Explore the rich history of the Marathon universe, from ancient events like the Nakh revolt to the far future. Discover key moments and characters.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the Marathon universe and want to get a handle on its timeline? Awesome! It's a pretty epic story that spans millennia. Let's break it down, starting from the really, really old stuff. ### Ancient History We're talking way back here. There's a mention of an unnamed 'god' crashing into Earth, specifically the Yucatán Peninsula, way back in c. 64E07. Pretty wild to think about! #### c. 3189BCE This is when things get a bit more organized in the lore. You've got the Nakh revolting against the Pfhor. It's a significant event that sets the stage for a lot of what's to come. #### 490BCE This one's a bit of a historical nod. It references the actual Battle of Marathon where the Greeks beat the Persians. It's cool how they weave real-world history into the game's background! This is just the beginning, of course. The timeline goes on to cover the Pathways Into Darkness era, the First and Second Colonial Periods, and even into the far future. We'll get to all that as we go!
