 * The Witch of Envy begins her rampage, kickstarting the apocalyptical event known as the Great Calamity. Starting from an unknown date and unknown location, the Witch irrationally began destroying the world around her, collapsing most of the old civilizations and killing untold numbers of people. Her actions also permanently shifted the geography of the world.
 * The Great Sage Flugel, with the combined strengths of his apprentice Shaula, the Divine Dragon Volcanica, and the first Sword Saint Reid Astrea attempted to kill the rampaging Witch of Envy. However, because the Witch was unable to be slain, she was instead sealed away within the vast expanse of the Augria Sand Dunes in eastern Lugnica. Flugel took it upon himself to build the great Pleiades Watchtower and ensure that the Witch would never be freed again.
 * Sanctuary is assaulted by the Warlock of Melancholy, who is in pursuit of the Witch of Greed.

Minerva goes crazy in a trap and dies, Carmilla is burned to death, Daphne withers away in the Augria Sand Dunes, Typhon is drowned in Priestella and Sekhmet dies falling from the Great Waterfall whilst fighting against Volcanica.

 * Reid Astrea passes away due to old age. The Sword Reid is passed down to the next Sword Saint. Somehow, the Divine Protection of Sword Saint is created and passes down to the next Sword Saint.


 * The Great Sage Flugel orders Shaula to protect the Pleiades Watchtower. Sometime later, Flugel entrusts Petelgeuse with a box containing the Witch Factor of Sloth.

 * Veltol Astrea, Theresia's father, is killed by Carol Remendis, who is under the control of one of Stride's Ten Cursed Meteor Rings, during Stride's attack on the Astrea Manor. The pregnant Theresia is kidnapped and brought to Picoutatte, alongside Carol.

 * Reinhard van Astrea became the current generation's Sword Saint at the age of 5. His inheritance of the Divine Protection of the Sword Saint came at a rather unfortunate time, as the sudden transfer of power resulted in his grandmother and previous generation's Sword Saint losing her powers mid-battle with the White Whale, unintentionally leading to her death.


 * The infant daughter of Ford Lugnica, the brother of the 41st king, Randohal Lugnica, is kidnapped by thieves who had snuck into his castle undetected. The child is never recovered. Supposedly, an unknown individual within the elite Royal Guard had allowed the intruders to escape just as they were about to be caught. The incident and even the existence of the child is not publicly known, but the kidnapping of the royal baby would have major consequences within the internal society of the Royal Guards. It is one of few events not recorded in the Dragon Tablet.

Puck protects her and battles Melakuera. Melakuera loses the battle and perishes, with Puck inheriting the title of the Great Spirit of Fire.


 * At around that time, the Imperial Selection Ceremony kicks off, as the 76th Emperor of Vollachia, Drizen Vollachia, isn't fit to rule, and is subsequently scorched to death by the Yang Sword Vollachia. In the following months, his children battle and kill each other, with Vincent Abellux being the only survivor, thus becoming the 77th Emperor of the Sacred Empire of Vollachia.

 * Rommel is burned to death by the Yang Sword Vollachia.


 * Months before Vincent's victory, Abellux Mansion is attacked by the forces of rival claimant Lamia Godwin.

 * Following Lamia Godwin's death, Berstetz Fondalfon joins Vincent's ranks, later becoming the Imperial Prime Minister.


 * Palladia Manesque is killed by Prisca Benedict some time after the Battle of the Abellux Mansion.


 * Some time after Vincent's coronation, the Gladiator Island of Ginunhive prepares to revolt, wishing to leave the Empire and become independent, but the newly-crowned Emperor sends the Imperial Army to hush out the rebellion. During that time, Al is still in the Island, and helps Arakiya, who infiltrated the island, open the main gate and let the Imperial Army inside. The rebellion is destroyed and the mastermind, Ubilk, escapes.

4 BA

 * The Fourtour Plains in Lugnica is ravaged by the Great Rabbit and the surrounding villages are forced to evacuate. Duke Karsten and his retainers fight the Demon Beast, but he sustains injuries. The 17-year-old Crusch Karsten arrives later with Ferris Argyle, along with another contingent of soldiers, and manages to drive the creatures out. This event greatly boosts Crusch's image in the Kingdom, prompting people to start calling her The Valkyrie.


 * Hannah Argyle, the wife of the ruined Biehn Argyle, suddenly dies. Lord Argyle, already a pariah in Lugnican society, begins to dive deeper into depravity with his illegal research into resurrection. It would only be much later when it was discovered that Biehn had brutally murdered his wife; the reason is unknown, but frenetic stab wounds suggest an intense argument of some kind.

