This is a timeline of the history of the world in Ys games.

The Ys wiki uses a unique dating system to indicate the timeline of events. BC is used to denote "Before Christin," and AC is used to denote "After Christin," which refers to the time before and after Adol Christin's birth, respectively. Although this system is not present in any of the games, it is used on the Ys wiki to make the relative dates of the games easier to understand.
