About Multiple Timelines

As there are multiple Quelmar in existence (As seen via the Edditionals and the Tovag Baragu, as well as Time Paradoxes and Temporal Fissures), there is no one timeline that can be applied to the world. The ever changing nature of players cause time to constantly be written and rewritten. In fact, some world-ending events in Quelmar may cause the ending of (one) Quelmar prematurely. Despite these complications, the timelines listed above are the most common representation of the Eras of Quelmar.
