THE LEGENDS TIMELINE OF TERRARIA || Lore Store

In this updated timeline, we explore the entire history laid out in the Terraria Legends continuity as depicted in the series of Terraria Lore Store videos. We chart from the very start of the universe right up to the time the Champion defeats the Moon Lord and beyond, breaking the timeline down into Eras and Ages to make the vastness of it all that more understandable.

This video is NOT official lore for the video game Terraria. It is my own interpretation of the game world and it's history with fictitious elements added to help expand the story.

[@holybilly3066]

There's something inherently satisfying about hearing how terraria's world was threatened by at most a few of the bosses at a time and then the player comes along and kills them all within a year because some random dude told them to

[@bappojujubes981]

A random washed-up former hero of the same world but still some guy.

[@RationalGamers]

Kinda skimmed it here but I've tried to flesh it out in other videos that after Cthulhu imprisoned light in his own flesh, the guide bound night or it as well and gave up his soul to satiate the wall of flesh via imprisoning it in a voodoo doll that he entrusted to the demons, becoming tied and in some ways controlled by the flesh
