Have several timelines
One for each thread of the story; its start and end come from what you date in it.
- In Work → Calendars, click Add a timeline on its world's card.
- Type its Name and accept.
What a timeline is
The axis your story runs along, with its calendar. Each character, place or event can have its validity on it: when it's born, when it exists, when it happens.
Other ways to create one
New timeline in Work → Timeline.
Its name, start and end
Each timeline has its own name: if one is already called the same, Exaratio flags it. Edit, on the world's card, opens everything about a timeline, including its Start and End.
Which timeline is shown
Each date in your text says which timeline it happens on (Date a scene). The Timeline selector only picks which timeline the chronology shows.
