A fragmented still depicting life before the Great Catastrophe.

The Isu Era was a period of time marked by the existence of the Isu as the dominant species on Earth.[1] What time period preceded the era's beginning is unclear, but the Isu species had a presence within the border of modern-day Jordan around 80, 000 BCE.[2]

Timeline

Pre 1923 IE

1923 IE

  • During the War of Unification, Consus created the first Shroud of Eden to treat casualties of the war. He later transferred his consciousness into the Shroud in a desperate bid to escape death, but became trapped within his own creation.[1]

2161 IE

Unknown

  • Seth killed his brother Osiris. Overwhelmed by grief, Osiris' sister-wife Isis used the Ankh to revive him for one night, during which they conceived their son Horus.[8]

  • Day 6: The human workers from a construction site in Qobustan, Azerbaijan were reassigned to the sanitation of a nearby lake.[15]

2195 IE

c. 2200 IE (c.75, 100 BCE)[17]

c. 2220 IE

  • Juno recovered the prototype Shroud of Eden housing Consus' preserved consciousness.[18]

Unknown

  • Poseidon granted Juno and her husband Aita access to Atlantis, where they secretly started the Olympos Project, in which they experimented on humans and created monstrosities.[19] Poseidon banished them back to Feyan[20][21] and outlawed human experimentation in Atlantis.[22]
  • The Sister Realms held a summit through their Atlantean embassies regarding the findings of Atlantis' Solar Dynamics Observatory and the threat of solar instability. Hades was the only leader to attend but embraced the prospect of annihilation.[23]
  • On the advice of his dikastes Aletheia, Posidon destroyed Atlantis by sinking it into the ocean due to recurring upheaval and friction between its Isu and human populations.[24]

  • After learning of Loki's involvement in Baldr's murder, Odin had him arrested,[34], imprisoned,[36] and tortured in an underground vault beneath would later become the fortress Alamut.[39]
  • Aita volunteered as a test subject in an experiment to transfer Isu consciousness into human bodies, though his mind swiftly deteriorated.[28][40]
  • Juno continued researching this process and developed a serum that facilitated the Isu being incarnated as humans. Due to worries that it would pollute the human genome, Jupiter and Minerva abandoned the initiative and had the serum locked away.[26]

  • With Juno's aid, Odin stole the untested serum in order to survive the impending catastrophe. Taking a sample for herself,[26] Juno secretly added parts of Aita's genetic code into the human DNA allowing him to be reborn in humans as Sages,[41] after which she agreed to end his suffering.[28][41] Vejovis also took advantage of a similar method to develop Sages of himself.[42]
  • Juno secretly tampered with Minerva's Eye, a device that could calculate potential futures, to manipulate humanity and ensure her global domination. After her treachery[28] and role in Odin's theft of the serum[26] were discovered, the High Council stripped her of her title[43] before Minerva[28] and Jupiter attacked and killed her in the Grand Temple.[44] However, Juno survived and digitally transferred her consciousness inside the temple's walls.[28]
  • After Aletheia was gravely injured,[45] Loki helped upload her consciousness into the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus,[46][47] and the pair hoped to reunite after the impending catastrophe.[48]
(c. 75, 010 BCE)[49]

2306 IE[16] (c. 75, 000 BCE)[49]

Earth after the Great Catastrophe
  • Minerva made preparations for another solution involving the global aurora borealis device to be tried during the next solar cycle, hoping that it would be successful without Juno's influence.[28]
  • The Great Catastrophe occurred[16] when a coronal mass ejection struck Earth. Less than 10,000 humans, and far fewer members of the Isu, survived the cataclysm, bringing an end to the Human-Isu War.[50]
  • As the Great Catastrophe struck the Earth, Odin, Týr, Thor, Freyja, Idun, Frey, Sif, and Heimdall used the serum to upload their DNA into Yggdrasil to be incarnated as humans in future generations, before meeting their inevitable doom. Loki killed Heimdall before he could leave Yggdrasil's chamber and secretly used the serum to be incarnated as well.[53]

Post 2306 IE

c. 74, 900 BCE
  • The last Isu died roughly 100 human years after the catastrophe, according to estimates made by the Assassins.[61]
