As far as is known, the continentTellius and the other landmasses which once accompanied it occupy a singleFire Emblem series story universe, with no known tie to any other (with the exception ofPriam's existence inAwakening, although the nature of this development is unknown). An official timeline of the history of Tellius was provided by the official Japanese Fire Emblem World website, and the bulk of the information listed here comes from there. Everything else is inferences from the relevant games,Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance andRadiant Dawn.
Tellius uses an unnamed in-universe calendar which uses the reformation ofBegnion into an empire as itscentral epoch, with the years counted relative to the empire's foundation in year 0.
Timeline
| Year | Events in Tellius |
|---|---|
| At least 1000 years prior to −155 | The grand creation •Ashunera emerges from the primordial sea and creates the lands of the world, as well as the plants and animals which inhabit it. • After a millennium, animals evolve into theZunanma, the first people. • Wars erupt among various Zunanma clans. Ashunera separates the Zunanma intoLaguz andBeorc in a failed attempt to stop the warring. |
| −155 | TheGreat Flood • Ashunera's emotions run wild and she sinks the world in an immense deluge, killing countless beorc and laguz. After the flood, the only known landmass to not be submerged isTellius. • Ashunera casts away her emotions to prevent further disasters, creatingAshera andYune. • Ashera chooses three champions – the beorcAltina, the lion laguzSoan, and the dragon laguzDheginsea – to defeat Yune. • The heron laguzLehran seals Yune ina medallion. |
| −131 | Formation of the Kingdom ofBegnion • Altina, one of the Three Heroes who defeated the Dark God, became the first Queen of Begnion. |
| −95 | Birth of the Apostle • Altina's granddaughter Yoram predicted the arrival of a great famine, and her prediction was confirmed. Yoram was known and worshipped as the apostle: the one who could converse with the goddess. |
| 0 | Begnion Empire established • In the name of the Goddess's chosen, the Apostle, the senate declared that all the regions outside ofGoldoa were to be ruled by Begnion. The Begnion theocracy and empire was established, with the apostle as its empress. The first empress was Altina's descendant, Apostle Meshua. |
| 160–250 | Begnion's golden age • The discrimination against the laguz greatly increased over the years, and the laguz's hatred of beorc rule reached its peak. • The independent Kingdom of Goldoa continually protested to the senate about the treatment of the laguz, but to no avail. Within Begnion there appeared a beorc movement to remove the power and property of laguz. • The senate, stating themselves as perfect beings who were closest to the Goddess since ancient times, declared that the Zunanma were "humans" and that they, themselves, were also "humans". Very quickly this inspiring name spread across the whole of Begnion and was eventually officially accepted. In comparison to themselves, the laguz were seen to be closer to the beasts and were referred to as "sub-humans". |
| 320 | Start of the Great Laguz Movement • In order to find new lands, the laguz steadily started leaving Begnion. Many of the beast tribe headed to the distant forests ofGallia, and some of the bird tribe escaped to the unknown southern islands. |
| 350 | First War of Gallia • The senate sent soldiers to diminish the power of the beasts who had escaped to Gallia. However, the beasts used the forest terrain to their advantage and engaged in guerrilla warfare, leading to a fierce battle with the Begnion soldiers. |
| 355 | Formation ofGallia • Solhaut of the lion clan was pushed to become the leader of Gallia's beast tribe and, with the support of Goldoa, Gallia was established. |
| 360 | • Encouraged by the formation of Gallia, the birds who had escaped to the southern islands began to call their comrades that remained in Begnion to escape. The bird tribes slowly began to gather at the island known asPhoenicis, and their independence steadily rose. Second War of Gallia • Worried about the current state of affairs, Begnion sent more soldiers on an expedition to Gallia. However, before the beasts' guerilla tactics, the battle was indecisive just like before. |
| 385 | Formation ofPhoenicis • Taking advantage of the confusion caused by war, the birds push the hawk Horus to become their king and, at the island ofPhoenicis, established their own country. |
| 390 | Formation ofCrimea • The Begnion senate divided into two. Led by the powerful senator Caradock, the side that wished to find peace with the laguz became independent. AtCrimea they formed their own country, and made peace with Gallia. At the same time they began to make up with their motherland, Begnion. |
| 395 | • Begnion and Gallia signed a peace treaty. |
| 400 | • The Kingdom of Crimea, Kingdom of Gallia and Kingdom of Phoenicis were officially recognised as countries. • At the same time, within Begnion, the voices of those who wish to re-evaluate the position of laguz began to steadily rise. |
| 405 | Formation ofDaein • The view of beorc and laguz equality increases in popularity, leading to the loss of power of those who back the sub-human view. Led by the senator Hengist they left for independence and established their own country atDaein. |
| 410–415 | Daein-Crimea War • Daein requested for Begnion's aid to invade Gallia, but Begnion refused. Daein also requested of Crimea, but was refused as well. • Realizing that they could not defeat Gallia by themselves, Daein invaded their neighbor Crimea instead. However, due to Crimea's strong resistance, the war was indecisive. The war continued for 5 long years, before both countries decided to avoid destroying one another, and so ended the war. |
| 420 | Formation ofKilvas • Because of differences within the bird tribes, the Ravens left Phoenicis. At the nearby island of Kilvas they established their own country. |
| 425 | • Feeling that their dominance has started to fade, the Begnion Empire, using the Goddess's name, sent troops to begin an invasion to restore their dominance of the continent. The invasion started with new powers Daein and Kilvas. |
| 428 | • Kilvas refused Phoenicis' reinforcements and surrendered to Begnion. Also the Daein troops, concentrated at the capital of Nevassa, continued the resistance. |
| 432 | Tellius continental war • Believing Begnion's dominance over the continent would not bode well, Crimea decided to ally with Daein, and declared war against Begnion. Begnion's battle with Crimea and Daein erupted. Although Begnion's might was unshaken, due to the involvement of the Laguz of Gallia, Phoenicis and Kilvas, the war was prolonged and continued for numerous decades. |
| 470 | Formation ofSerenes • The citizens of Serenes protested against Begnion's war, which was done in name of the goddess. Because they doubted the existence of the apostle, they ended up angering the senate and became at opposing sides with them. Finally, the citizens of Serenes established their own independent country, although the battle of the validity of the apostle never ended. |
| 478 | Treaty of Sarasa • The war entered a seemingly neverending state. Begnion, worried about their great losses, finally decided to find a way to stop the war. In the end, by the intervention of Goldoa, peace talks were held within the Sarasa region of Goldoa. Begnion signed a treaty of peace, with the conditions that they had to return their conquered lands to Daein and Kilvas and recognise them as official countries. |

| 624 | Laguz Emancipation Act • Attacking the senate who were slow to act with regards to laguz slavery, Apostle Misaha declared the Laguz Emancipation Act. The apostle's voice was powerful. The senate could no longer ignore the cries of the country and ordered the release of all the laguz slaves. |

| 626 | • Within Daein, various mysterious changes occurred. GeneralGawain of the Four Riders mysteriously vanished, along with his fiancéeElena. A plague gripped Daein, resulting in countless deaths, including deaths of the king and almost all of the royal family. • To avenge the Serenes Massacre, Phoenicis began pillaging nearby Begnion ships. Also Kilvas took advantage of the situation and pillaged relentlessly. Within Begnion, awareness of the bird tribes' actions steadily rose. |
| 627 | •Ashnard, the sole survivor of the Daein royal family, became the 13th king of Daein. • The holy dracoknights of Begnion, led byShiharam, deserted for Daein. King Ashnard awarded the title of Palace Knights to Shiharam and his men. |
