Timeline

An Arc is the Spellcrafter series equivalent of an era. Phrases such as 'the era of Universal War' may also be used.

The unit of measurement used in reference to the passage of time will be based on the momentous event which was the Battle of Terminus. This event kicked off the most important events of Spellcrafter and thus will be denoted by "BBT (Before the Battle of Terminus). Dates following thereafter which are marked as "ABT" (after the Battle of Terminus). If the passage of time in units becomes too great, another monumental event may be used.

The Suyan Space Border War(about 85 years BBT)
The Shadehedge Unified Republic is formed by multiple factions of Sorcerers and commoners within the Shadow Realm. They attempt to invade the Suyan galaxy, but are beat back by a coalition of forces from varying neighboring galaxies. They are once again banished to the Shadow Realm, are forced to agree to unfair terms such as giving up planets, and reduce their military. While the factions who came to the defense of the Suyan Galaxy formed the Alliance of the Light as a shield against the universe they deemed to be the Dark Realm and the Sorcerers who resided within it. Any attempt to move on the Light Realm universe where the Alliance of the Light was based would be seen as an act of war. Various sanctions were also placed on the Empire after this event including paying fees that they did not even have. The Suyan planets refuse to join the Alliance due to the damages caused by the war they started.