2 BA

 * Ferris Argyle becomes a Kingdom Knight and enters the Royal Guard via a recommendation by the Royal Institute of Healing, as his Divine Protection of Water grants him incredible Healing powers critical to the operations of the military. His appointment to the Royal Guard is further influenced by a recommendation by his close friend, the 4th Prince of Lugnica, Fourier Lugnica.


 * Biehn Argyle is discovered to have been communicating with a foreign operative from Vollachia in order to obtain slaves for human experimentation. House Karsten once again takes up the task of investigating House Argyle and the following events lead to a clash at Argyle estate between the Karsten private troops and Biehn's corpse soldiers, the result of his resurrection experiments. Biehn briefly manages to complete the act of resurrection on his wife, only for her to strangle him to death. The last living person in the mansion, the sole maid Hannah Regret, locks herself in the room with Biehn and his wife as the mansion burns down in the aftermath of the battle. The event is covered up and the residents of the Argyle manor were officially declared to have died by an accidental fire.


 * As with the case with the rest of the royal family, Fourier Lugnica falls ill to the mysterious epidemic. His father, King Randohal Lugnica, also becomes ill around this time. The Royal Family is effectively paralyzed.


 * All members of the Royal Family begin to die en masse due to the same unknown disease that supposedly killed Princess Emerada.


 * Reinhard van Astrea is urgently dispatched to Pleiades Watchtower, in order to contact the Great Sage and find a cure for the disease that struck the Royal Family. He is unsuccessful, as he isn't able to pass through the Sand Time.

8 to 9 months BA

 * The total extinction of the known Lugnica Royal Family leads to the abolition of the covenant between the Kingdom of Lugnica and the Divine Dragon Volcanica and the potential power vacuum threatens to become a nationwide emergency. The Council of Elders, led by Prime Minister Miklotov McMahon, assumes control of the government and scrambles to deal with the issue of succession. Crusch is the first of five candidates discovered to have the qualifications to potentially be Lugnica's new ruler as signified by the Dragon Insignia. She immediately moves to meet the Sword Demon Wilhelm van Astrea, now an old, though capable man, and invites him into her camp in exchange for House Karsten's assistance in hunting the Hakugei that killed his wife 14 years ago.


 * Prince Fourier Lugnica and the rest of the Royal Family peacefully die after a month-long struggle with a mysterious illness. With a final dream of marriage, he peacefully passes away in the lap of Crusch Karsten, the woman he loves. Ferris officially becomes Crusch's knight and Crusch officially begins her bid for the Royal Selection, very much influenced by the prince’s death.


 * Priscilla Barielle, the daughter of late Vollachian Emperor Drizen Vollachia, and the young wife of the prominent Lord Leip Barielle, is discovered to be another Royal Selection Candidate. A tournament is held for her to choose her personal knight out of fifty. Surprisingly, a former gladiator by the name of Aldebaran is picked, despite not finishing in the top four.


 * Shortly after, Leip bomes indisposed after mysteriously going into shock, and later dies. As the sole inheritor, Priscilla gains control over his territory. The domain miraculously prospers thanks to her divine luck and exceptional leadership abilities.


 * Roswaal L Mathers meets Emilia and Puck. After Puck and Roswaal battle for what was said to be half a day, Emilia defuses the situation and accepts Roswaal's invitation to his mansion after he shows her the Dragon Insignia and entices her into joining the Royal Selection to “free the elves frozen in Elior Forest”.

4 to 5 months BA

 * A coup d'etat nearly occurs in Vollachia in which the 77th Emperor, Vincent Vollachia, is briefly kidnapped from his throne by Lugnican diplomats, almost allowing conspirators Balleroy Temeglyph and Gramdart Holstoy to seize the throne. The plot is uncovered, and Vincent is returned to the Imperial title.


 * The Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica enters a non-aggression pact with the Sacred Empire of Vollachia–something that did not happen in centuries.

3 to 4 months BA

 * Roughly a month after the incident in the Empire, 1st ranking Divine General Cecilus Segmunt and the 4th ranking Divine General Chisha Gold enter the Kingdom's territory, in search of Gramdart Holstory–the culprit behind the failed coup. After several days of searching, Cecilus locates the fugitive viscount and takes him into custody.


