Are you referring to the timeline included in the History of Ehb lorebook in Legends of Utrea?

If you are, keep in mind I compiled that from references from the lorebooks in Kingdom of Ehb and LOA, many of those references have been superseded by lore from DS2 and in any case were very disjointed - it was very obvious that GPG never sat down and compiled a true backstory to base DS1 on, rather they filled in details as they worked on the game. Otherwise how can you explain Ibsen Yamas being 200 years old (one lorebook mentions he was born in the year 944 yet the events in KOE supposedly happened in 1144). Also Azunai's religion appeared nearly 1200 years before the events culminating in the destruction of the Empire of Stars, where Azunai himself was suppose to have been involved as according to the lore in DS2.

GPG obviously learnt from the mistakes of DS1 and spent quite a bit of time creating a backstory and history for DS2. Unfortunately a lot of that history overwrote what was stated in DS1 and probably LOA as well.

Have you referred to the Dungeon Siege history compiled by LoneKnight and found in the Game resources section to the right? It does a great job of compiling the history of Aranna as referenced from DS2 and also Throne of Agony.
