{{Short description|Overview of the historical eras}}
The Vrienden Universe is structured around distinct historical eras. Each era reflects a dominant mode of organization, authority, and social logic, with later periods emerging directly from the structural outcomes of earlier ones.


Readers can explore each era to understand how the world functions during that period.
The '''Timeline''' divides history into five eras from 1400 to the present. The eras are used to separate broad historical periods according to the generations and developments that define them. Detailed events are covered on the individual era pages.

[[Middenvader Era]]
 
=== The Vriend Era (1960–present) ===


The current period marked by decisive structural change and long-term stabilization. Systems inherited from earlier eras are fundamentally reconfigured, resulting in new forms of continuity and interaction.
This era is defined by adaptive expansion, interconnected frameworks, and the persistence of revised structures across generations.

Revision as of 13:25, 20 September 2026

The Timeline divides history into five eras from 1400 to the present. The eras are used to separate broad historical periods according to the generations and developments that define them. Detailed events are covered on the individual era pages.

Eras

Early Foundation Era

The Early Foundation Era covers 1400–1799. It represents the earliest period in which the foundations of later families and organizations can be traced. The era ends before industrialization and the more extensively documented family histories of the nineteenth century.[1]

Pre-Vader Era

The Pre-Vader Era covers 1800–1919. It follows the early family foundations and covers the period in which later family lines became more clearly documented through industrial development and military service. It ends before the generation classified as the Vaders reached its main period of adulthood.[2]

Vader Era

The Vader Era covers 1920–1945. It corresponds to the main adult period of the generation classified as the Vaders. The era also covers the political and military conditions of the interwar period and the Second World War, which shaped much of that generation's later history.[3]

Middenvader Era

The Middenvader Era covers 1946–1959. It is the transitional period between the Vader Era and the Vriend Era. The era covers the post-war years in which the older generation remained active while the conditions associated with the later Vriend Era were developing.[4]

Vriend Era

The Vriend Era began in 1960 and remains the current era. It covers the generation associated with De Vrienden and the historical period that developed around them. Later generations and events remain part of the Vriend Era unless a new era boundary is established.[5]