 * The Kingdom's Sword Saint Reinhard van Astrea and the Empire's 1st Ranking Divine General Cecilus Segmunt hold a sparing match, mimicking the Silver Flower Dance of Picoutatte. The winner of the duel is unknown, however, the Dragon Sword recognises Cecilus as a worthy opponent and Reinhard is permitted to fight the Blue Lightning with the Dragon Sword Reid. The duel goes down in history as the Silver Flower Dance of the Sword Saint and the Blue Lightning.

Furthermore, Reinhard makes contact with the fifth and final Royal Selection Candidate, the girl from the slums, named Felt. He takes her to a spare Astrea mansion located in the Capital by force.
 * Less than a week later, Meili is dispatched to the Mathers territory by an unknown figure. Meili makes contact with the Irlam Village, curses and kidnaps 6 children and releases a pack of Wolgharms into the surrounding forest by disabling the protective barrier put up by the Margrave.

1 to 2 months AA

 * The Emilia Camp, Crusch Camp and Anastasia Camp form a temporary alliance, launching the joint-effort Hunt for the Hakugei, followed by a brief campaign to eradicate local Witch Cultists led by Sloth, known as The Sloth Subjugation. Following the successful battle against the Hakugei, the military convoy transporting Crusch, Rem and the wounded soldiers were ambushed by the Sin Archbishops of Greed and Gluttony. Every soldier, save for the units of the Fang of Iron mercenaries are either killed or consumed by Gluttony. Rem gets her name and memories eaten, while Crusch gets only her memories eaten.


 * In the days following the successful subjugations, Emilia Camp returns to the Mansion. Two days later, Subaru, Emilia and Otto set off towards the Sanctuary.


 * The Oousagi makes its appearance in the Lost Forest of Kremaldy. Elsa and Meili return to the mansion roughly three to four days after the trio's departure from the Mansion, but are intercepted by Subaru, Garfiel and Otto. A fight breaks out, resulting in Elsa Granhiert's death, Meili Portrout's defeat and Roswaal's Mansion's destruction. Just before the mansion collapses, Subaru makes a contract with Beatrice and the two teleport back to the Sanctuary. Simultaneously, Emilia frees the Sanctuary by overcoming the three trials of the Witch of Greed. Upon Subaru's and Beatrice's arrival, Emilia and two fight the Oousagi, successfully managing to send the hoard to a different dimension with the usage of Al Shamak.

 * Following the defeat of the Witch Cult in Priestella, Priscilla Camp is attacked by eleven Vollachian assassins as soon as she returns to her own mansion in Barielle Territory. Randomly deciding to go to Vollachia, Priscilla Camp sets off towards the Empire. Roughly a week later, while crossing the Kingdom's border with Vollachia via the Tigracy River, they're attacked by a group of river bandits, who turn out to be members of Selena Dracroy's personal army. They take Priscilla to Selena.


 * Emilia and Anastasia Camps set foot towards the Pleiades Watchtower, in order to meet the Great Sage and find a way to undo the damage done by Lust and Gluttony. The journey takes roughly two months. Upon arrival, the group is met by the Sage's Apprentice Shaula, but the Great Sage himself is nowhere to be seen. The Camps need to go through three trials once more, facing against tasks representing the three Old Heroes - the Sage Flugel, Reid Astrea and Volcanica. The three Gluttonies, Lye Batenkaitos, Louis Arneb and Roy Alphard invade the Tower alongside a large group of powerful Demon Beasts. As in a year prior, Emilia solves the three trials and becomes the Administrator of the Tower. Ram kills Lye Batenkaitos and avenges her sister, while Julius defeats Reid Astrea and subsequently Roy Alphard. The remaining members of the expedition defeat Shaula. Subaru, Rem and the amnesiac Sin Archbishop of Gluttony Louis Arneb are teleported to the Sacred Empire of Vollachia.


 * After Subaru's disappearance, the remaining group, with Roy Alphard captured, returns to the Miload Mansion from the Watchtower where they form a rescue plan with Roswaal, waiting for additional reinforcements to return from Priestella. They also contact the Fangs of Iron for assistance.


 * In Vollachia, the trio entangle themselves in a conflict between the Empire and the former 77th Emperor Vincent. Subaru sides with Vincent, who with the help of the Shudrak Clan is able to quickly disperse the Imperial Army in the area by annihilating the military camp at the outskirts of the Buddheim Jungle.


 * Roughly a week later, Vincent, Subaru, Rem, Louis and the Shudrak Clan manage to besiege and conquer Guaral, a fortified city at the edge of Buddheim Jungle under the control of the Second Class General Zikr Osman. Zikr joins their faction, however, they're suddenly attacked by the 2nd Ranking Divine General Arakiya, although they are saved by Priscilla Barielle.
