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.
There are four rules to this timeline that, if broken, would completely destroy the timeline:
- Every character is exactly who we think they are. No characters are actually another character in disguise, and no characters are mistaken for a different character of the same name. This also applies to recurring locations and objects.
- No character is a Believer or Ageless who is not already known to be so.
- No character had their mind toyed with to alter their memories and character arc.
- No character has used time travel to appear before or after an event in their character arc.
As such, for the purpose of the timeline actually being a worthwhile endeavour it is assumed that by default every character is who we think they are and has not had their mind toyed with in any way. These rules are applied to every connection made between campaigns as long as there is not a reason to believe otherwise. (For example, the Believer rule does not apply to Nisovin because there is valid reason to believe that any Nisovin appearance may actually be a believer.)
Canon Confirmed Timeline With Explanations
Every timeline is predated by Acts 2 and 3 of The Senate of Deadlantis, as they respectively take place immediately before and immediately after the Birth of Magic, and every other campaign takes place after the Birth of Magic.
Sunswords to Grand Paladin Order (1)
Timeline:
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 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.
- Virgo dies in The Skeleton King and the premise of The Grand Paladin Order is that Virgo is dead and a new grand paladin must take over.
Sunswords to Grand Paladin Order (2)
Timeline:
Explanation:
- 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 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.
- Virgo dies in The Skeleton King and the premise of The Grand Paladin Order is that Virgo is dead and a new grand paladin must take over.
Sunswords to Grand Paladin Order (3)
Timeline:
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 Grand Paladin Order, Dave's death is recognized, placing it after Murder Bros.
Sunswords to Grand Paladin Order (4)
Timeline:
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 The Silvermine Mountains, Xavius Barringster and Elmar die. The Silvermine Mountains collapse, to which prisoners were being taken in both The Sunswords and Porc Hunters. Unter and Gunter have already been saved by Gwyneth's squadron. Kallark already has his funk spirit animal.
- 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:
Explanation:
- In The Zarlin Catacombs, Sergio Fabioso had a copy of the famous Boyfriend Quest, which he gave to Morgana Marie. Boyfriend Quest was being written in Sunswords by the Elf Dave. Because of this, it is canon that Sunswords comes before The Zarlin Catacombs.
- In Unexpected Discovery, a Kobold Bromas appears, who is starting to accept his change into a Kobold. Bromas also met his fate in this campaign. Bromas was changed into a Kobold in The Zarlin Catacombs. With this in mind, we know that Unexpected Discovery takes place after The Sunswords and The Zarlin Catacombs.
- In The Den of Devils the party comes across the skeleton of Bromas who died in Unexpected Discovery. Thus Den of Devils must take place after Unexpected Discovery.
Sunswords to Den of Devils (2)
Timeline:
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.

We therefore know that Woodcarvers takes place after The Silvermine Mountains.
- In Den of Devils, Michael Langstrom appears in the campaign, who is on a vengeful and suicide mission to kill some dragons and whelplings after the death of his son, Taylor Langstrom.

Phineas reboards Virgo's ship after it was shown that he was thrown off in The Skeleton King. Are'ani is already Ageless. One of Krungor's heads has been taken off. Bopen is shown to be wearing Virgo's skull.
- Act 4 of The Senate of Deadlantis takes place after Act 1 because Bopen has learned of Phineas's Darkvision powers and taken him to Deadlantis. However, the period of time for which it takes Bopen to travel to Deadlantis is not specified.

Sunswords to Okagnoma Guild Hall
Timeline:
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.
Sunswords to Buckeroos
Timeline:
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.

- 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.
Tower of Ultimate Wizardry to Den of Devils
Timeline:
Explanation:
- In The Zarlin Catacombs, Morgana Marie dies, placing it after The Tower of Ultimate Wizardry: Chapter One.
- In Unexpected Discovery, a Kobold Bromas appears, who is starting to accept his change into a Kobold. Bromas also met his fate in this campaign. Bromas was changed into a Kobold in The Zarlin Catacombs. With this in mind, we know that Unexpected Discovery takes place after The Sunswords, The Tower of Ultimate Wizardry: Chapter One, and The Zarlin Catacombs.
- In The Den of Devils the party comes across the skeleton of Bromas who died in Unexpected Discovery. Thus Den of Devils must take place after Unexpected Discovery.
Band of Thieves to Den of Devils

Explanation:
- In Den of Devils, Gracias dies.
Band of Thieves to Buckeroos
Timeline:
Explanation:
- In Murder Bros, Dave is killed, placing the campaign after his appearance in Band of Thieves.

Band of Thieves to Grand Paladin Order
Timeline:
Explanation:
- In Murder Bros, Dave is killed, placing the campaign after his appearance in Band of Thieves.
- In Grand Paladin Order, Dave's death is recognized, placing it after Murder Bros.
Fall of Dundinborough to Grand Paladin Order
Timeline:
Explanation:
- The Fall of Dundinborough is set before The Death of Virgo because Cecilia Granger is still alive, but is dead in The Death of Virgo.
- 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.
- Virgo Sunsword dies in The Skeleton King, placing it after all of his appearances to date. Because this campaign happens at the same time as The New Crew, this also places The New Crew after The Death of Virgo and The Fall of Dundinborough.
- The premise of Grand Paladin Order is that Virgo is dead and a new grand paladin must take over.
Fall of Dundinborough to Senate of Deadlantis
Timeline:
- The Fall of Dundinborough
- The Death of Virgo
- The New Crew
- The Skeleton King

Explanation:
- The Fall of Dundinborough is set before The Death of Virgo because Cecilia Granger is still alive, but is dead in The Death of Virgo.
- 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.

