Lavos Timeline

General Information

The Lavos Timeline is the world before Chrono Trigger occured, and is void of any of Crono's actions and influences.

Chronology

*** by a point means that a footnote is provided at the end of the timeline.
'-' means that an event succeeds everything above it, while a series of
'*'s mean that it is unknown which event occurred before the other.
'-U-' means that this event is dated according to Ultimania, a flawed guide for
Chrono Cross written in Japan that may nonetheless have some credibility.

=>Pre-65000000 B.C. 

*Nu mysteriously exist. 
*Two sentient races evolve -- Reptites and early humans.

-Lavos lands on the planet.
-A piece of Lavos splinters off during the crash; this comes to be known as the
Frozen Flame.

=>65000000 B.C. to 3000000 B.C. 

-An Ice Age sets in due to the impact of Lavos. 
-Reptites die from the Ice Age; humans retreat underground.

=>3000000 B.C.

-Early humans come into contact with the Frozen Flame, sparking evolution and
giving humanity the power of magic.
-Some humans can use magic unaided by external power sources; others can use
magic with assistance, while some are wholly incapable of using magic.

=>3000000 B.C. to 12000 B.C. 

-Humans discover the Sun Stone, allowing magic use by non-innates and serving
as a huge source of power.
-Zeal is created and islands are raised to the sky as dwellings for the magic
using Enlightened Ones.
-Those totally incapable of using magic stay behind as the Earthbound.
-Schala is born. 
-Janus is born.
-King Zeal dies, and Queen Zeal succeeds the throne.
-The Mammon Machine is built out of Dreamstone by the Gurus, and possibly uses 
the Frozen Flame to extract energy from Lavos.
-A pendant used to control the Mammon Machine and work with sealed doors is
forged by the Gurus.
-Janus hides his magic power to avoid having to work with the new machine.
-Schala is desginated controller of the Mammon Machine; if the Frozen Flame is
inside, she is possibly its Arbiter.
-Queen Zeal becomes cold and aloof.
-The Sun Stone is discontinued as Zeal's primary power source.
*Belthasar designs the Ocean Palace and Blackbird.
*Magic tabs are invented by a resident of Zeal living in Kajar.

2300 A.D., Melchior to 1000 A.D., Gaspar to the End of Time, and Janus to
600 A.D.
-Queen Zeal and Schala are presumably killed, since Lavos does not become a
Time Devourer in the original timeline. However, Schala may have also used
her power to warp to safety with her mother. Also, a prototype Epoch may
have followed Belthasar to 2300 A.D., since Dalton reveals that Belthasar
was working on such a vehicle in Zeal.
