[[folder:Age of Genesis/Gods: 4.6 Billion years ago - 12000 BC]]
- '''4.6 billion years ago'''

- '''66 million years ago'''

* Deep underneath what would be called the Isle of Britain in the modern day, within the {{Land of Faerie}}s Avalon located in the Reverse Side of the World, six powerful fairies are tasked by the planet itself to create a weapon that acts as the ultimate defense for it. Said weapon was {{Excalibur}}, and would be kept safe unless a threat to the planet arrived that warranted its power.

* Crimson Moon Brunestud and Zelretch have a grand duel against each other. The duel ends in Zelretch's victory due to Crimson Moon's unfamiliarity with Magic, but Crimson Moon survives the duel as a discarnate existence and begins waiting for the chance to reincarnate in a suitable True Ancestor. In ''Tsukihime'' timelines, Zelretch has his blood sucked by the 3rd DAA (in the remake, _not_ Crimson Moon) and joins the ranks of the Dead Apostle Ancestors.

* The events of Myth/ArthurianLegend take place, though the name and gender of Arthur varies depending on the timeline. Arthur's uncle Vortigern and the will of Britain incarnated fights to have the isle destroyed in the Age of Gods rather than have its Mystery fade in the Age of Man, but falls at hand of Arthur and their Round Table. Arthur creates the kingdom of Camelot, but it falls when Arthur's sister, Morgan le Fay and the second incarnated will of Britain, uses Arthur to create the homunculus Mordred, who mortally wounds Arthur at the battle of Camlann. The fall of Camelot is permanently written into Proper Human History as a Quantum Time Lock. Arthur regrets the fall of their kingdom on their deathbed and desires the Holy Grail in an attempt to avert its fall. After being summoned into future Holy Grail Wars several times, they come to accept Camelot's end and are taken by Vivian, the Lady of the Lake and one of Morgan's alternate personalities, to sleep within Avalon instead of dying and ascending to the Throne of Heroes after returning Excalibur to her. Merlin is sealed within the Garden of Avalon by Vivian, but witnesses Arthur's final resolution and lets the Cath Palug out into the world so that it may learn the beauty of the world and humanity.

* The events of ''Literature/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles'' begin in September of this year, ending in February 2004 as the prologue of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' begins. Waver Velvet, a Master from the Fourth Holy Grail War now known as Lord El-Melloi II, wishes to re-enter the Holy Grail War and meet his idol [[UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat Iskander]] yet again, but is prevented from doing so.
* Marisbury Animusphere learns that the Grail is corrupted in this timeline and loses interest in participating in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

* Daybit Sem Void is recruited to Chaldea. The group known as Team A to the public but Crypters in private is officially formed. Marisbury dies in his office to thwart Daybit's attempt to turn off CHALDEAS in the ''Grand Order'' timeline. Leonardo da Vinci is summoned by Chaldea, but she refuses to accept a Master and works as a rogue Servant in their employ.

- '''300 million BC'''

