-In the timeline we try to organize all events and topics by relevant years. There are two set of time lines used on Altaplana. The Obscure time and the lighted time. The lighted time is calculated **A.D.** (Anno Domini) like the Julian calendar ((See: [[en:dictionary:a.d|]])). The Obscure time lines are calculated **A.T.** (After the Tower) ((See: [[en:dictionary:a.t|]])).
