AGDI timeline

Sign in to edit
The information in this article is from a fan game or fan fiction and is therefore not canon.


For official timeline variants, see King's Quest Timeline.

The AGDI Timeline is an unofficial timeline based on the information from AGDI's King's Quest trilogy (King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown VGA, King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones, and King's Quest III Redux: To Heir is Human).

Background[]

This timeline places KQ7 about 22 years after KQ1. For comparison, the TSL timeline places KQ7 at about 24 years after KQ1, the BI timeline places KQ7 about 22 years after KQ1, and the IA timeline timeline places KQ7 about 24 or 26 years after KQ1 (KQ7 takes place before KQ4).

Dates in the timeline are derived from tombstones, books, and other in-game references from KQ2RTS and KQ3R. Possum's birth date is not specifically given, however her age can be deduced from from other dates mentioned the game, making her between 18 and 28 (though she appears to be not much older than 12).

It is not clear if this timeline is based off historical dating of year 1 or astronomical dating of year 0. However, as it is apparently based on our earth, it may be based on 'historical dating'.

The Father hopes that he had received the Crown of the First King in order to find 'the Item', in time for his Ascension, or his preparations will have been for naught. His Ascension would lead to him becoming the greatest ruler the world ever known since the time of the Ancients, and likely lead to the destruction of much of the world.[44]

Notes[]

  • When all the specific references made in KQ2RTS are added up Anastasia between 18-28 (though she doesn't look much older than 12). The fact that Caldaur stopped ruling some 40-50 years before the story in 1646, and Anastasia was born in 1668 shortly before her parents death that year, would place KQ2 somewhere between 1686 and 1696. This would make Anastasia 18 on the low end to 28 on the high end. The Llowh'wof's letter would correspond to a longer date, as the letter discussing their infiltration of the swamp was written over twenty years before the story.
  • Graham would be between fifty and 68 years old during the events of the ascension. Its possible that the date of the Ascension corresponds with events of the breaking of the Mask of Eternity, the cataclysm, as well as the scenes of Connor becoming the heir and successor to Daventry's throne upon saving the land. However, it is known that Lucreto is not Morgeilen.'
  • An interesting coincidence, is that the founding of Daventry and the first Withdrawal occured about one millennium before the King's Quest games, in the Companion timeline. However, in the official information the Ancients (aka Ancient Ones) existed on the world before the Withdrawal (apparently native to the universe). In the KQ2+ same period more or less corresponds to the end of the Grand War, the death of Legenimor, Morgeilen's disappearance, the rise of the Father and his search for the item. It may also correspond to the creation of Daventry.
  • The exact date of the millennium is approximately 30 years after 'present' based on dates given Caldaur. However, according to the developers it might actually be 30 years after KQ3, and thus roughly 48 years after KQ2+.[45]
  • It's not clear how this timeline relates to the KQ4 tombstone dates, some of which may indicate dates as late as the 1800s. But ignoring references to Simon Byrne (c. 1830) and Seidlitz powder on the later gravestones (as simply anachronism), the latest dated stone is 1669, KQ3 and KQ4 in this timeline take place in the 1700s.

Notes[]

The date when KQ2 (AGDI) takes place is extrapolated from in-game gravestones, and various in-game references.

This is one of the earliest fan timelines. It arose with the existence KQ2: Romancing the Stones, and encompasses the AGDI trilogy which also includes King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown VGA, and King's Quest III Redux: To Heir is Human. The game altered many characters storylines turning several who were once villains into allies of King Graham, and other characters who were once good or neutral into Graham's enemies. It also removed a few characters from the story, added new characters, and changed the geography of Kolyma, Neptune's Kingdom, and even the existence of the Enchanted Island (turning it into a snowglobe in Hagatha's cave).

Likewise KQ3R also changes names and motives of some of it's characters as well, Medusa is replaced with Smaude who turns out to be good person.

This formed the AGDI Timeline and which has specific dates, as well as dates that could be interpreted from the given dates on tomb stones. It set its own storyline over the course of three days in Kolyma.

In this continuity King Graham was cursed so that none of his blood heirs would ever receive the throne of Daventry, taking the universe in a much darker and somber direction. Connor becomes the heir of Daventry instead.

Important dates establishing the amount of time between the games include a references to Llowh'wof's letter having been written over twenty years before the game, Neptune's comment that it has been 40 or 50 years since Caldaur stopped ruling, the Ferryman's reference to the swamp having been formed twenty years after Caldaur's death, Caldaur's specific date of death, the specific birth year of Herbert/Lillian, the birth year of Anastasia/death of Lillian & Herbert.

In KQ3R, it is mentioned that Manannan kidnaps a new slave every 17 years. This suggests that he kidnaps 1 year old child, and kills them on their eighteenth birthday.

The relationship between the Ancients and the First Mages is not entirely clear, some references separate them into two groups, both of which originate from the Stars. Other references, seem to connect them together.

Anonymous Game Creator 2 one of the developers of the AGDI games has stated the this wiki has done a pretty good job of putting together the timeline they created for the game.[1]

The placements of KQ4-KQ8 are not known in this timeline but assumes to generally follow the games intent with KQ4 taking place directly after Redux, KQ5 taking place 1 year later, KQ6 taking place six months later, and KQ7 taking place before Rosella’s 20th birthday. KQ8 placement remains unclear though Connorn is apparently around Rosella’s age so it can’t be much longer after KQ7.

King's Quest IX[]

1726 corresponds with a hypothetical sequel to AGDI's versions of King's Quest events and the first eight games. In which there is a final confrontation between the Royal Family and The Father likely to prevent him from Ascending, or at least somehow defeating him before he causes too much damage.

The release of such a game is unlikely for several reasons. Himalaya Studios only works on commercial games now. They would have to gain a fan license to just make a non-profit game (unlikely since they are looking for commercial success in their own games now), or a commercial license to make the game for profit (also unlikely under the circumstances). Himalaya has said if they were to obtain commercial license they would stick closer to the original series, and not make reference to their fan stories (which also nixes any chance of a direct sequel to their fan remakes).

Or could he simply snap his fingers and bring The Item into one piece again? This, you don't know yet. What players do know is that he now has possession of The Item, which he has sought for a millennium, ever since Leginimore died in the Grand War. Indeed, the whereabouts of The Item is precisely what he was trying to attain from Graham by asking for his crown in KQ2VGA+'s balcony scene during the Cloud Spirit tests. Thirty years onward from the time when King's Quest III Redux takes place, the planetary alignment will occur, and this event will make The Ascension possible. At that moment, Leginimore's vast magical power will be bestowed upon the person who possesses the Item. http://www.agdinteractive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=14952
