A Timeline of events:

Divisions of the game are taken from the detailed log index.

1. The Before Times, from before the creation of the local multiverse (as we know it) to Chaos declaring their most recent war with Amber.
2. Pattern Fall, the events of the first series of Amber books … until we diverge at the end of Courts of Chaos, which marks the start of the game.
3. The early days of the game, documented by Malachi’s Journals and some game logs. This period includes rebuilding from Pattern Fall, white statues appearing across reality, and Chaos filling with demons. This time is also known as “Malachi and the color-coded scary little girls”.
4. Oberon’s infamous Locked Room Party, ending after Julian invades Arden.
5. Cross-reality hopping, when people discovered cracks in reality that led to other multiverses like the Badgerverse, the Hamsterverse, Pride’s Folly, and Hillbilly Amber. Many of the discovered realities were alternate Amberverses.
6. Cobalteans arrive in Chaos, Cathryne’s Pattern Party, confronting Toram as the Big Bad.
7. Jenoir’s elevation to head of the Mage’s Guild of Chaos.
8. A party, and Amber’s Formal Court run by Queen Clarissa and Queen Paulette. Malachi is acknowledged as Regent for the King of Amber. Formal court ends rapidly when Evil Benedict invades Amber.
9. War in Chaos ends.
10. Shiryu threatens to reboot reality if Gwen is not dealt with, and a large force of allies invades Pride’s Folly for a last attempt to save the multiverse from long-ignored plot. A diversionary force invades Darkover on what most think is a suicide mission. Gwen is defeated, for the second time. Only Princess Chandra, Jenoir, and Pharaban survive the suicide mission to Darkover. More details
11. Dealing with Evil Benedict, the rise of Dworkinetics, Gwen’s first reincarnation.
12. “Belated Cleanup 1: Gwen, Evil Titania, Ingold’s Pattern, Rifts, Evil Benedict, not-Snarsht, Llewella, and House Barimen”
13. “Meetings, Investigations, and Waffling”
14. “Belated Cleanup 2: Darkover, Mikail, Bronelle, Toram’s Lands, the Spiral, Silver Lyra, Oberon, …”
15. The ShadowPurge - the Black Council’s attack on the local Serpent destabilizes our local multiverse and most of Shadow falls into the Sea of Chance and is destroyed, except those saved in handprints on Kintani, or otherwise rescued by Old Lords, or the like.
16. A new age dawns - the Primal Pattern and other Patterns are removed by Ingold, and Ferro. Neville and Auricle draws a new Primal Pattern, re-creating Shadow and creating a new Amber.
