Ah, I see. That was just a simple example I plucked out of my head, but there were many such occasions where I found myself wondering such things, and I am the sort to talk to the various NPCs most people would walk by. I'm slowly working my through that awesome gamerescape link though

Gamer escape article was a great read. Now we just need a compilation of events and civilizations of past astral and umbral eras.

During 1.0 I compiled many dates/eras into an Eorzean Timeline and am continuing onward with 2.0. But yeah I'd love for an official timeline, but we have lots of storylines to go before all the Astral/Umbral Eras are explained.
