Mugenri Timeline
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Below is a timeline of events within the Len'en Project universe. Note that some speculation may be involved in placing some events.
Mugenri has its own calendar system called Ruri (流離), which means "exile" or "to wander". It's similar to Japan's old lunisolar calendar, with Mugenri's birth as the starting point of its first era. However, the current year is unknown. The Ruri calendar's months have different names in the different regions of Mugenri, but it is acceptable to refer to them the same way we do in reality for convenience's sake.[1]
