Twilight OrderTwilight Order✦ Twilight Order ✦ Celestial & Master Codex · unified edition v27These characters are born centuries — sometimes eons — apart, yet they all arrive at one street in one present. To keep a coherent timeline, the codex runs on two clocks that meet at The Awakening (the present-day "Year 0," when Riven consciously calls the blue flame and the story proper begins).
Backstory time — measured before the present. Spans from before the first star (Gingey) through the Elder-Wilds collapse and the Vantari era down to the recent 22-year window that raised the living cast. Each origin book lives here.
Present time — measured in chapters. One continuous run, Ch. 1–140, across four seasons and eighteen arcs, on Earth (Charlotte) and the Veil beyond it. This is where every backstory converges.
