He heads straight towards the ruins of the Armory where he holes up, causing chaos in the Cage equivalent to that of the Faction War only a year and a half ago. By diluting his recently enhanced divinity spark among a dozen parts of this original dessicated body, he circumvents the ban against Powers in the City of Doors and arrives in Sigil. Vecna escapes form his imprisonment on the Demiplane of Dread.

After Haskar’s death in his 130th year of office, the Factions were ejected from Sigil. So, I have simply made anything before Haskar’s Inauguration the “B.C.” of the setting. Before that, while we may know who the Guvner’s factol was, we don’t know how long she reigned. From that we have a range of 130 years with solid dates. The year is usually titled as a certain year in the Administration of the Fraternity of Order’s Factol, currently Haskar. When something happens doesn’t matter so much in the planes as what happened, to whom, and what did they believe. Official dating of years in the Planescape setting was specifically given, though rarely utilized. The Post-Faction War Project utilizes Ken Lipka’s Sigilian Calendar as the official method of naming months and days. What this chronology is meant to accomplish is give the individual an insight into the relationships of the events as they happened across the planes: how the cyclic passing of the Great Modron March corresponds to the rise and fall of the Factions, how interwoven the Kriegstanz is in the daily affairs of planar life, etc. While the Council has tried to include as much information as possible, we have purposely not made up concrete dates for obvious dates, such as the birth of Erin Montgomery, the creation of Sigil, or the first appearance of the Lady of Pain. Some dates are too nebulous - “long ago”, “in a time before measure”, and so on. The purpose of this timeline is not to include every minutia of data ever presented in the Planescape line. These monolithic events dwarf the mental scope of mankind, defying the intuitive need of man to pin things down. ![]() As such, most events are given only vague, loose assignment in the grand scheme of things. Tasks of herculean proportions, mythical events of universe-shattering importance are part of the settings very nature. A Chronology of the Factions and the Planes ![]()
