Exact date of Earthfall and other historical events?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Grand Archive

Hello everyone,

Has Paizo ever established the exact day Earthfall happened? We know it's -5293 AR, but is there a more precise date available?

On a related note, is there an official date for the reemergence of Xin-Edasseril? Or is 4718 AR as precise as it's going to get?

I ask because it would be really helpful to this character's backstory of I knew exactly how many times she broke the nose of a certain condescending student at the Arcanium Abjurant.

Paizo and the idea of "exact dates" are in a complicated relationship.

Yeah, no exact date cuz theoretically your Revenge party could've taken more or less downtime/rest that causes the precise date to shift a bit.

Also because while exact dates are fun for nerd purposes and great for worldbuilding a novel, having more degrees of freedom allows different tables to nail down specific dates to help tell the stores they want. So going to your character’s backstory… what dates would make the most compelling story for that character? Is the rest of the table okay with pinning those dates down? If so, you have the dates you need.
