This timeline comes from Official Timeline of Xanth.

The arrival of X(A/N)th[edit | edit source]

Around the year 4000 BFW, before first wave, the Demon X(A/N)th is banished to realm of Xanth by other senior demons. The date is could be off by about ten thousand years as an accurate timeline is not possible. X(A/N)th's presence caused magic to slowly infuse the realm due to minor leakage from his essence.

The first human colony[edit | edit source]

2200 BFW
  • A colony of humans arrive from Mundania. The colony grows for a while until Magicians and Sorceresses start manifesting. One of the early Sorceresses is the Sea Hag Peril, mostly unknown to others because of her frequent change of bodies.
  • Many uncounted waves happen between this year and 2100 BFW.
2100 BFW Around this date Xanth is cut off from Mundania, becoming a true island.
1900 BFW
  • The human colony has failed by crossbreeding itself to extinction. The humans become assorted magic species through the crossbreeding or were changed by magic. Harpies, Merfolk, Nagas, Sphinxes, Ogres, Goblins, Elves, Fauns, Nymphs, Fairies, various Winged Monsters, and other crossbreeds and variants are suspected to have derived from this. most species tend to be close-mouthed about it, evidently preferring not to admit the debasement of their lineage by human stock. Thus this colony is unknown to history, except by the mute evidence of the surviving species.
  • The last survivors of the human colony form the Interface to allow limited contact with Mundania.
1000 BFW The isthmus is restored and limited contact with Mundania is resumed.
800 BFW Centaur species begins around this time.
85 BFW Prince Harold Harpy delivered.
73 BFW Prince Harold Harpy exiled to Brain Coral's Pool.
