Rob, I want to use an interrupt. Warning! The following page contains spoilers for the most recent campaign! Oh no!


The Timeline of URealms Live is constantly changing as new campaigns create connections between stories. The following is the confirmed canon timeline of the series so far.

One could completely debunk the entirely timeline with two simple facts:

  1. Any character could be a believer at any time (unless they admit they could be or are frozen in time)
  2. Any character could have had their mind toyed with to alter their memories and character arc

As such, for the purpose of the timeline actually being a worthwhile endeavour it is assumed that by default a character is not a believer and has not had their mind toyed with in any way. These assumptions work on the basis of innocent until proven guilty.

Canon Confirmed Timeline With Explanations

Sunswords to Grand Paladin Order

Timeline:

  1. The Sunswords
  2. Porc Hunters
  3. The Jewel of the Dingo Isles
  4. The New Crew
  5. The Skeleton King
  6. Grand Paladin Order

OR:

  1. The Sunswords
  2. The Jewel of the Dingo Isles
  3. Porc Hunters
  4. The New Crew
  5. The Skeleton King
  6. Grand Paladin Order


Explanation:

  • In The Sunswords, Phineas has yet to join Theta Squad or become a master Cabalist. He is still in training and knows no Cabalist skills. In Porc Hunters, Phineas has become all of this and joins Theta Squad. This confirms that Sunswords predates Porc Hunters. The time between the two campaigns is likely very short, as Phineas is a prepubescent child in both and in Sunswords he has already been referred to as a young adult so he is likely around 10 to 12 in human years.
  • In The Sunswords, Jakelad is still alive. In The Jewel of the Dingo Isles, he is killed by Kinney Boots. This confirms that Sunswords predates The Jewel of the Dingo Isles.
  • In The New Crew, Kinney Boots leaves the crew, Jo Krysstal is killed, and most of the remaining crew (including Captain Merci and first mate McCoy) are sent to the Silvermine Mountains. McCoy also starts The New Crew with his tentacle arm. Because of this, we know that The New Crew takes place after The Jewel of the Dingo Isles.
  • In The New Crew, Phineas joins the crew. This time, he has his Cabalist powers and has begun to go insane from repeatedly using Blanket of Darkness on himself. Because of this, we know that The New Crew must take place after Porc Hunters.
  • In The Skeleton King, an illusory messenger of Maelstrom says he's about to join a New Crew, and some time after, Bopen's crew runs into Virgo Sunsword's ship with Merci's crew in the hull of the ship and Phineas Barringster onboard, placing The Skeleton King as happening around the same time as The New Crew, beginning before it and ending after it.
  • It's unknown if Kinney Boots had Lieutenant Surge in The New Crew, so it's unknown if she got it after Porc Hunters or lost it before Porc Hunters. Either timeline is plausible.
  • Virgo dies in The Skeleton King and the premise of Grand Paladin Order is that Virgo is dead and a new grand paladin must take over.

Sunswords to Grand Paladin Order

Timeline:

  1. The Sunswords
  2. Porc Hunters
  3. Murder Bros
  4. Buckeroos
  5. Grand Paladin Order

Explanation:

  • In The Sunswords, Phineas has yet to join Theta Squad or become a master Cabalist. He is still in training and knows no Cabalist skills. In Porc Hunters, Phineas has become all of this and joins Theta Squad. This confirms that Sunswords predates Porc Hunters. The time between the two campaigns is likely only a few months or years as Phineas is a prepubescent child in both and in Sunswords he has already been referred to as a young adult so he is likely around 10 to 12 in human years.
  • In Murder Bros, Dave is killed while taking Chimera to the Silvermine Mountains, placing the campaign after his appearance in Porc Hunters and before the destruction of the Silvermine Mountains in The Silvermine Mountains.
  • In Buckeroos, the town of Silverflats had already been rampaged through by the Murder Bros, and the train had already derailed, with the Murder Bros not far from the scene and Sallazar Thornblade referencing multiple events in the Murder Bros campaign, placing it a short amount of time after Murder Bros.
  • Gwyneth knows about Dave's death, therefore placing Grand Paladin Order after Buckeroos.


The Silvermine Mountains to Den of Devils

Timeline:

  1. The Silvermine Mountains
  2. Woodcarvers
  3. Den of Devils

Explanation:

The Silvermine Mountains to Grand Paladin Order

Timeline:

  1. The Silvermine Mountains
  2. Woodcarvers
  3. Grand Paladin Order

Explanation:

  • In Woodcarvers, Gwyneth Sunsword and Kallark appear to the Woodcarvers, telling them that they have been following the trail of Golestandt for two days, fighting the mindless Ageless creatures that it has been creating. We therefore know that Woodcarvers takes place after The Silvermine Mountains.
  • The survivors of the crew from Woodcarvers are with Gwyneth and Kallark in the Grand Paladin Order.


