Time is confirmed to move at least somewhat during the main story, from celebrating the 5th anniversary of the Battle of Carteneau to the declared start of the Seventh Astral Era, so for 2.x content until such a time as there is official word on the subject, the years and dates are set to correspond with Earth's.

The 2.x content is confirmed to have started five years later, making it 1577 (6AE, also the year 5 7UE if you set the latest Umbral Era to start in the same year) in Hydaelyn. However, for version 1.x content it has all been confirmed to have happened on the year 1572 of the Sixth Astral Era, so that guideline is followed for that content instead. This is due to lack of confirmed stance on this issue. Most of the content updates are set as happening around the same time of the year in Hydaelyn as it happened on Earth. Of note are the principles used to create the timeline of 'current events' on this site. This page presents an approximate timeline of all known major events in Hydaelyn.
