Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Timeline of Events

I thought I try to work out an order of events as presented in the EA. Dates aren't something I would rely on but everyone is aware of the 1492 toll-keeper's log

There are also a lot of threads present in the EA that don't necessarily intertwine with each other or the events of the other games/modules but I'll theorize on how they might. It's all speculation but text in green is information I couldn't quite place, text in red is conjecture based on conjecture

Shar and her battle with Selune and the Spell Plague seem to be a not insignificant part of the story, especially with how Netherese magic/Karsus may be folded into it.

The oldest place we've found so far would appear to be the temple of Shar, its first foundation seems to predates everything else, it was at some point abandoned for reasons unknown, but likely before the Spell Plague, because after that a sect of Sharran's find and rehabit it, building new constructions

Abducted Elf, Eliette, Chosen of Lolth, Escapes Underdark to become Drider, likely the one guarding the entrance to Moonrise

• Ketheric Thorm/Dark Justiciars
  During this time, Paladin of Shar, Ketheric Thorm discovers old Sharran Temple and sets up shop there
  The Harper Cache near Astarion talks of blasphemous behavior among local Selunites, based on name, my guess is 'Moonrise' was probably a Selunite temple corrupted, it's possible Thorm was a Selunite there too, and possibly his second Sybil
  As far as guessing a time-table goes, does anyone know how long a Rothe lives, the elder Rothe remembers when Thorm was around, and says he's out lived his mother and grand mother(whatever that means), it might be important if the events of the Spell Plague are important
  Village children go missing(Hag?)
• Assault on Selunite's Underdark fort
  Ultimately unsuccessful based on intact defenses, though all but one Selunite is killed.
• Razing of Moonhaven
  
  Village Necromancer and Apprentice perish
  Notes found at temple state successful raid on village
  presumably Selunite Temple also razed
• Hell Harpers and Grove
  
  Murals in Grove display alliance between Harpers and Emerald Enclave defeating Dark Justiciars ("though the monsters have returned")
  Evidence(and remnants) of hellish host destroying Thorms temple
  Nightsong(Sword of Thorm? Product of Forge?) Lost in Underdark
  Thorm seems to have taken up blasphemy against Shar, putting himself before or or at least on equal terms with her, unclear if this is important
• Moonrise Curse
  
  Cause unclear, my guess is inner temple will shed some light on it, and also explain why first Sharran's left/disappeared
  Halsin being present during the War is possibly privy to more
• Goblins inhabit temple
  Goblins have operated in the area long before following Absolute.
• Descent of Elturel
  the time of which is a controversal issue, but regardless has been recently returned by the start of BG:3.
• Absolute Arrives on Surface
  Based on Tollboth log, refuges from Elturel are being attacked while fleeing Elturel, Goblins attacked the toll booth, Gnolls moved into the area too, both Gnolls, and Goblins are operating under True-Souls.
  Duke Ravenguard, abducted, going to or returning from Elturel, by Drow and Goblin agents, and taken to Moonrise
  Upheaval seen by Shadow Druids to influence Grove into invoking Rite of Thorns until threat passes
  Based on this Elturel might have returned but it seems to be in general disorder, the Descent was probably seen as a good opportunity for the Absolute to finally push topside
• Mind-Flayers assault Elturel/our characters
  
  I don't quite remember this well, but I believe our first look at BG:3 in the teaser shows the Mind-Flayers raiding Elturel, whether this takes place before or during the descent, or after the return is unclear to me. Though we know by the time we play Elturel has returned and kicked out the Tieflings
  

Every Dead End to a Cure We've Seen So Far
I'm putting the Creche here because I think we're supposed to go the Creche before Moonrise in the game, meaning the Creche needs to loop back into the main quest somehow
*Raphael, might actually be able to remove the tadpole, but I think we'll only meet him again after, or at, Moonrise