Sunswords to Den of Devils (1)

Timeline:

  1. The Sunswords
  2. Porc Hunters
  3. The Jewel of the Dingo Isles
  4. Den of Devils

OR:

  1. The Sunswords
  2. The Jewel of the Dingo Isles
  3. Porc Hunters
  4. Den of Devils

Explanation:

  • In The Sunswords, Phineas has yet to join Theta Squad or become a master Cabalist. He is still in training and knows no Cabalist skills. In Porc Hunters, Phineas has become all of this and joins Theta Squad. This confirms that Sunswords predates Porc Hunters. The time between the two campaigns is likely very short, as Phineas is a prepubescent child in both and in Sunswords he has already been referred to as a young adult so he is likely around 10 to 12 in human years.
  • In The Sunswords, Jakelad is still alive. In The Jewel of the Dingo Isles, he is killed by Kinney Boots. This confirms that Sunswords predates The Jewel of the Dingo Isles.
  • In Den of Devils Nisovin refers to sending Jo Krysstal on a quest to find The Jewel of the Dingo Isles. Thus Den of Devils must take place after The Jewel of the Dingo Isles.
  • It's unknown if Kinney Boots had Lieutenant Surge in The New Crew, so it's unknown if she got it after Porc Hunters or lost it before Porc Hunters. Either timeline is plausible.

Sunswords to Den of Devils (2)

Timeline:

  1. The Sunswords
  2. The Tower of Ultimate Wizardry: Chapter One
  3. The Zarlin Catacombs
  4. Unexpected Discovery
  5. Den of Devils

Explanation:

Sunswords to Okagnoma Guild Hall

Timeline:

  1. The Sunswords
  2. The Blood Snake Queen
  3. Okagnoma Guild Hall

Explanation:

  • In Okagnoma Guild Hall, multiple characters reference Dave's book, Boyfriend Quest. As it was still being written in The Sunswords, Okagnoma Guild Hall must come after that.
  • In Okagnoma Guild Hall, a few moments after the group of students teleport into the cave, the mercenary group from The Blood Snake Queen commences their tower manoeuvre, ultimately failing before they retreat. With this information, we know that the third encounter of Okagnoma Guild Hall happens during the final encounter of The Blood Snake Queen.

Band of Thieves to Den of Devils

Timeline:

  1. Band of Thieves
  2. Den of Devils

Explanation:

  • Gracias is in Band of Thieves. Gracias dies in Den of Devils, thus Den of Devils must take place after Band of Thieves.

Points of Interest

The following are things to keep in mind when changing the timeline or adding theories to the section below.

What is Canon?

What is Not Canon?

  • Anything said outside a campaign or Coe's Quest episode, by Rob, a player or otherwise
  • The Many Gobos of Pat
  • Things that have been retconned (usually in a campaign immediately after they happen)
  • Lords of Minecraft
  • DvZ
  • Unforgotten Realms
  • Unforgotten Quest

Timeline Placement of Band of Thieves

  • The possibility of something happening is not the same as something happening. For example, K4 could have appeared in The Unseen Rogues instead of Squinks. However, he did not, and therefore his potential appearance has no bearing on canon.
  • Though it was at first teased that Porc Hunters might take place after Band of Thieves when it was mentioned that the Kobold that Dave was escorting was connected to a band of thieves that attacked the Sunswords, this was just to mislead the audience. The prisoner was actually Chimera, not Philhipé, and he was connected to the Murder Bros, not Yumi's band of thieves.

Timeline Placement of Kobold Headhunters

  • In the Silvermine Mountains campaign, Gwyneth Sunsword mentioned that the elves had done some work in Karazzim in the past. However, this comment has no real bearing on the timeline placement of Kobold Headhunters, and just means that the elves influenced the town at some point.
  • Since it's unclear how the Vampire Locket works, it's also unclear if Kobold Headhunters and Unseen Rogues happen at the same time or not.
    • In The Skeleton King, a vision shows Romulus leaving to find Neena Brando, implying that she is alive and possibly in the same time as Romulus. This may not mean that the campaigns happen simultaneously, but may instead mean that they happen within a short enough time of eachother that both characters are alive at the same time.

Pot Puppies

  • Pot puppies lives for around a year, this is canon [1], however there is the possibility that a pot puppy could eat dragon scales and therefore live longer. Additionally note that we do not know how long a year is in URealms and so we cannot use pot puppies to measure the aging of characters other than the number attached to their age.

Placement of The Cobblers and The Death of Virgo

  • It has been previously stated on the timeline that: "In The Cobblers, Reginald Barringster III has his mind made blank by Borris Cobbler" This has been asserted to prove that The Cobblers is before The Death of Virgo with the logic that with his mind blank Reginald Barringster III could have his mind taken over by legion, resulting in him betraying the party in The Death of Virgo. However it is equally possible that his mind was already taken over by legion and that was cleared from his mind or even that his mind was never taken over by legion in the first place.

The Word of Rob

  • Not everything that Rob says is automatically the case for the timeline. If Rob asserts something to be the case, but when reason and logic is applied and it does not make sense, then it is not the case. Rob is only human, he can make mistakes. Case in point: The Cobblers and The Death of Virgo placement and this. Also the word of Rob is still under the rule that only things said in campaigns and Coe's Quest are canon.
  • One example of Word of Rob is this (rough) timeline shown in the Den of Devils Behind the Scenes video. While it gives players a generally good idea of what happens when, it has a few flaws, and isn't an official timeline.
  • While Word of Rob is generally considered non-canon, it can sometimes affect how canon is viewed. In one of Rob's Behind the Scenes videos, he mentioned that any time the players sing "Fuck the Kobolds", it has no bearing on the timeline placement, since it's just the go-to song that the players will sing as an in-joke without regard for the timeline. As such, it is generally not a good idea to use that song as proof for timeline placement.
