Complete Lunar Timeline - Past, Present
and Future.
This timeline we supply you with is based
on all of the games in the series. We have set the date
for LUNAR 1 at '34 based on Ghaleon's diary (screenshot
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7
and 8)
in The Silver Star. We have denoted a 0 based on
this '34 date, and anything before is labeled as B for "before"
and anything labeled as A means "after".
Because Ghaleon's diary just says '34, it probably means
something like '34 as a person during the 1930's would have
stated 1934 as '34. But since it's the only thing we have
as a real date for, it's what we're going to go off of.
We've tried to be as complete as possible,
and bring in information from every possible source. If
you have a documented source that either disagrees with
information here, or adds new events with dates to the list,
please
let us know.
It shold be noted that there are MANY conflicts
in the timeline. For starters, some of the things prior
to The Silver Star are not the same things that happened
prior to Silver Star Story. Also, ages are conflicting in
a number of places. SSS has Alex and Luna a little younger,
whereas in TSS, they were slightly older. Ronfar's age differs
between various artbooks, guides and manuals. Leo's differs
between the manuals and a mention of his age within the
original Eternal Blue. There are a number of other conflicts.
We tried to be as complete as possible with showing the
differences. Therefor, there are a lot of duplicate entries
when it comes to ages.
And speaking of ages, while they are official,
I really have reservations towards some of the ages Kei
Shigema has given to the EB characters. I can understand
Lemina being 16. Hiro being 16 is a little young, in my
opinion, but I can still see it. Jean as 18 I can kinda
see, but I still think that's a bit young. However, 17/19
for Ronfar (depending on which source you go with) is really
too young for me. Ronfar seems quite a bit older than Hiro.
Perhaps 26-34, somewhere in there. Leo's age as "35"
by Ruby sounds quite fine, but the age Kei Shigema gives
him as 18 in the LUNAR I+II artbook seems WAY off to me.
To already be leader of Althena's Guard at 18 just doesn't
sound right. He has an older look to him, and I definately
have problems with that. Same with Mauri as 16. Those three
are the main problems I have. All three should at least
be in their twenties, with Leo preferably being in his early
thirties. However, Kei Shigema is the one who created the
series, and who am I to argue? He's an excellent story developer
who's masterpieced both Lunar and Grandia among other great
works, so his ages are official and are represented below
in the timeline.
It should be noted that the only other LUNAR
timeline on the web is located at The
Shrine to Ghaleon. It's based soley on LUNAR: The
Silver Star, and not on any of the remakes. It's a great
aid for those writing fanfiction based on the original games.
And certainly the Shrine
is the place for LUNAR fanfiction. No other site has ever
or will ever even come close to equaling the sheer magnitude
and quality of the fanfiction at the Shrine.
For that reason alone, the timeline at the Shrine is worth
mentioning.
It should also be noted that many of the
dates pertaining to the Vane Airship manga would not be
possible without Rebecca Capowski's excellent translations
of the manga. You can visit
her site for more Lunar stuff, along with other RPG
translation related things. Another shoutout that needs
to be mentioned is the awesome JunkerHQ.com,
as he provided Lunar text dumps on the site. This made it
much easier to find stuff from Damon's Spire, etc. where
I did not have saved games that could easily be accessed.
He saved me a lot of time with that.
I have also compiled a list
of notes based on the two original games that can be
found here. They are taken from the text dumps at JunkerHQ.

Ages Past...
|
 |
| ?B |
Accord to TSS, Dragons have existed
since the dawn of time. I assume that Althena and the
Dragon Angels have probably existed that long as well,
although no concrete evidence has been found. (TSS
screenshot) |
|
|
|
| ?B |
Mechanical Age. (mentioned only in
TSS, and probably alluding to Ghaleon's Grindery, which
was also a machine, which was obviously evil, as he
attempted to rule the world with it) These machines
ruined their world. No date is given at all, and this
could have even taken place on either LUNAR or the Blue
Star. I put it under the Blue Star, because the history
of LUNAR is already getting extremely complex, but just
know that this could have happened anytime "in
legends past" from events of The Silver Star. The
only timeframe that is given is "In days of legend..."

