"This timeline contains information regarding Kairosian events following the Cataclysm. Information presented here may not be publicly available or widely known to the average citizen of the archipelago. For further questions, please contact a DM."

Calamity Era (0 AK - 500 AK)
The beginning of known Kairosian history. This period is marked by the creation of the first settlements and governments on Kairos, all vying for control. Almost all surviving knowledge regarding the continent was lost in the infighting.

Founding Era (500 AK - 1400 AK)
The island is united under a single government, which proclaims itself as the United Kingdom of Kairos. Calamity Era and Pre-Calamity Era nobles are incorporated as members of the kingdom's court with relative success. While peace is maintained for several centuries, circumstantial events lead to the removal of power from the monarch and back into the hands of the noble elite.

Principium Era (1400 AK - 2000 AK)
The United Principality of Kairos is founded, creating a government with three branches, intended to divide power equally between members of the upper class, the Clergy, and the monarch (now referred to as the princeps). The Clergy and the nobles now control much of the affairs of the island and establish many of the systems that are in place today.

Solian Era (2000 AK - 2320 AK)
A golden age of Kairos. Rapid expansion and colonization of various islands around the archipelago leads to an expansion of law and order to better control the much larger populace underneath Kairosian control. New developments lead to the transition of all of Kairos and eventually the rest of the archipelago to the Solian calendar system.

Cornelian Era (2320 AK - 2370 AK)
The Battle for Kanara and ascension of Princeps Cornelius changes the political landscape almost overnight. The Office of the Princeps gains powers it hasn't seen for centuries and now rivals the other branches. The attempted colonization of Kanara is also abandoned during this time, and the settlement of New Gork is founded.

Modern Era (2370 AK - Present)
Diplomatic ties to Kanara have been restored at this point, and full independence is granted to the city. With the retirement of Princeps Cornelius, a new Princeps has ascended. The next steps for Kairos are not clear, but there are many who wish to plot the course.
