Events until with Shade Blue. Spoilers I guess.

Old World

 * Breakthrough in technology and science improved through leaps and bounds, unlocking limitless potential.
 * Breakthrough in technology and science improved through leaps and bounds, unlocking limitless potential.


 * First Calamity:
 * White Day occurs, recorded as a reality-altering disaster that would later be passed down as "First Calamity".
 * To clarify. White Day is not created with Aether, it's a pre-version known as "Origin".


 * All forms of electronics goes haywire. It's comparable to EMP'ing the entire world.
 * A sphere of white encases earth extending to the range of mesosphere. This would later be known as "Aethersphere".
 * The 'reality' of Earth shifts (ex: Laws of Physics becomes looser). This is the first recorded instance of 'magic'.
 * The air-atmosphere becomes toxic with 100% mortality rate. Living organisms and inorganic alike breaks down into a new, unknown substance before dissolving into the air.
 * The process is later dubbed White Desaturation.
 * The event wipes out 80% of the human population on earth and technology is pushed back hundreds of years.
 * Research shown that the unknown substance are less concentrated at lower altitudes (less dissolving rate). Surviving humans are forced to live underground as the atmosphere of the surface world becomes inhabitable.


 * Second Calamity:
 * Surface world becomes habitable due to the homogenization of the unknown substance and the air atmosphere, stabilizing it. This new substance is dubbed "Aether".
 * Fantastic creatures created from Aether spawning from all corners of the world, taking the form of a variety of lifeforms, plant or animal, organic or artificial, even real or mythical.
 * Generally violent in nature, the "Aether creatures" only crave to consume and is mostly immune to conventional weaponry.


 * Human population dwindles further, and earth eventually lost all concept of borders and nations.

Pre KStuff

 * Into the New World
 * R&D of Aether based weaponry.
 * Shinra volunteers as Seika and Alma's test subject on the effects of Aether against the human body.
 * Shinra contracts Discoloration Syndrome during the experiment of inverting Aether flow, and eventually becomes the first Distortion wielder (this is not disclosed).


 * Seika/Alma/Shinra found out Aether's nature and the inherent danger it possess.
 * Seika passes away and succeeded by his children, who went on to work with Alma and Shinra. This creates the 'clan' of nameless.
 * An unknown individual slayed an Aether creature with a crude prototype of Aether-weaponry.
 * This would eventually be passed down as the legend of the Uncrowned.


 * Crusades
 * An independent group, Knight of faith was formed and began pushing back Aether creatures, bringing sanctuary and stabilization to human territory.
 * First official record of Aether-weaponry being deployed.


 * Formation of word restoration Bureau, and Knight of faith was absorbed and restyled as Round Table Knights.
 * Demon Hunting Organizations became a thing, and human began taking back what was theirs.
 * A delicate stability between human development and constant Aether creature invading is achieved. Humanity began rebuilding their lives.


 * Internal Conflict
 * The nameless clan became obsessed with reaching the Origin of Aether, and develops the ability to parse Aether barehanded. This was kept as a secret from Alma/Shinra.

 * The nameless clan expands its workings as far as possible away from Alma's supervisions.

 * Clan genocidal event happens. Nameless clan' suffered extreme loss from every single other clan and Knights ganking them.
 * Nameless clan releases their trump card, a magic that replicates 70% of White Desaturation's effect.
 * The process goes horribly wrong, killing off almost all of the participants.
 * Survivor from Round Table Knights: Ylvaria, who contracts Discoloration syndrome. First publicized record of said syndrome.
 * Survivor from the nameless clan: Franz, who resuscitated his younger brother, Ruger, which during the process induced an inverse Aether flow and giving the latter Discoloration syndrome.


 * Ruger becomes a half-dead revenant animated by Distorted Aether, but retains his living ego.
 * Franz took Ruger away from the site, and the two briefly worked together.
 * The two eventually parted ways and Ruger spends the next 2 years wandering.


 * Laplace is recruited by Alma/Shinra. Work condition: stonewalls everywhere.


 * Aftermath
 * Alma kept a personal copy of what she could dug out of the nameless clan, then wipes out all of the rest of records.
 * Alma initializes project of creating a being to defragmentize Aether and push away the second White Day based on the Nameless Clan's research.


 * Laplace is kicked out by the Association, specifically, by Alma and Shinra for prying too deep into their research.
 * Weir joins Round Table Knights.
 * Argence joins/is recruited by Round Table Knights for her family's safety from Association's investigations.

 * Faye recruits Ruger and teaches him Stitch Binding.


 * Emir got kicked out of the Association.


 * 2 weeks ago

 * Round Table Knights dispatches Weir and Argence, with Ylvaria tagging along to investigate B612.

KStuff

 * Shade Yellow
 * Ruger works with Quinque to repel the invading forces in B612. During this time, he:
 * Reunites with Argence, got shot in the face by Faye, and got slammed by Weir etc, etc.


 * The Bureau launches its nukes on B612.
 * Quinque shot down 1/2 and another 1/2 was neutralizes by Ruger via a massive surge of Distortion.
 * Since Ylvaria clarified that she's not the one who caused the Distortion, this alerts Alma, who stopped the second round of assault with the discovery of a third Distortion Wielder.
 * Tensions between Round Table Knights and the Association, B612 and the Bureau got worse.
 * Faye walks away the winner, having got the materials she wanted.
 * Alma dispatches Shinra to investigate the events and locate Ruger.


 * Shade Blue
 * Weir is promoted from his role in B612.
 * Maya left her position from the Association for reasons unknown without any notification. Everyone panics.
 * Faye got thrown into the spotlight as a result.


 * Shinra beats the crap out of Ruger. Unbeknownst to the both of them, he did so at the site where White Day first occurred.


 * Notes about Origin:
 * As it name implies, it is the origin of Aether and Distortion. In a way, Aether can be seen as interpretation of technological (Aether-weaponry), while Distortion is magical (reality altering).
 * Despite Aether and Distortion being (arguably) inverse images of each other, Origin does not have any counterpart of sorts; it simply is.
 * Only two beings have access to Origin: ??? and Monster.
