Whenever the date of an event is unknown, but it is understood to have happened after the given year, it will be listed as a subset of the given year. The names of the various ages of creation are credited to the Lizardmen since they have the longest continual history of any intelligent race of the Warhammer World. If a date is given in the source material according to a different calendar (such as the Nehekharan Calendar which dates Year 1 as the beginning of King Settra the Imperishable's second reign, the Book of Days of the Asur (High elves) which measures dates in the regal years of the Phoenix Kings or the Gospodarin Calendar which dates Year 2 as the founding of the city of Kislev) the dates are adjusted to the Imperial Calendar by matching them against the founding of the Empire by Sigmar in the year 1 IC. The timeline lists general dates of major events according to the Imperial Calendar (IC).

Translated into Reikspiel by Magister Verspasian Kant, Patriarch of the Order of LightД«elow is a timeline outlining a chronology of the major events that have transpired for all of the major factions in the history of the Warhammer World.

Now millennia have passed, and we speak our own Words, Words that marry the tongues of the Mundane with tongues of those whose mystical insight teaches us of the Gods and the world, of the Mortal and Immortal, and with them we may sculpt the world to our Will and the universe to our Design. Within the Endless Potential of the Unrealised, Conceptions began to take their own form, and in time the Great Paradigms awakened-Powers of the Unrealised that spoke their own Words, so glorious and so terrible. And so the Words made new Conceptions, and new Conceptions increased Intelligence, and increased Intelligence broadened Consciousness, and broadened Consciousness deepened Perception, and this deepened Perception came to know Life more fully, and Perception understood the Form and Process of all that was Realised and came to permeate the raw Potential of all the was yet Unrealised. In time, Creation realised unto itself Life, and Life in turn spawned Perception, and following Perception came Consciousness, and with Consciousness so followed Intelligence, and from Intelligence sprang Conception, and from that came the Words that bind all things into Conception. Every new creation brought with it the possibility for growth and a greater complexity of Form and Process. As Time and Matter and Dimension swelled in the physical womb of the Realised, the Potential continued to grow alongside them within the metaphysical womb of the still Unrealised. And so it was that this Endless Potential realised its own existence, thus creating the Universe and all the planes of existence that run parallel to it. ' In the moments before the Beginning, there was no Time, no Matter, and no Dimension, only the Endless Potential for these things-for in the absence of absolutely everything, absolutely anything becomes possible.
