BCE: Before Common Era
CE: Common Era (AKA AD)
CY: Caligo Year



2 Billion BCE

• The 'deities' worshiped by Caligoans known as the Provectus discover planet Earth and take an interest in the planet, seeing its potential for life, and decide to watch it closely. Complex cells evolve.

1 Billion BCE

• Multi-cellular organisms evolve on Earth. The Provectus take samples with them to use in not only their studies, but also their experiments, releasing the cellular life on other planets within the Milky Way Galaxy to observe how they evolve in other settings.

2.5 Million BCE

• The genus Homo evolves naturally on Earth from Great Apes/Hominidae. The Provectus target this species specifically for their observation and studying, though they gradually become aware that, in order to set these apes apart from other mammals, they would need to interfere on a genetic level eventually.

2.3 Million BCE

• The Provectus begin abducting mass individuals of the Homo genus and begin making explosive changes with their DNA, altering and mutating it, enhancing their evolution in addition to creating a "message in a bottle" inside their DNA itself, an unknown message that would live on forever in humans for future generations to one day decrypt.

500,000 BCE

• The Provectus "seed" Earth, speeding up the process of evolution in primates, as future Homo generations are born with the superior DNA given to their ancestors by the Provectus. The aliens thus, in essence, create humanity and the only sentient/self-aware species on Earth. Homo sapiens as a species are born.

15,000 BCE

• The Provectus bestow select humans in different parts of the world with advanced knowledge and technology.

3025 BCE

• Finding a suitable isolated area for their ultimate experiment on Earth, the Provectus relocate thousands of humans from across the world and place them on the island named Caligo inside what is later known as the Bermuda Triangle. They befriend the islanders and share their technology with them.

2975 BCE / 0 CY

• The Machine of Mass Destruction begins being built by Caligoans. In hopes of appeasing the islanders, the Provectus give them the Gift of Shades. The construction of the Machine of Mass Destruction ceases, and Caligo year 0 begins.

2970 BCE / 5 CY

• The legendary Illuminor twins, Lux and Noxus, are born.

2965 BCE / 10 CY

• Caligoan scientists, designers, engineers, and architects renew work on the Machine of Mass Destruction. Those working on it, taking every precaution to be covert and to try to keep their intention hidden from the 'gods,' refer to the undertaking as Project Spearhead.

2955 BCE / 20 CY

• At only age 15 and already considered a child prodigy, Noxus becomes an engineer for the Machine of Mass Destruction. Meanwhile, his brother Lux begins communing with the 'gods'/Provectus through his dreams and relays this information to the Caligoans.

2948 BCE / 27 CY

• Noxus becomes a key leader in the advancement of the Machine of Mass Destruction project. Lux begins to have suspicions of his brother's actions and discovers that the Machine is being rebuilt. He spends some time in isolation, deciding what to do -- whether to keep quiet for the sake of not wanting conflict with his own brother, or to expose them by informing the 'gods' of their treachery.

2947 BCE / 28 CY

• Lux gathers more intel on "Project Spearhead" and ends up sharing everything he knows with the 'gods.'

2945 BCE / 30 CY

• The 'gods'/Provectus destroy all those who worked on the Machine or were involved with it somehow, killing a mass amount of the Caligoan population in hopes of rebuilding from the ashes a new and less violent generation. It is unknown if Noxus lives through it, but rumors tell that he does. Lux, devastated by his brother's death and needing time alone to reflect, disappears from history seemingly forever.

1962 CE / 4937 CY

• Blue Trinity, a secret branch of the United States government, forms to investigate the unexplained phenomena revolving around the Bermuda Triangle.

1998 CE / 4973 CY

• Blue Trinity discovers Caligo, but all Blue Trinity agents who made the journey perish.

2000 CE / 4975 CY

• A second Blue Trinity team is dispatched to the island and is the first successful one to make a safe return trip, bringing with them artifacts, information, and data.

2010 CE / 4985 CY

• Blue Trinity learns of the Machine of Mass Destruction and begin deploying teams to locate and excavate it in order to retrieve it, study it, and eventually use it themselves.

2025 CE / 5000 CY

• Having built a secret army to use for a full-scale invasion, Blue Trinity declares war on Caligo.

2030 CE / 5005 CY

• Blue Trinity is defeated in what the Caligoans call the Outsiders' War. Their loss is due to many factors, including the natural storms and dangers surrounding the island, the Caligoan's technology, the Caligoans being immortal so long as their Shade survives, and their own underestimating.

2033 CE / 5008 CY

• Gangs start forming around Caligo made up mostly of Caligoans who lost their Shades during the war, though some members had lost their Shades for other varying reasons and simply found they related to the rest in their jealousy and anger. Soulless and Shadeless, the biggest and most well-known of these crime syndicates, is formed.

2040 CE / 5015 CY

• Xenox Delpherok, a Provectus, AKA 'god,' is discovered on the island, having been left behind (perhaps purposefully as part of their experiment) by his kind thousands of years ago and has lived in a self-constructed underwater shelter just off the shore near the capital Phasmoenia.
