The Index · Earth & Beyond timeline by Albino Eatpod, July 2001

The Chronicle

A reconstructed chronology of Earth & Beyond lore, drawn from Albino Eatpod’s design drafts and checked against the shipped game’s own timeline. Some of it reached the game, some contradicts later drafts, and some describes a future the game never got to. Highlights shows the turning points. Story keeps every lore entry and the real events it is woven into. Everything adds back the astronomy milestones the timeline was also written to teach. Dates follow the July 2001 timeline; where another draft gives a conflicting version, it is shown beside the entry.

“This timeline exists within the EnB Universe as an object referred to as The Index … crystalline spheres that, when touched by one with the proper key, project images, narrations, and impressions of the following events.”
