Timeline of Fifth Edition canon: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:40, 20 June 2018

This is a timeline of major events in the Order of Hermes and Mythic Europe, as established in official Fifth Edition products. An event is considered "major" if it affected multiple Houses or Tribunals.

Events from Fourth Edition and earlier products are not included unless they are also substantiated in a Fifth Edition source. Fifth Edition reset the canon, so older game products are no longer considered official.
