A chronological timeline of events within the Grishaverse books. Since Leigh Bardugo has provided no calendar, the year of the Ravkan civil war is used as an unofficial "Year 0". BRCW stands for "Before Ravkan civil war".
Pre-trilogy[]
- The territory later known as Ravka is divided into several feudal provinces led by kings who are constantly in conflict with one another.
- Yaromir the Determined unifies the provinces into one kingdom and becomes the first King of Ravka, founding the Lantsov royal line.
- The border wars date back to at least this time. Yaromir founds and prays at Ravka's First Altar, although it is implied the worship of the Saints is older. The Priestguard, Apparat, and first amplifiers are created.
The creation of Morozova's amplifiers[]
- Ilya Morozova creates three amplifiers, initially believed to be the stag, the sea whip and the firebird. In reality, his youngest daughter, whilst being "otkazat'sya", was in actuality the third amplifier — the result of her being resurrected. A hidden trait that carried through her bloodline for generations.
- As a result of bringing his child back to life after Baghra killed her using the Cut, both Morozova and his youngest daughter are wrapped in irons and thrown off a bridge into the water below. However, his daughter survived and continued the bloodline, mothering a line of descendants, the last of which being Malyen Oretsev.
Baghra and Children[]
- Baghra and an unknown Heartrender conceived a child, who she named Aleksander. He would later come to be known as the Darkling for his ability to summon shadows.
- Baghra conceives a powerful sildroher child named Ulla with a visiting Sildroher. She never meets her again.
- Ulla visits the mainland with her companions and meets her brother, later known as the Darkling, where he is studying.
