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-65,000,000 B.C. 

-Nu mysteriously exist. 
*Two sentient races evolve -- Reptites and Humans. 
*Ioka and Laruba are established; Tyran Fortress is also built. 
*Reptites begin to wage war on humans for control of the planet. 
-Kino appears on Mystic Mountain. 

=>65,000,000 B.C. 

-Nu reside at the Hunting Grounds. 
-The Ioka clan chiefly fights the reptites; the Laruba clan hides. 
-Laruba village may or may have not been burned to the ground by the reptites. 
-Lavos lands on the planet.
-Lavos is named by Ayla. La means fire, Vos means big. 
-Lavos burrows and begins absorbing the planet's energy.

=>65,000,000 B.C To 12,000 B.C. 

-An Ice Age sets in due to the impact of Lavos. 
-Reptites die from the Ice Age; humans retreat underground, while some use
and cultivate elemental magic to create Zeal.
-Plots of ground are raised to form Zeal; the Sun Palace is built to house the 
Sun Stone. Elemental weapons are sealed in a blue pyramid.
-Humans that are not innate magic users as evolved by Lavos are able to use
magic through the Sun Stone and/or other elemental powers.

=>3,000,000 B.C.

-Humans presumably come into contact with the Frozen Flame, sparking evolution
and most likely the ability of humans to employ magic.

=>Pre-12,000 B.C. 

*Belthasar, or perhaps, if they exist, his guru predecessors, creates secret 
rooms in Enhasa and Kajar. 
*Schala is born. 
-Janus is born. 
-The Mammon Machine is built out of Dreamstone by the gurus, and possibly uses 
the Frozen Flame. 
-The pendant that controls sealed doors and the Mammon Machine is created out 
of dreamstone by the gurus either before or after the construction of the 
Mammon Machine. 
*Sealed doors are forged, and controlled only by the power of Lavos channeled 
through the pendant. 
*The Sun Stone is discontinued as Zeal's primary power source. 
*Belthasar designs the Ocean Palace and Blackbird.
*King Zeal dies; the Queen takes the throne.
*Magic tabs are invented by a resident of Zeal living in Kajar. 
-Dalton is placed in charge of the completion of the Ocean Palace. 
-Slave labor by the Earthbound is used at the Ocean Palace. 

=>12,000 B.C. 

-The Guardia line is first seen here in the Elder of Algetty, the Earthbound 
cave. 
*Masamune is forged out of Dreamstone and Melchior's dreams.
*The Seed of Life apparently survives Queen Zeal's order to burn it; however, 
it is presumably not used by Fiona in this timeline. It is given to a woman by 
Melchior. 
*The Gurus somewhat learn of the Mammon Machine's possible evil.
*Schala gives Janus his amulet. 
*The Mammon Machine is moved to the Ocean Palace. 
-In an effort to harness power, Queen Zeal uses the Ocean Palace, which causes 
a gate that sends Belthasar to 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 herself and her mother out. Also, 
the Epoch may have followed Belthasar to 2300 A.D., since Dalton reveals that 
he was working on such a vehicle in Zeal.
-Lavos, awoken by the Ocean Palace, obliterates Zeal. 
-The Sun Palace sinks in the sea with the Sun Stone inside. 
-The storm causing the Ice Age abates. 
*The Seed of Life is possibly planted. It is confirmed that it survives the 
fall; otherwise it would not appear in 2300 A.D. 
*Alfador survives the fall of Zeal. His cat-family line also survives, although 
the genes are rare. Crono's last cat is purple. 
*Doreen presumably survives.

=>1 A.D.

-Guardia is founded.

=>12,000 B.C. To 600 A.D. 

-The land warms up.
*The blue pyramid, which stores Zeal's mightiest weapons, surfaces in a forest. 
It is not accessible to Crono's party until 1000 A.D. 
*Many sealed treasure boxes from Zeal scatter throughout the land. 
*Schala's pendant finds its way to the Earthbound, and is passed along the 
Guardia line. 
*The Masamune is sealed in a cave in the Denadoro mountains.

-Queen Leene marries into the Guardia royal family.

-Magus breaks the Masamune in a fight with Cyrus and Glenn. 
-Cyrus is murdered by Magus and Ozzie; Glenn becomes Frog by Magus' spell. 
-A beast is seen carrying something into the Northern Ruins, where Cyrus is 
buried. This is most likely Frog burying Cyrus.
-Cyrus' ghost cannot be helped, and haunts the ruins.

=>Pre-600 A.D. 

*The Tyrano Lair resurfaces briefly, and is called the Giant's Claw. It houses 
the Rainbow shell. 
*A beast called Yakra haunts the forest west of Guardia, and occupies a
cathedral when it is built there.
*Glenn is picked on as a child. 
*Janus warps in from 12,000 B.C. due to the ocean palace disaster. He is raised 
by the mystics and becomes a powerful mage, also taking the name Magus.

necessary to summon Lavos and avenge his sister's death.

=>634 A.D.

=>600 A.D. To 1000 A.D. 

*Fiona's house wastes away. 
*Yakra maintains his control over the Chancellors of Guardia. 

=>Pre-1000 A.D. 

*Queen Aliza, Marle's mother, passes away. 
*Melchior warps in from 12,000 B.C. after the Ocean Palace disaster. 
*An earthquake occurs.

Robo is built.

=>1999 A.D.

-A deceased resident of the Arris Dome holds the seed of life. 
-Belthasar finishes the Epoch. 

=>Post-2300 A.D. 

-The last few humans most likely die (presumably, the Seed of Life isn't
planted). 
-Presumably, Lavos spawns seek out other planets, unless Mother Brain's plan
comes to pass, though her plan was most likely an excuse to terminate humans.

=>The End Of Time 

-Gaspar and possibly Spekkio come in from the Ocean Palace disaster.
