gathered together to form three massive barriers by hardening their
skin. The surviving remnants of humanity escape to these three
barriers, the Walls Maria, Rose, and Sina. Evidently, some human settlementssurvive beyond the Walls. Along with the majority race within the Walls, a clan from a place known as the "Orient" successfully enters into the Walls. | | c.780 | A homeless girl from beyond the Walls is given the name "Ymir" by the leader of a cult, the "Subjects of Ymir". The girl joins the cult and becomes a figure of worship. | | 784 | A
miner attempts to dig beneath Wall Sina to enter the interior, but
after digging for some time he discovers an area below the ground where
the Walls jut outward. After discussing his findings with a friend, the
miner mysteriously disappears, and his friend disappears as well soon
afterwards. | | c.785 | The
Subjects of Ymir are found by the authorities. They are led through the
streets in chains and are exiled a remote borderline where they are all
turned into mindless Titans wandering the wilderness | | c.830 | Grisha Jaeger cures a devastating plague in Shiganshina District. | | 835 | Mikasa Ackermann is born to Mr. and Mrs. Ackermann, the latter being the last member of the Oriental clan Eren Jaeger is born to Grisha and Carla Jaeger. | | 844 | Nicholas Lovof tasks Levi, Furlan Church, and Isabel Magnolia to find incriminating files on Lovof's business with Lang Company and to kill Erwin Smith, who carries the files. Erwin Smith encounters Levi in the Underground and offers to pardon his crimes if he joins the Scout Regiment.[10] Commander Keith Sadies decides
to finally implement Erwin Smith's scouting formation into the 23rd
Exterior Scouting Mission. On this expedition, Furlan and Isabel are
killed by an abnormalTitan. Erwin convinces Levi to fight for the Scout Regiment after Levi nearly takes Erwin's life. In her home, Mikasa Ackermann is abducted by human traffickers after

She is later taken in to the Jaeger family. | | 845 | Grisha Jaeger travels to the interior, promising to show his son Eren the secret within his basement upon his return. A settlement beyond the Walls sends out four of their Warriors, Bertholdt Hoover, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, and Marcel to destroy humanity and retrieve the "Coordinate". Marcel is eaten by Ymir's Titan, and Ymir regains her humanity. Bertholdt as the Colossal Titan breaches the outer gate of Shiganshina District, allowing Titans supposedly drawn in by Annie as the Female Titan to enter into the city and starting the fall of Wall Maria. Carla Jaeger is eaten by a smiling Titan. Reiner as the Armored Titan breaches the inner gate. Humanity is forced to retreat to Wall Rose. Eren Jaeger vows to exterminate the Titans. Grisha
reunites with Eren and injects him with a serum which erases parts of
his memory while also presumably giving him the ability to turn into a Titan. Grisha then disappears. The Reiss family proposes killing off Historia,
an illegitimate child of the head of the family, to clear up the matter
of inheritance. It is instead decided that she will live a humble life
under the new name "Christa Lenz" in the Cadet Corps. Ymir overhears this news in a conversation between priests in the Order of the Walls, and she begins a search for Christa. | | 846 | The central government enacts a culling in the form of a Wall Maria reclamation operation,

bandits. The cadets team up to take down her captors, and they
successfully rescue Christa. | | 849 | On the 34th Exterior Scouting Mission, Ilse Langnar encounters a Titan who speaks of the "Subjects of Ymir" and "Lady Ymir". She attempts to communicate with the Titan but is eventually eaten. In order to settle an argument among cadets Jean Kirschtein and Sasha Braus, GarrisonCommander Dot Pyxis hosts a cook-off. Sasha presents cooked meat while Jean presents an omelette cooked by his mother, and Jean is declared the victor. |
