SSQ Timeline

This timeline lists all the major events across time in SSQ, based on two time systems. EY, or Earth Year, starts with our year 2000 and continues into what would be our year 4000. From there, Nintendus Year comes, and continues from 4000 onward. Some dates may be approximate; expect more to be filled in as appropriate. This is the most zoomed out version of SSQ's history; with book summaries the next most zoomed out, then season summaries, then finally chapters themselves.
