Patience, brothers. Soon we will reveal the secrets of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Dawn of Ragnarök. This article has been identified as being out of date. Please update the article to reflect recent releases and then remove this template once done. |

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
- Hephaistos created the Swords of Eden during the War of Unification.[1]
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
- Day 24: The High Council ordered the creation of a new workforce under the supervision of the Father of Understanding Yaldabaoth, the Mother of Wisdom Saklas, and the Sacred Voice Samael.[3]
- With approval from the Isu's governing body in Eden, and directed by the scientist Phanes, the Isu enacted Project Anthropos, an initiative that saw the creation of humanity as slaves[4] from a pre-existing species.[5] The humans were made to be susceptible to the powers of the adamant-based[6] Apples of Eden.[7]
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]

- Poseidon took control of the city of Atlantis from his son Atlas, and let Atlas and his other sons serve as archons.[9][10]
- Hades abducted Persephone and forced her to become his wife, with his brother Jupiter's approval.[11][12] He imprisoned Persephone in an area of the Underworld that she reshaped as Elysium, which Hades allowed her to rule alongside her friend Hekate.[13][14]
- The Sister Realms were formed between Atlantis, ruled by Poseidon; the Underworld, ruled by Hades; and Elysium, ruled by Persephone.[13]
2194 IE
- 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]
- The Staff of Hermes Trismegistus was forged in the late "Isu Singularity Age".[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]

- Adam and Eve, two Isu-human hybrid slaves, escaped from the city of Eden with an Apple of Eden.[25]
- Ruling as the new Father of Understanding, Mother of Wisdom, and Sacred Voice,[26] the Capitoline Triad comprised of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, respectively, retreated to the Grand Temple to find a solution from the impending solar flare, ultimately trying six unsuccessful options.[27][28][26][29]
The enclosed content covers events or items that, while canonically experienced, may or may not have been altered in some manner and cannot be taken at face value.

|
- 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]

- 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]

- 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
- Three months after the Great Catastrophe, six Messengers recorded reports over two weeks' time for Layla Hassan before storing them in vaults scattered around Egypt. In order, they were the Amun Amunet messenger at Oun-mAa Niye Ressoot,[54] the Nomarch messenger at Seshem.eff Er Aat,[55] the Khufu messenger at Khesesh Em Sesh Em Eeneb,[56] the Khnum and Hequet messenger at Eeyoo Sekedoo Aat,[57] the Seth Anath messenger at Qeneb.too Kah'Aiye,[58] and the Sphinx messenger at Eesfet Oon-m'Aa Poo.[59]
- In the wake of the Great Catastrophe, Earth experienced severe climate change, with the ash in the atmosphere making the air toxic while also causing global temperatures drop[40] because the particulate matter backscattered incoming solar radiation and induced a volcanic winter. Humanity and the Isu worked together to rebuild civilization. The Isu influenced human civilizations' early stages and would subsequently come to be revered as gods by the humans.[50][60]
