Timeline

This is a detailed timeline of the history of the Destiny universe. Note that nearly all events are not attached to specific dates; they may not be in exact chronological order, and adjacent events in the list may be separated by spans of only a few days or several centuries. Xenurya waz here!!!!!

''Note that there are infinite number of timelines with their own continuities, but this page focuses on the primary story from start to current. So Information from the Dark Future Lorebook are not present.''

The Golden Age
- According to various in game quotes and Grimoire entries, the Golden Age lasted a few centuries. It came to a devastating end in the wake of the Collapse.


 * Present Day—Humanity detects and tracks the Traveler as it enters the Solar System and terraforms Mercury, Venus, and the moons of Jupiter. When it reaches Mars, the multinational Ares One mission is launched to make contact with it. The Traveler promises humanity the universe and imparts its vast knowledge to the species, spurring the colonization of the Solar System.

The City Age
- Many legends rise and fall during the City Age—the Lords of Iron; Saint-14; Toland and Osiris; the Speaker; and many others—not the least of which is a single Guardian, resurrected on the eve of the Darkness' return.

Many Years From Now
- Based on the Rise of Iron's background and introduction, the in-game events can be extrapolated to three years, with Rise of Iron taking place a year after The Taken King.

Shadowkeep

 * At the beginning of the events of Shadowkeep, Eris became haunted by the Nightmares of her fireteam; the same Guardians who had formed the first attempt on Crota's life. During the course of their journey, the Guardian creates several mementos, one for each fallen fireteam member, and gradually frees Eris from their influence.