It is unkown how many survived the
destruction of the Blue Star. It is only mentioned in
the EB remake that Althena destroyed it to seal Zophar.
Althena takes the first Dragonmaster, the Dragons, the
Dragon Angels, and according to the original EB, a select
few (screenshots 1,
2
& 3)
to populate LUNAR. According
to TSS it is the Dragonmaster, using the Dragon
Magic, who transforms LUNAR into a livable planet. Humans,
beastmen, fairies and people of the Magic Race (Vile
Tribe in English translation) must have been among the
races on Lunar. There may have been more, but it is
unknown. |
|
|
|
| ?B |
The move to LUNAR took place "thousands
of years" before Eternal Blue according to the
introduction narration by John Truitt in Lunar 2: Eternal
Blue Complete. If I recall correctly, this narration
is just a spoken translation of what scrolled across
the screen in the import. |
|
|
|
| ?B |
Althena gave the world unlimited 'mana',
which became known as magic, and transformed the world
into a magical place. No timeframe here either. Seems
to be referencing LUNAR though. This is from the Vane
library in TSS. Screenshots: 1,
2,
& 3. |
|
|
|
| ?B |
According to another TSS screen from
the Vane Library, Mana was much greater in this day
than it is in the events of The Silver Star. Screenshot |
|
|
|
| 4967B |
5000 years before TSS, Grissel (Unknown
if this is the same as Grimzol, which is what the cave
near Pao is called in TSS) ruled the Pao prairie. -

Jian Campbell and Gabryel Ryan are born. |
|
|
|
| 980B |
Lucia Collins is born. |
|
|
|
| 979B |
Flora Banks is born. |
|
|
|

Jian Campbell and Lucia Collins meet
and team up as couriers for Gad's Express. |
|

|
 |
|
|
| ?B |
Vane founded by individuals (not Althena)
according to TSS screenshot.
Founders are obviously long since dead by the time Silver
Star's plot is unfolding. Again, no timeframe, but it
had to have been before the Magic Empire came to power,
based on the next few timeslot. |
|
|
|
| 966B |
At this time, a Magic Empire rules
the world. Again, according to TSS. Screenshot. |
|
|
|
| 966B |
The Magic Empire revolted against Althena
and tried to conquer the world. Again, according to
TSS. |
|
|
|
| 966B |
Because of the evil deeds of the Magic
Empire, Althena was saddened, and her tears fell for
7 days, causing a great deluge, purifying the world,
and crushing the Magic Empire. Their ruins cannot even
be found today. This deluge caused Vane to rise to the
sky and become the center of magic for LUNAR. Screenshots
from the TSS Library: 1,
2,
3,
4
and 5.
This has been confirmed as 1000 years prior to LUNAR
1, based on a number of references in TSS. |

|
|
| ?B |
'Cyclone' Zeon and 'Iron Fist' Loka
mentioned as past Dragonmasters. (EB
screenshot) This event could have taken place anytime
after the move to LUNAR from the Blue Star and before
the events of Dyne, Ghaleon, Lemia and Mel as the Four
Heroes. |
|
|
|
| 500B |
Vile Tribe (Magic Race) sealed away
by Althena to the Frontier according to TSS. |
|
|
|
| ~400B |
| Events
of LUNAR Walking
School/Magic
School - (according to Magic School
novel) May not be exactly 400B, as the only official
dates so far have been found to say "a few
hundred years before Silver Star". 400 is
given as a rough estimate. |
|
|
|
|
|
| ?B |
Zyne, Ghaleon's older brother born.
Trying to pinpoint a date is impossible, as it doesn't
give an age for Zyne, and according to the Vain manga,
the "Magic Race" (Vile Tribe) lives a lot
longer than the average human. |
|
|
|
| ?B
- 118B |
In the manga Lunar:
Tale of the Vane Airship, it is mentioned
Meribia having been a big city at this time period.
It also briefly mentions Iluk. So both cities must have
been in existance at this point already. Likely Meribia
had been around for a while as it talks about Meribia
being "a port town", much as it is in LUNAR
1, but it's unknown if Iluk had been around much at
this point. |
|
|
|
| 118B |
Ghaleon (of the Magic Race/Vile Tribe)
born in Vane/Vheen accord to Vheen manga. This is 137
years before Dyne sacrificed himself for Althena's rebirth
in SSS. Possibly the same amount of years since Dyne
and Ghaleon went into the Black Dragon's Cave, however,
it's not specified exactly. |
|
|
|
| ?B
- 118B |
|
|
|
|
| ~74B
- 14B |
"Burg founded by southerners"
according to the Lunar:
Tale of the Vane Airship manga, in the first chapter.
The manga states, when Dyne is about 6-8, that Burg
was a recently "founded by southerners". Dyne was
supposedly about 40 years old prior to the events of LUNAR
1. Depending on what "recent" means, Burg
had likely only been around for 50 years or so before
the events of LUNAR 1. But specifically, it couldn't
have been built after Dyne was born. So the dates to
the left are only estimates. |
|
|
|
| ~14-12B |

Tale of the Vane Airship manga) |
