Master Timeline
This is the timeline that I'm using for my "Tales" series. The main storyline is contained within the "Tales of Mahado" stories, while the side stories fall under either "Tales of the Tuatha dé Danann" (any story set before the Tuathan clans land on Ireland or after the closing of the Crosspoint on Skye) and "Tales of the Duine-sith" (any story set  after the Tuathan clans come to Ireland and follow the Duine-sith from that point through to the present.) Slight warning-- I continually add and correct this timeline, and there are a few entries that I am still developing.

Stories are identified by CAPITAL letters

ToT- Tales of the Tuatha dé Danann

ToM- Tales of Mahado

Approximately 8000 years ago (Atlantis)
    Fragments from the Orichalcos meteor strike the continent of Atlantis during the reign of Lord Dartz. The fragments are scattered across the continent and slowly infect the psychic abilities of those who are exposed to them- leading those affected to attack their neighbors and take over the governments of the outer cities.
    When one of the larger border cities mounts an attack against the Royal Capital, Lord Dartz leads a counter attack, along with the four Knights of Atlantis, and comes in contact with an Orichalcos fragment. Returning to the Capital with the fragment, Lord Dartz begins studying it and finds that it amplifies his own abilities. He is able to “see” the corrupting influence the fragments have on those of weaker abilities and realizes that it will be impossible to find and destroy all the fragments. He orders the closing of all exterior ports to contain the corruption and shuts down all travel between the Royal district and all other districts.
    When the violence only continues to escalate, Lord Dartz begins to believe it is only a matter of time before the corruption spreads out from Atlantis to consume the rest of the world. He slowly cuts himself off from his councilors and family and begins making plans to stop the infection from spreading beyond Atlantis, whatever the cost may be.
    Lugh, the oldest of the Knights of Atlantis, meets with his grandmother Danu- the strongest Sorceress in Atlantis- to discuss the odd behavior of the King.
