New page

The events of Gunmetal Olympus primarily take place within a space of roughly half a year, as covered in [[The Persephone Trilogy]] (as of [[The Persephone Effect]]). This page aims to provide a roughly estimated timeline of events and a summarised history of the setting as we currently know it. Many of these dates are approximated and should thus not be taken as absolute immutable fact.

It should go without saying, but '''THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE EVENTS OF THE PERSEPHONE TRILOGY.'''

== The Titanic Era (~100 years before The Hades Calculus) ==
Before the rule of the [[Gods]], [[Elysium]] was ruled by the [[Titans]] for an indeterminate amount of time. They would eventually create the Gods as their ultimate progeny, the first being [[Zeus]] and [[Hades]]. At some point after that, the Gods rebelled in what came to be known as the [[Titanomachy]], slaying and thus overthrowing their progenitors.

== Post-Titanomachy ==
''This section is a placeholder. Various key events from side stories such as [[The Zeus Constant]] notably take place in this time.''

== The Hades Calculus ==
<blockquote>Main article: [[The Hades Calculus]]

See also: [[The Zeus Constant]], [[Flower of the Underworld]]</blockquote>The vast majority of first book in the trilogy takes place over the course of approximately three months. Many of the dates listed here are based on the outline provided by [[Callisto Khan]] in [[The Zeus Constant]], using her "[Time] before the Fall" format, with some added elaborations by [[Amber Jayne]].

'''3 months before the Fall:'''

* Persephone escapes the [[Estate of Wheat]] and flees to the [[Underworld]].
* Segment 279 of [[Wall Caryatid]] is attacked by a colossus.
* 1 day later, the Gods hold council and Hades declares Persephone as the new pilot of [[Styx]].
* 1 week later, the [[Panathenaic]] takes place but is interrupted by the attack on Segment 314.
* 1 day later, Hades brings Persephone to the crypts beneath her estate and proclaims her as her pilot before the Machine Dead.

'''~6 weeks before the Fall:'''

* The ''Paralos'' is sent afield for a month, with the [[Cerberus Cadre]] devoted to its reinforcements.

'''~2 weeks before the Fall:'''

* The ''Paralos'' returns to Elysium after [[Outpost Altis]] is restored.

'''1 week before the Fall:'''

* [[Khrysothemis]] eats Persephone at [[Aphrodite]]'s gala.

'''The Fall:'''

* Battle of Outpost Altis against the [[Harvester]].
* On the same evening, Persephone and Khrysothemis return to the Estate of Wheat and devour Demeter, leading into the opening moments of the next book.
