Eberron Timeline

Dragons rediscover the Prophecy and rise from their primitive state to oppose their demonic overlords, allying with other draconic species, including the couatls. The common races, still in primitive states, hide from the godlike combatants and find a way to survive.

Dragons and dragonborn come to Q'barra to guard Haka'torvhak.

The quori invade Xen’drik through a gate that connects Eberron to Dal Quor, the Plane of Dreams. After years of battle, the giants call upon the magic of the dragons to destroy the planar gate. This act results in a cataclysm that shakes Xen’drik to its core and plunges large chunks of the continent beneath the sea. The physical connection to Dal Quor is severed, perhaps forever.

The Phiarlan spread the word of the elven prophet Aeren, gathering elves to flee Xen'drik for the sub-continent that would become known as Aerenal. The drow remain behind in Xen'drik and go into hiding.

The Undying Court appears in Aerenal. First skirmish between the elves and the dragons, which sets a pattern of long periods of peace punctuated by short, devastating battles every few hundred years.

The dragon Vvaraak, in response to a portion of The Prophecy she had been studying, begins teaching the orcs druidic magic. These orcs become the first Gatekeeper druids.

The dragonborn returned to Haka'torvhak when Rhashaak faltered and the region started to fall to Masvirik's influence.

Tairnadal elves from Northern Aerenal establish a colony in what is now present-day Valenar. The elves come into conflict with the Dhakaani. The elves abandon the colony when another clash with the dragons threatens Aerenal.

King Breggor of the nation of Wroat orders the city of Shaarat destroyed due to the descendants of Malleon refusing to bow to his authority.
