Notes

• Where the wiki records two dates for one event (the Awakening's first mana storm, the Euro-War I invasion, Humanis Policlub's founding), the Sixth World Almanac date is used.
• The wiki's 2020 entries largely duplicate 2006 and are omitted except Aden's destruction of Tehran.
• Thread colors are editorial: Dunkelzahn's presidency sits under Magic & dragons, the Crash of '29 under Matrix & tech.
