These events are the collection of the canon events of Dawn of a New Age. Most of these events are centric on the continent of Nora. Other events that affect other parts of the world may be found on alternate timelines.
While each age has its own accord of the roll of years, this record uses the more modern Argentis calendar with NS (Nora Spell) used for all dates after the founding of the Allied Kingdoms and PI (Pro Iunctum) for all dates prior.
Prior to the Age of Knowledge, Nora used the Aquarian calendar, with ARC to mark the years.
