Credit to Clove_Thenardier for the name Ragilora, which she probably intended as a joke, but I've latched on to it and it's better than just going "*vague hand wave* the world..."
So. Ragilora is the canon-non-canon name for the planet all my books take place on, because I'm one of those authors and all my separate novel series take place on the same planet.
Ragilora = Radiant, Girl's Guide, Loralei, Avia
It gives the planet a name and is also a handy acronym to remember the order of over two-thousand years of history!
This is going to be a REALLY VAGUE timeline because I suck at writing out information in a cohesive way, so if you have any more specific questions don't hesitate to ask! MORE EVENTS WILL BE ADDED AFTER I FINISH GG AND BEFORE I WRITE LORELEI.
BGG = "Before Girl's Guide"
GG = "Girl's Guide" (obviously)
AGG = "After Girl's Guide"
______
Ascent of Movalissa - Noxian religious texts set 3,145BGG as the year of Movalissa and Parlahk's rise to become Ragilora's moons.
RADIANT - All the events of my novel Radiant and its potential spin-off/sequel take place on the continent of Siaboras around 2,200BGG ["wow, that's pretty ancient!" this will make more sense when I eventually post the rewritten version.]

The Calamity of Siaboras - around 1800BGG Siaboras pulls an Atlantis and sinks into the sea.

Dissolution of the Second Lumo-Ignean Alliance - 151BGG, Lumina tries to take back the mountains of Ignus. Ignus pushes them back and dissolves the Alliance yet again. Ignus becomes a completely isolationist kingdom.

The Fall of Ignus - 12BGG, Lumina dissolves the alliance with Ignus and announces their war on the whole Realm Under Twin Shadows by ambushing and slaughtering the majority of Ignus's people. Any dragons found in the six year period after the invasion are either killed immediately or captured.
