This article is a disambiguation page for Timeline

The following is a list of links to pages that might share the same title.
Please follow one of the disambiguation links below or search to find the page you were looking for if it is not listed. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.

Timelines of Quest for Glory series from official sources. Like many of Sierra's series, Quest for Glory's internal timeline is not entirely consistent. Below are all the variations of the timeline based various official sources.

Background

In the Coles minds especially Lori's the timeline doesn't seem to be that important to them, if it gets in the way of a good story. She is willing to reinvent and change it for each game if she feels like its important. This applies to even stories of characters and personalities and characterizations, etc,

On general details concerning 'time' and chronology in the series:

I do have documents on this stuff, but I mostly just write this stuff from memory, reinventing it as I go along. So yes, nothing is really locked in stone. The past events of the game reflect the effect they have on the current games, and so evolve as the needs of the story dictate.

Time in Gloriana is like Schrodinger's Cat, nothing is definite until the player does something. -Lori Cole

This being the case (see Convergence concept and Force wave concept for even more information), this wiki has attempted to follow the changes and history of the chronology as best as possible for each generation of Gloriana's universe. From the older games, to QFG4, and now to Hero-U. These are generally treated as alternate timeline interpretations, and there can be no 'true timeline' as long as the Coles keep reinventing the world, and evolving it

That being the case this wiki splits older material into the Original Canon, with its single published timeline, and the two interpretations of the timeline derived from that timeline and other material before it. Secondly Alternate Canon which relates to materials and changes made after the last Quest for Glory was released up to the releases of Hero-U. If Activision creates it's own sequel, spinoff, or reboot that will also be taken into consideration on the list of timelines (either as a continuation of the original canon chronologies, or as a total reboot canon if that is the case).

List of Timelines

None of these timelines should be considered any more or less relevant than any other alternative timeline (with exception of Hero-U timeline which represents the Alternate Canon spiritual successor to the original series but not offically published by Sierra/Activisionl).

Each represents the various interpretations of the story as described by references in the games and/or other official material (be they from retcons or descrepencies by the game producers). The QFG4 hint book time line is the only timeline that was officially printed, however it does not include dates or time between events.

Original Canon

Timelines of the original Quest For Glory series comprising the Original Canon.

Alternate Canon

Timeline related to Cole's stories written after the release of Quest For Glory 5, which exist outside of Quest For Glory Proper, and make up the background to Hero-U.


Comparing the Original Timelines

This section combines all alternate dates given in the Mordavia History of Events: A Time Line, Long timeline, the Short timeline, TASG timeline and the SIA timeline to compare where certain events in the series diverge.

This timeline has been adjusted for historical dating (year 1) as opposed to astronomical dating (year 0).

Notes

  • An offhand mark in QFG1VGA suggests that QFG1 takes place in 8 Zillion BC. But strangely there are references to times and periods that would be closer to 20th century in earth history.
  • As Corey Cole points out that at least in original intent, there was no idea of Time Travel considered, and that the stories were intended to take in a linear fashion over an unspecified amount of time (suggesting that not even the "one year" chronology as shown in the short timeline wasn't specifically set in stone) and that the series may take place over longer than a year;
Re time travel - If the designers count when it comes to canon, I can say that no time travel was intended. As far as we're concerned, the five-game Quest for Glory series takes place in linear order, with an unspecified amount of time between each pair of games. The Hero does not necessarily arrive immediately in the next adventure location.
The only possible ambiguity is the question of how the Dark Master's summoning spell worked. That is not well defined, so time or alternate-universe travel is possible. If so, Erasmus's spell that transports the Hero to Silmaria might have "cleaned up" the dimensional side-effects of the Dark Master's spell.[67]

Likewise Lori has said this about the timeline that she doesn't lock all the dates in stone (and it gets reinvented as they go along):

