An indispensable part of the Worldbuilding process for an epic fantasy world or Space Opera universe is a timeline showing when all the events described in the stories and back stories happen, and how many days, months and years pass between them. They go nicely with a Fantasy World Map, and often make appearances in Universe Compendiums and Universe Concordances. Significant backstory events described here may include a Great Offscreen War. See also The Trope History of the Universe. And check out our Grand Unified Timeline and our Timelines index. |

Odin Sphere, by virtue of being really non-linear storytelling, being told in non-chronological order, and mixing it up with The Rashomon, has this as a flowchart. | |

Halo Wars has a Halo Universe Timeline, though it is far from complete. Mostly only events relevant to the game itself along with some character backstories and details about the early years of the Human-Covenant War. There are also a few major events from the original Halo trilogy. | |

Tolkien must have loved doing these, which kept turning into narrative on him. The Tale of Years in The Lord of the Rings appendix is an excellent example, covering all major events of the Second, Third and early Fourth Ages. The Annals of Valinor and Annals of Beleriand cover events from the creation of the world to the end of the First Age, but Tolkien never completed a definitive revision of them. The omission of official chronologies from The Silmarillion led Robert Foster to compile his own for The Complete Guide to Middle-earth from the few relative dates in the text. Tolkien's actual drafts were published in the History of Middle-earth series. | |

The Elder Scrolls series has thousands of years of backstory and its own system of recording dates based on "Eras". This timeline isn't clearly stated within any of the games themselves, but instead must be pieced together from in-game sources which mention dates. See the series' timeline here. | |

The Unauthorized Chronology of the The DCU as seen here, despite being unofficial, does a much better job of sorting out the continuity of DC Comics than the company itself has despite having had THREE massive retcons in less than 20 years precisely for that purpose. | |

Doctor Who had an unofficial Terrestrial Index by Jean-Marc Lofficier, which gave the history of the Earth (original series only, since it was published in 1991), and Ahistory: An Unauthorised History of the Doctor Who Universe by Lance Parkin, the most recent edition of which is complete up to Series 6. | |
