I actually included the Chronological Timeline in the html Manual supplied with the game. I'll post it here on the Lore thread as well for easy reference.
Chronology

The Age of Tradition - The Early Times
Year 1 Nimbelheim is founded around tribes of Elven settlements. The first Free Nation is born.
ca 400 Dal is established as the second oldest still functioning state in the world.
to 1000 The nation of Zuur flourishes but is later laid in ruins by a today unknown foreign invasion.
ca 1000-2000 The White Cross Empire flourishes north-east of the Canwella desert. Its culture is high-standing and population peaceful and progressive and it was often seen as a counterweight to Zuur, fighting defensive wars against them and keeping them in check. How and why the Empire vanished is veiled in darkness and riddle.
1900's The Kingdom of Angleeye is established. The Dwarven Thorshammir is also established.
2100's The Principality is founded.
2105 The traditional year of the Battle of Urfjord where the early Vikings beat the Dwarves.
2200-2600's The Great Wanderings. Barbarian nations roam the world and cause chaos. The Free Lands are able to unite and hold them at bay. Angvina is founded as a direct result of barbarian movements.
2300's The Tanite appear, and slowly consolidate a kingdom in the south.
2448 The City of Vestalla is founded and the foundations to the Vestallan Empire are laid.
2500's The Erezon tribes march onto the Plains of Hermalina and found their first settlements. The Kraxantine Sultanate is founded in the west at approximately the same time, suggesting that the West had a golden age during this period. There is said to have been many other great - now dead and gone - civilizations in the far West at the same time too.
2600's The Vikings raid along the coasts of the Northern Sea, but finally settle on the north shores of the Peninsula. Under the influence of the Principality and the Elven Federation, they quickly become a part of the civilized world during the reign of the enlightened king Hornwald. The Dominion of Vestalla is also established during this century.
The Age of Lore - Establishment of Civilization
2620's-50's The War of the Silver Dragon. The Principality, led by the Silver Dragon Order, fights the rest of the world in an epic war.

2814 Yatenga is founded as tribes in the Canwella Desert unite to form a strong state as protection against mighty neighbours.
2850's Clanleader Gracchus founds and establishes the Elchers Clan, fighting immense wars in the process, making Elchers one of the most warlike nations in the World.
2931-36 The Elven Civil War. The Dark Elves rise in rebellion and a bloody Civil War is fought threatening the entire existence of the Elven Federation. The Dark Elves lose and the entire people is exiled to the Denerean Island where they form a new state.
2960 The Erezon Empire is in turmoil. The warlord Qen reunites the weakened nation and founds the Second Dynasty.

2981-97 The Great Desert War. Weakened by recent barbarian invasions, Yatenga finds itself on the brink of collapse and is invaded by an alliance of Namyr, Dal and Angvina. Yatenga defends itself in desperate bravery and when Erezon comes to its rescue, the alliance has to quit the war.
2995 The Desert Faith tries to overthrow the government in the Elchers land and take power following Sanah Elcher's defeat and death. The Cultists are blockaded at Fort Albae but the Elchers don't have force to storm. The Eastern World, suspicious of the Desert Faith more than of the Elchers Clan, sends help and finally storm and kill all rebels.