I do have documents on this stuff, but I mostly just write this stuff from memory, reinventing it as I go along. So yes, nothing is really locked in stone. The past events of the game reflect the effect they have on the current games, and so evolve as the needs of the story dictate.-Lori Cole
  • The Authorized guide puts the events of QFG1 over the course of about 9 days (in both the novel and the hintbook section).
  • The Authorized guide places events of QFG2 over about 29 days (technically 30, as last events of the game occur on day 30).
  • The Authorized guide puts the events of QFG3 over the course of about 24 days in both the novel and the hintbook section.
  • The novel for QFG4 places the events over the course of about 11 days (not counting the two weeks said to take place in the game's epilogue).
  • Gnome's Land Inn is payed up for a month, perhaps suggesting that QFG5 takes place over the course of at least a month. Though the game can be extended for much longer; I.E. to max up the RIP spell takes almost a years worth of days to max it out (although it does bug out some of the quests). Gnome Ann also has a comment about weaseling out of paying the next month's rent, suggesting that Erasmus only covered the first month's rent. Another line towards the end of the game if the player tries to escape the dragon, the narrator states that the 60 day money warranty on the magic magnets has run out moments before. This suggests that the game takes place over 60 days at least from when the magnets are first bought (although the game could be beaten with more or less days than that).
  • According to a reference in QFG1VGA, the game takes place around April 11 (April 12 on a leap year). It is said that there are 250 shopping days left until Christmas. This would place it in mid-spring on the astronomical calendar. According to the Quest for Glory Authorized Guide, the events of the game take place over nine days, this means the end of the game takes place about April 20 (or April 21). The Hero left Willowsby about one month before the game about early part of March. This means that over a month would have to pass between the end of QFG1 and QFG2 for it to be early summer in that game (this would place QFG2 in the month of June approximately). QFG3 begins three months later, which would actually place it approximately September (which is actually an autumn month). The events of QFG3 takes place over the course of about 30 days, placing it near the end of September.
  • On the other hand one reference made during a death scene in QFG1VGA could imply that the game takes place in January; Molasses in January.
  • According to the Quest for Glory Authorized guide, the trip from Spielburg to Shapeir was long, taking many days and nights. Several more days passed in which the Katta Tail Inn was setup, and the game began. The total amount of time is unclear, but seem to be about a week or two. It also mentions that several days had passed between the moment they first entered Shapeir and "Day 1" in the game in which they set up the Katta's Tail Inn.
  • Depending on the timeline the Hero takes a few weeks or years to reach Mordavia. Based on information in HERO Journal, QFG4 takes place approximately in October, or November (as it is the Hallowe'en issue). However, in the game this issue is shown to be have been published several years before the game (as an old copy is found inside the Adventurer's Guild, and the guild is said to have been abandoned for years since the swamp blocked the valley).
  • QFG4 takes place over the course about a month (11 days + 2 weeks). As it is Winter when he reaches Silmaria, it may suggest that the events of QFG4 occured in November.
  • QFG3 is said to take place during mid-summer which suggests its following after Shapeir season wise (which was set during early summer), however it takes place three months after QFG2 which would place it into early fall (in northern hemisphere reckoning). Tarna is closer to Egypt suggesting it is still in the northern hemisphere (thus still associated with the northern seasons). So there is somewhat of an inconsistency in the dates.
  • Rakeesh had time to age between QFG3 and QFG5 suggesting much time had passed, supporting the extended QFG4 timeline.[68]
  • Shameen and Sheema left for Spielburg between 1 and 3 years before QFG1/2 according to references in QFG1EGA, and QFG2. However, the reference to three years was removed in the remake.
  • A grave stone in the loading screen for QFG4, has three numbers from a date or three letters from a name; _171 or ISI
  • Kokeeno was a soldier of Silmaria since he was sixteen.
  • An Forda has a hubcapg from a 'fifty-seven chevy'. A car built in 1957. One of the only year dates mentioned in the series.
  • Minos was an advisor to the king for a year or so.[69]
  • Sagittarius rises early in QFG5 (this would suggest that date is somewhere between November and January depending on astrology system he is using)[70].
  • In 47 years the money tree will bloom.[71]
  • The Swim Manual was copyrighted one year before QFG5.
  • The period of when Ad Avis came to Mordavia depending on various accounts may have occured before Tanya was kidnapped (QFG4 Hintbook, Boris and Olga), or may have occured after she was kidnapped (from her POV).
  • According to an issue of InterAction Tanya is six years old.
  • There are some partially readable year dates on at least one head stone in QFG4's character select screen (On one you can only make out partial number that looks like '171' )
