The following is a timeline of the Stormgate universe. It has been placed together using both relative and absolute dates.

5500 BCE[]

  • The Ubaid period of Mesopotamia begins.[1]

4900 BCE[]

3700 BCE[]

  • The Ubaid period in Mesopotamia ends.[1]

14th century BCE[]

2040[]

  • As Earth's biosphere continues to deteriorate due to human activities, the Sigma Program is established to stave off the Brink.[2]

2060s[]

2070[]

  • The Sigma Program continues to operate, but the Brink has at best been delayed. Earth's biosphere continues to deteriorate.[2]

2097[]

  • Q3: Clive Cullin and Marilyn Sumner meet. The pair begin a relationship.[2]

2100/'01[]

Unspecified[]

The following events occur in the 2100s, but cannot be specified exactly:

  • Sumner and Cullin marry at Sigma Central.[2]
  • Cullin becomes head of Sigma 3. Two years of work culminates in the "Reed Incident."[2]
  • One last test is allowed on Nassar, but the test is a failure, and Cullin is removed from his position in Sigma 3.[2]
  • Months after losing his position in Sigma 3, Preston Swift makes Cullin head of the new Sigma 6 program. Sumner is infected with a polar virus, her condition terminal.[2]
  • Over the following year, Sigma 6 excavates three different sites, each of them containing evidence of the Infernal Host. A dig in the Amazon lasts six months, until they are forced to exit by the Allied States of the Southern Hemisphere.[2]
  • Sigma 4 uncovers the Suppressor beneath the Arctic ice. Two years after excavations began, Sigma Polar is constructed.[2]
  • Under the thrall of the Whisperer, Cullin directs experiments with the Suppressor at Sigma Polar, under the pretense of using it to open a portal to a new world. All experiments fail until Cullin proposes using the energy of a coronal mass ejection. Project Stormgate is initiated.[2]
  • After six months, Project Stormgate is initiated. Under the influence of an unknown party, Lila sabotages the experiment at the cost of her own life.[2]

Note: By this point, approx. ten years have passed since the Amazon dig, placing these events in the early 2110s.

  • One week after the armada's launch, Project Stormgate Mk. II is initiated to capture the energy of a similar CME. A stormgate is opened, unleashing the Infernal Host on Earth.[2]
  • The Infernal invasion of Earth is blunted by humanity,[4] but at terrible cost, with entire regions left decimated by nuclear and/or chemical weapons.[5]

Note: The following events mark the beginning of Stormgate, placing them at some point in the 2130s.

  • Twenty years after the initial Infernal invasion,[6] Earth remains a battlefield between the Host and humanity.[7]

Notes[]

In a post on X, it is hinted that humanity (or at least the Vanguard) started to use a new dating system after the Infernal invasion, with the term "Y20" referring to the current year (presumably referring to 20 years after the Infernal invasion).[1]