Guild of Explorers to Den of Devils
Timeline:
Explanation:
- In the Guild of Explorers Duke Daring is setting off to find the Scrolls of the Sandbold. In Den of Devils it is referenced by himself and by Raynel that he failed this quest and never acquired the scrolls.
Redundant connections
The following connections can be made between campaigns, but have no impact on the timeline as there are campaigns that are confirmed to take place in between the campaigns being connected. This information may be useful in case any of the information listed above is retconned or proven wrong.
- As mentioned, Senate of Deadlantis Acts 2 and 3 predate every single campaign.
- In The Sunswords, Phineas Barringster is not yet a master cabalist, and has not yet gone insane. Bob is still a part of Gwyneth's squadron. Therefore, Sunswords predates The New Crew, The Skeleton King, and The Senate of Deadlantis Act 1.
- In The Skeleton King, Virgo Sunsword dies. In The Grand Paladin Order, Virgo's death triggers the need for a new Grand Paladin. In The Senate of Deadlantis Acts 1 and 4, Bopen is seen with Virgo's skull. Therefore, Skeleton King, Grand Paladin Order, and Senate of Deadlantis Acts 1 and 4 all take places after The Fall of Dundinborough, The Death of Virgo, and The New Crew.
- In The Skeleton King, The Bocoe has already been taken over by Virgo Sunsword. Therefore, Skeleton King takes place after Jewel of the Dingo Isles.
- In The Senate of Deadlantis, Octivias dies. The Bocoe had already been taken over and Merci's crew were taken prisoner. Therefore, Senate of Deadlantis takes place after Jewel of the Dingo Isles and The New Crew.
- In Murder Bros, Dave dies. Therefore, Murder Bros takes place after The Sunswords.
- In The Silvermine Mountains, Xavius dies. Unter has already been saved from the burning house. Kallark has his Funk spirit animal, Carlos. Therefore, Silvermine Mountains take place after The Sunswords.
- In The Grand Paladin Order, the Silvermine Mountains have already collapsed and Golestandt has been released. Dave's death is acknowledged. Quinn Vemtari has a copy of Boyfriend Quest. Therefore, Grand Paladin Order takes place after Band of Thieves, The Sunswords, Porc Hunters, and The Silvermine Mountains.
- In Den of Devils, Bromas's dead body is found. Therefore, Den of Devils takes place after Zarlin Catacombs.
- Because Okagnoma Guild Hall takes place at the same time and slightly after The Blood Snake Queen, any campaigns that predate Blood Snake Queen must predate Okagnoma Guild Hall, and any campaigns that may take place after Okagnoma Guild Hall must take place after Blood Snake Queen.
Unconnected campaigns
There is no information that links The Unseen Rogues, Kobold Headhunters, Battle of the Bards, or The Cobblers to any other campaign in the timeline other than Acts 2 and 3 of The Senate of Deadlantis.
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?
- All campaigns other than The Many Gobos of Pat
- All character backstories other than those of The Many Gobos of Pat
- All Coe's Quest episodes
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
- Conversations during Character Creation
- 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.
Timeline Placement of Guild of Explorers
- In Den of Devils, Raynel and Duke Daring mention how he failed to acquire the Scrolls of the Sandbolds, which is what he was planning to do in Guild of Explorers. One may argue that because this is a fact spoken by a character, it does not make it true. However, Duke Daring had the attribute Famous, which allows the Game Master and Players to make up stories about Duke Daring, and they become fact. Therefore, this can be used to prove that Guild of Explorers predates Den of Devils.
Timeline 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.
Characters appearing in multiple campaigns
- While the existence of certain characters in more than one campaign may possibly create a definitive connection because of events that transpire in said campaigns (Such as The Tower of Ultimate Wizardry: Chapter One taking place before Zarlin Catacombs due to Morgana appearing in both and dying in the latter), there are many instances of characters making multiple appearances without any information to suggest that one appearance must come after the other. Examples include:
- Dave in Band of Thieves and The Sunswords/Porc Hunters.
- Gwyneth Sunsword in Band of Thieves and other linked appearances of Gwyneth.
- Squinks in Band of Thieves and The Unseen Rogues.
- Neena Brando and Romulus in The Unseen Rogues and Kobold Headhunters. (See Timeline Placement of Kobold Headhunters above.)
- Fenrus in Band of Thieves and The New Crew.
- Alessa Stonemason in Woodcarvers/The Grand Paladin Order and Okagnoma Guild Hall.
- Bumbley in Band of Thieves and the Believer who was summoned in Okagnoma Guild Hall.
- Dob in The Blood Snake Queen and Murder Bros.
- Reginald Barringster III in The Death of Virgo and The Cobblers. (See Placement of The Cobblers and The Death of Virgo above.)
- Galen Sunsword in Buckeroos and The Fall of Dundinborough/The Grand Paladin Order.
- Slippery Knuckles Malone, Belladona von Feingart, and Emit Crank in The Blood Snake Queen and Den of Devils.
- Jo Krysstal in Jewel of the Dingo Isles/The New Crew and the Believer who appeared in Den of Devils.
- Sergio Fabioso in Zarlin Catacombs and The Grand Paladin Order.
- Jenathorn Barringster in The Fall of Dundinborough and the time when Phineas Barringster learned Darkvision, as mentioned in The Senate of Deadlantis.
- Phineas Barringster and Kinney Boots in Coe's Quest and their other linked appearances.
- Nisovin in any of his various appearances.
Lieutenant Surge
- The mace Lieutenant Surge, held by Ca-rell and Kinney Boots is not a one-of-a-kind weapon. It is merely a mace enchanted with lightning.
Dreamweaver Visions
- In The Cobblers and The Skeleton King, Boris Cobbler and Are'ani have visions of the past and future. However, these visions are not canon. There are many ways in which the characters could be incorrectly interpreting the events of the vision or the characters within.
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.
