during or possibly before this era Metatron begins writing the Book of Enoch and Disappearing across space and time, accidentally bringing Sandalphon with them.

=Age of the Risen Star= When kity happened. Incredibly short time period, comparatively.


 * The Risen Star awakens.
 * The Vast Glow introduces the Risen Star to the gods.
 * The Risen Star becomes known to Siderean society.
 * It turns out they are very hungy however.
 * Scorpius attempts to assassinate the Risen Star but ultimately backs down.
 * After souls begin to be fed to the Risen Star, Scorpius summons the Great Fade and informs her of the Risen Star's existence.
 * The Great Fade escorts the Risen Star off of Siderea.

The Great Cetan Exodus

 * Cetia leaves to find the High Star's halves, initiating the Great Cetan Exodus.
 * Michael elects to stay behind to carry on Cetia's duties in her absence and receives her Blessing.

=Age of Upheaval= The era in which certain horsie boys caused Problems.

The Tragedy of Orion

 * Orion betrays Sagittaria by tricking her out of Jupiter during a friendly spar and using it against her.
 * Arietis forges Galaxias for Orion, then takes a Jupiter to the chest. Once Capricoris comes to investigate, Orion strikes her as well.
 * After targeting Serpentarius, Orion strikes down Tauri, Cancri, and Leonis when they realize something's happened and mount an offensive. Distraught over Leonis, Virginis seeks vengeance and gets struck down as well despite Scorpius explicitly telling him not to.
 * The remaining gods conspire to trick Orion into believing Scorpius wishes to join him, using illusions and clever shapeshifting to make it seem as though Scorpius has aided him in defeating Geminorum.
 * Scorpius takes Orion to the Cosmos where they "defeat" Librae and create an opening for Scorpius to use Pluto to pierce the gaps in Orion's armor and eliminate him.
 * Orion gets Pluto'd in the pancreas and the remaining gods get to yanking the arrows out of the fallen gods and cleaning up the resulting mess.
 * Not sure how to get rid of it, Galaxias is dismantled and scattered across the planet.
 * Orion's followers become ostracized, and many of them go into hiding or otherwise flee elsewhere. Betelgeuse ends up off-planet entirely.
 * The gods rethink their positions and their duties and become considerably less prominent, showing themselves to mortals and granting them power less and less often.
 * I don't remember if Ganymede was born before or after the whole Orion thing... I feel like I explicitly established the rough era Ganymede was born in but I know at least it wasn't until after the Risen Star thing.

The Vengeance of Rigel

 * Rigel plots vengeance and goes into hiding, chasing immortality out of fear that his extant immortality from Sagittaria might be revoked. This mostly involves a lot of prima materia chugging and seeking the pieces of Galaxias.
 * Progressively losing his mind, Rigel vanishes into the earth and isn't heard from for quite a long time.
 * Chrysomallos, Karkinos, Nemea, Astraea, and Cendrillon are born. Dunno about Artemis, Chiron, Eros, and Asclepius yet; they might be older.
 * Astraea frees Cendrillon and her peers from their captors.
 * Rigel eventually returns, crawling out from the core of the planet as a prima materia monstrosity. He begins laying waste to everything around him, doing everything in his power to destabilize the planet itself.
 * The gods struggle with what to do but ultimately decide they have to lead mortals to save themselves lest they widen the rift between them further.
 * The gods each pick out champions - including Scorpius picking out a Cetus on Cetia's behalf - and grant them their Blessings, declaring them saints. The saints are also given the Celestial Regalia, forged by Arietis out of anima mundi.
 * Scorpius and Sagittaria take charge of training the saints, and eventually they have a climactic showdown with Rigel.
 * Rigel is stopped, but what exactly does that mean? Did he get Pluto'd in the pancreas? Perhaps Hades'd in the head? Normal killed? Redeemed? Uncorrupted and then died from having no body left? Is he still alive out there somewhere? It is a mystery...
 * Either way the day wasn't exactly yet saved and the next many years were marked by an immense amount of corruption and constant monster outbreaks due to the sheer amount of raw prima materia flowing on the surface thanks to Rigel's actions.
 * The Archangels probably started being a thing during this era or maybe after Orion. Mayyyybe before?? Idk.

=The Death of Magic= Society went long enough without an apocalypse that they accidentally learned the secrets of Siderean magic and fucked everything up by explaining it away, causing a cavalcade of consequences.

=The Death of the Sky= Encouraged not to rely solely on magic, mortals proceeded to go in the exact opposite direction, cause mad pollution and climate change, and Aquari decided to make it everyone else's problem.

The Facet Conspiracy

 * naughty rocks with a point try to obtain god powers, things go comically wrong

=Rise of Arachne= Arachne crawled out of the core and became a friend! Or, well, she tried.

=The Great Cetan Invasion= The Cetans began coming back which kinda wound up being... Bad.

=Modern Era= Now!! yaaaay
