If a date is given in the source material according to a different calendar such as the Nehekharan Calendar which dates Year 1 as the beginning of King Settra the Imperishable's second reign, the Book of Days of the Asur High elves which measures dates in the regal years of the Phoenix Kings or the Gospodarin Calendar which dates Year 2 as the founding of the city of Kislev the dates are adjusted to the Imperial Calendar by matching them against the founding of the Empire by Sigmar in the year 1 IC.
The names of the various ages of creation are credited to the Lizardmen since they have the longest continual history of any intelligent race of the Warhammer World. Whenever the date of an event is unknown, but it is understood to have happened after the given year, it will be listed as a subset of the given year.

Timeline of the Warhammer World. The Warhammer World's continents are arranged very similarly to those of Earth and may be an indicator that the Old Ones also played some role in shaping the Earth and affecting the development of Humanity in general several million years ago, after their supposed disappearance from the galaxy.
Other worlds in the Warhammer 40, universe have been discovered by the Imperium of Man that also have been terraformed into a shape reminiscent of Earth's distinctive continents. In this conception it is possible that the Humans of the Warhammer World were settlers who first arrived on the planet many millennia ago during the Dark Age of Technology and then reverted to a primitive state as so many Human populations did across the galaxy during the Age of Strife , while the Elf and Dwarf populations were beings shaped by the Old Ones from Aeldari and Squat stock, respectively.
The forces of Chaos are even more active on the Warhammer World than they are on many other planets of the galaxy because of the collapsed Warp Gates the Old Ones built on the planet, devices that are very similar in function to the Aeldari 's Webway technology, which was itself derived from the Old Ones ' knowledge of the Immaterium. These damaged Warp portals have allowed the Warp to manifest fully at the north and south poles of the Warhammer World, essentially creating two small Warp rifts at both ends of the planet similar to the Eye of Terror which spew Chaos energies directly into the physical universe, creating what the inhabitants of the Warhammer World call the "Winds of Magic.
Because Chaos can manifest its forces directly on this world, its Elf, Dwarf and Human defenders of Order were slowly but inexorably losing their battle with the Ruinous Powers , ultimately culminating in the Warhammer World's End Times. Following the destruction of the Warhammer World in the End Times and the birth of the Mortal Realms of the follow-on property of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar , it is now clear that in current lore, the universes of Warhammer 40, and Warhammer and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar exist in entirely separate realities.
All that unites them at present is the existence of Chaos and the Realm of Chaos , which is functionally identical between both universes. Many of the armies and factions in Warhammer 40, can be originally traced back to the same concepts in Warhammer Fantasy.
The most obvious examples are the Ork and forces of Chaos armies that are almost unchanged in their primary characteristics from their fantasy counterparts, and Warhammer hobbyists often switch models and parts between the two game systems. Warhammer Fantasy Battles is the main game using the Warhammer Fantasy mythology today, but Games Workshop has made several other games for the Warhammer World, including:.
