MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 999 AND VLR OBVIOUSLY

Okay, we all know that century-spanning multiple-timeline time-travel stories can get confusing.  And ZE is no exception.  And with ZTD coming up, I’m guessing most people will be wanting to brush up on the intrigue that ZTD will almost certainly plop us down right in the middle of.  A little while ago, I put together a timeline of all the major events in ZE (and in real life referenced in ZE) for my own reference – but now, with ZE relevant again and building hype, I thought I’d share!
