This is a listing of important events in the Saga of Stranggore. It includes the activities of the player characters, especially stories, as well as major events in the Stonehenge Tribunal and England.

Note: This page is a timeline of fictional events for the fantasy role-playing game Ars Magica. The game is set in a fantastic version of medieval England. Events in the story line of the game have only slight relation to real-world history and should not be considered factual.

When editing this page, list seasons in reverse chronological order so the most recent events appear at the top of the list.

For each season, first list major historical events (wars, droughts, coronoations) if there are any. Most years, there won't be. Next, add links to any stories that occurred. Finally list the publicly-known activities of the player characters.
