This fantasy world timeline template charts the rise, fall, and rebirth of a kingdom using a fully custom calendar. Instead of Gregorian dates, events are placed by era and year — "Age of Kings, Year 150" — so your invented history sorts and spaces correctly without any workarounds.
Dynasties, wars, famines, and treaties are linked by cause and effect, turning a pile of lore into a chain a reader can actually follow.

5 events across 3 eras, ready to edit.
Age of Kings

Who crowned the first king, what opposition had to be crushed first, and what promises were made to secure the loyalty of nobles and commoners alike? - The Great Famine Year 150 Crisis

Civil war and upheaval.
- Spark of Rebellion Year 1 Conflict
What was the final grievance that lit the fire? Describe the incident — a tax, an execution, a broken promise — that turned discontent into open revolt. - Siege of the Capital Year 25 War
How long did the siege last, what tactics did each side employ, and how did the city's people endure? Who betrayed whom, and what finally broke the stalemate?
Era of Rebuilding
A new order emerges.
- Treaty of the Guilds Year 1 Politics
Who brokered the peace, and at what cost? Describe what power the guilds gained, what the crown surrendered, and what the new order promised that the old one never could.
