Written by Rachel Davis. A little bit ago, Tymoteusz Chrzanowski sent me a complete New Albion timeline his friend Rachel made. There’s a few problems, namely with Annabel and Jasper’s ages, and while there could be some other debates or, it is in general bloody well done. I’ve been meaning to share it, so here it is:
Here is the timeline for New Albion. Ages are largely arbitrary, although we have certain general impressions of age ( Jasper is betrothed in his early teens, Fay is a young child when Jasper dies, etc. etc. ). Events are much more concrete. Year 0 is the beginning of Dolls.
-300(?): Alice (0), princess of the albino tribe is told to go do the work of the Angels.
-27: Jasper (13) is betrothed
-22: Jasper (18) and Annabel (18) are at school. Annabel has a crush on Jasper
-20 : Jasper (20) kisses Annabel (20). Annabel expelled within the school year
-19: Annabel (21) loses her parents and inherits the estate
-17: Jasper (23) marries
-10: Fay (0) is born to Jasper (33) and his wife
-1 : Jasper dies (39), leaving his daughter Fay (5) with his wife
0 : Annabel (40) uses her formula to bring Jasper (39/39) back, spends at least a day but probably less than a week with him before smashing him and putting her notes away

87: Connor (24) and Amber (21) meet in the Voodoopunk movement and fall in love. Constance (23) attempts to steal the MCG, Thomas (26) reveals himself as a police agent. Jacqueline (44) takes Thomas and Constance down to meet the Voodoopunks, where Thomas is possessed by a spirit. John (46) shows up at Crier’s Boulevard to take back the MCG, but recognizes Constance and turns against the army, including the military special ops unit the Blood Red Dogs, instead. The Voodoopunks use the MCG to broadcast their song to all the policemen, and then the whole city. Constance sings another song, though, that takes control, and everyone wakes up. John and Jackie stand against the army to protect Constance. Jackie is killed, and John dies, too, but after he leaves the city forces defenseless. Rebels overrun the Parliament, then turn against one another, leaving the city in 8 independently run districts. The ranks of the Voodoopunks swell. The ‘Shroud of St. Priscilla’ is found, and St. Harlott (48) becomes an icon of the movement. Under the Voodoopunks, New Albion is united. Arcadia Corp is founded
89: Connor (26) splits with Amber (23) when Amber gives their unborn/newly born child to Arcadia Corp for use in their AI experiments

92: Lee (0) is born to Connor (28)
111: Connor (46) gets the funding pulled from Project Elysium days before it takes off. Lee (19) and Adrian (20) trick him into undoing it, then run away to Elysium together. The creatures attack immediately. Back home, Connor shuts down Arcadia Corp
113: Adrian (22) is the last person sent through the portal in an attempt to contact home. He dies when he hits the portal, and is reincarnated as Connor in year 64. Rachael (0) is born
122: Lee (30) loses an arm to the creatures’ attack
128: Rachael (15) meets the Man (??)

Rachael and the Mascot live for a time in the Shopogopolis, then return to Connor, who opens the portal to Elysium for them. Yasser Latef (52) greets them and sends them to meet Lee (39). Everyone except Rachael and the Mascot — who remain in Elysium together — flee using either the MCG, which turns them into AIs like the Mascot, or through the portal, which reincarnates them
