⚙ Configure Timeline Range
Choose how far back and forward your timeline spans.
⚠ Very large time ranges (millions or billions of years) will show less detail. Events still exist — zoom in to find them. Very large ranges are normal for Universe timelines.
🕰 Fictional Timeline Start — how far back?
Negative numbers = before Year Zero (fictional past). E.g. −5000 means 5,000 years before your story's Year Zero.
🔮 How far forward?
