== The Frontier ==

'''The Frontier''' is possibly a faction of humanity, or the official name of the guardians.  The Frontier is divided up into four known main types: Venus, Abandoned Earth, The Moon, and Mars.  However, there may be more released in the future.

'''Venus'''
Awaiting reports from the Vanguard.

'''Abandoned Earth'''
The wilderness beyond the walls of the City are ruined and corrupted, claimed by nature and our enemies. From the war-torn fortresses of the Twilight Gap to the skyward steppes of Old Russia, evidence of our lost glory still litters the Earth, waiting to be rediscovered.

'''The Moon'''
Early exploration attempts have proven too dangerous. The City has since classified Earth's Moon as a Forbidden Zone.

'''Mars''' 
Awaiting reports from the Vanguard.{{Unsigned|Lethargic Photon}}

== Rough timeline based on what we know ==

*Present Day - The [[Traveler]] is discovered on [[Mars]], and the [[Golden Age]] begins.
*Few years later - Humanity begins colonizing the Solar System.
*Unknown time later - The [[Exo]] are first built for some unknown conflict.
*Several hundred years later - The [[Darkness]] sweeps over the solar system, destroying humanity's empire. This is the [[collapse]], and the [[Dark Age]] begins.
*Unknown time later - Humans who have fled Earth become the [[Awoken]].
*Later - The Traveler sacrifices itself to save mankind, driving back the Darkness.
*Later - [[The City]] is founded, after much conflict, starting the [[City Age]]. The first [[Guardians]] appear to defend the city against alien attack.
*700 years later - Guardians have begun exploring the ruins of the solar system, with the ultimate goal of discovering the past and preventing the Darkness's return.{{Unsigned|OmgHAX!}}

==Worth/Age format==

I have to ask, is there a reason for a timeline? It seems like a holdover from Halopedia (its own timeline), but so far, there hasn't been a single absolute date given for the series. The age system does provide possible entries for the template though. So under that paradigm, I'd suggest the following order:

*Pre-Golden Age (blanket term for events prior to the Traveler's arrival)
*Golden Age
*Dark Age
*City Age

And as such, events can be mentioned within them (Golden Age begins in 21st century, City Age extends to at least the 28th century, as per game timeframe, etc.)--[[User:Hawki|Hawki]] ([[User talk:Hawki|talk]]) 03:35, 5 July 2014 (EDT)
:This would be a better bet than listing individual years. Given that, I don't think the Timeline template is needed.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 19:53, 6 July 2014 (EDT)
::I don't think Bungie has ever given us a solid date via years at all, so insofar as actually dating the events goes, we're in the dark. --[[User:Dante the Ghost|Dante the Ghost]] 16:44, 15 May 2016 (EDT)

==Adding a new timeline subsection labeled "Alternate Timeline"?==
Hello, i would just like to ask the community their thoughts on the addition of a new subsection to the Destinypedia Timeline for events such as the Vault of Glass 3 grimoire card which speaks of a possible end for the city.{{Unsigned|Arcmind}}
:The above was posted by [[User:Arcmind]]. And I think that it isn't necessary, but that's my thoughts on this matter. If I'm outvoted, then let it be so. [[User:Dante the Ghost|Dante the Ghost]] ([[User talk:Dante the Ghost|talk]]) 13:48, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

==Move into the mainspace==
Given this page is a timeline of events for the entire ''Destiny'' universe, I propose it be moved into the mainspace as an actual article, instead of a wiki project page. Please consider.<br>--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 14:18, 16 September 2016 (EDT)
:I agree with this. [[User:Dante the Ghost|Dante the Ghost]] ([[User talk:Dante the Ghost|talk]]) 14:50, 16 September 2016 (EDT)
::I would second this as well, but we have to also consider the reason it is labeled a project page; which is because it is still an ongoing thing that must be updated. However given that, I vouch for moving it to the namespace.[[User:Arcmind|Arcmind]] ([[User talk:Arcmind|talk]]) 18:23, 16 September 2016 (EDT)
:::By "project page", I was talking about the "Destinypedia" prefix the page currently has. The page can still be under-construction regardless of what it's title is.<br>--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 21:12, 16 September 2016 (EDT)

-==Battle of Europa==
-Would like to try and place this in the timeline, as Europa appears for the first time in the timeline at the launch of Beyond Light, so the events of the establishment of eventide, the construction of the glassway, the creation of Banshee, the battle of Europa, and everything else are excluded entirely. Would appreciate some discussion on placement before I write it.

-Move complete. The project page retains a summary of the eras, after Halopedia's example. This page will serve as the detailed record of events. [[User:MorningWalker|MorningWalker]] ([[User talk:MorningWalker|talk]]) 02:45, 17 September 2016 (EDT)
-== Osiris' exile, date ==
-The page currently states that Osiris was exiled after the Twilight Gap and cites the flavortext of this item: https://db.destinytracker.com/d1/items/4171787962-mark-of-the-exile
-This seems to clash with other descriptions stating that he was exiled shortly before the battle, for instance the Fall of Osiris comics: https://comics.bungie.net/en/1/fall-of-osiris & https://comics.bungie.net/en/2/fall-of-osiris.
-Maybe this should be adapted on the page.
