There's still quite a few gaps in my list, but here's a compilation of what we know of the past in Eorzea. I sadly am severely lacking in: Monk, City-state, Warrior, Paladin and numerous beast tribe lore. So this list is far from being anywhere considered complete.
Please note that a few things in this time line are up to speculation but are noted to have happened at around the listed years by most critics. Hope it helps and if anyone has anything to add, it would greatly help in the further completion of this project.