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E6AvalonLeFae timeline]], the six fairies decide to slack off on making Excalibur. This results in Sefar wiping out the surface and achieving its goal. The planet responds by sending the last god in the world, [[Myth/CelticMythology Cernunnos]], from the Inner Sea of the Planet to punish them. Cernunnos instead befriends them, but is betrayed by the fairies, who poison him and use his corpse as a foundation for land, becoming a new Britain. The original Britain consumed by Sefar desires to punish the traitorous six fairies and their descendants by sending disasters called Calamities every 100 years and Great Calamities every 1000 years. In 4000 BC, the planet dispatches a special fairy from Avalon, an alternate version of Morgan le Fay/Vivian the Lady of the Lake, to rectify the six fairies' sins by finally forging Excalibur, but she is slain by the British fairies who hate her because she is the legitimate heir of the isle who will inevitably destroy it by completing her mission. The Great Calamity of 0 AD happens, and all fairies are slain by the two Calamities of the Beast and Flame, followed by the complete collapse of fairy society, leaving the land a barren wasteland. Fairies and other Phantasmals wander the land, but are unable to create any sort of society. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline due to Excalibur's importance to the foundation of human history and has it pruned.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E10GoldenSeaOfTreesTravelogueNahuiMictlan timeline]], the meteor carrying the Divine Filaments has a slight change in trajectory and lands on Earth earlier and gentler. They proceed to tie the supercontinent Pangaea together with their Filaments while guiding the evolution of the dinosaurs, eventually turning them into the Deinos, the perfect species who subsist on photosynthesis. However, the Divine Filaments' earlier arrival causes ORT to arrive early as well in 66 million BC. The Divine Filaments foresees ORT's arrival and creates an underground world called Mictlan for the Deinos to evacuate in. ORT crash lands at the very bottom of Mictlan, devastating the planet's surface, and enters a deep sleep to recover from the violent impact. For the next 60 million years little of note happens due to the Deinos' complacency, until humans eventually evolve into existence. In 6 million BC, the underground sun dies, causing the Deinos to enter permanent hibernation. Mankind becomes the dominant species for the next 100,000 years, establishing the technologically advanced Ka'an Kingdom which is powered by geothermal energy. However, ORT finally recovers and begins rampaging. In their desperation, the Ka'an sacrifice themselves to the last man to empower their king Camazotz with absolute immortality. Camazotz steals ORT's heart and the Divine Filaments trick ORT into thinking its heart is still inside its body, sending it into hibernation once again. Camazotz sets ORT's heart into the sky as a second sun, reviving the Deinos, but due to mankind's extinction and the Deinos' complacency, the Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E8FairyRealmOfTheRoundTableAvalonLeFae timeline]], the six fairies decide to slack off on making Excalibur. This results in Sefar wiping out the surface and achieving its goal. The planet responds by sending the last god in the world, [[Myth/CelticMythology Cernunnos]], from the Inner Sea of the Planet to punish them.

* In an [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E5AncestralOceanOfTheGreatGodsAtlantis alternate]] [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E6InterstellarMountainousCityOlympus timeline]], the Leukosmachia ends differently; rather then being defeated by Sefar, the Twelve Machine Gods combine together and fight Sefar. Zeus rightly fears Sefar's power and initiates a temporary recombination against their will, gaining their Authorities in the process and asserting his leadership over them through sheer power. The fusion has enough power to stalemate and repel Sefar, protecting Atlantis and Olympus until she is slain by Excalibur. In 8000 BC, the Machine Gods grow tired of Zeus's dictatorship over them, his desire to control mankind, and his ultimate goal of eventually turning Olympus into a space-faring vessel then abandoning the planet to continue Chaos's directive, and decide under Hades's leadership to rebel against him to give humanity more freedom in the civil war called the Olympiamachia. Zeus wins, slaughtering half of the Machine Gods and reprogramming the survivors to be his slaves, and exiling the humans who worshipped the other gods to Atlantis. He rules over the new world, a blissful utopia where humans live forever and are free to educate themselves yet are less people, and more like props who blindly worship him. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E4GenesisDestructionCycleYugaKshetra timeline]], Arjuna is traumatized by the events of the ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}'', and decides he will stop at nothing to create a perfect world with no evil so that nothing like that will ever happen again. To gain the power to do so, he decides to consume the entire Indian pantheon, starting with his friend Krishna who was the avatar of Vishnu. From there, he absorbs every Divine Spirit except for the god of love Kama and becomes an inhuman, emotionless being called God Arjuna. God Arjuna desires to accelerate the Yuga cycles and reach his new, perfect world faster but even with the Indian pantheon's power he still cannot cycle any faster than every few hundred years at best. Meanwhile, the people of India become a peaceful society but also stagnate and do not do anything out of fear of upsetting their new god and being erased from existence. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned, implied to be due to Arjuna eventually wiping out all of humanity due to his flawed views.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E2EternalIceFlameCenturyGotterdammerung timeline]], Surtr decides to rebel against his given fate by destroying not just Scandinavia, but the entire world. Surtr devours Fenrir after it devoured the sun but before it can kill Odin, gaining its Authority over ice. Due to this change in the history of Ragnarök, Odin fights and seals Surtr to create a new sun, but not before Surtr slays almost everything. Meanwhile, the blood of Surtr spilled by the Norse pantheon continues to burn, creating a massive conflagration that threatens to finish what Surtr started. The only God to survive is Skadi, who is merged with Scáthach. She creates a new civilization that is forced to appease the giants, and blankets the land in magical snow laced with her energy to keep Surtr's blood at bay. Humanity becomes merely livestock for the Giants with their numbers tightly controlled by Skadi, and live only till they reach the age 25 before they are fed to the giants. Six months after the failed Ragnarök, the Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E3LandOfUnifiedKnowledgeSIN timeline]], Emperor [[UsefulNotes/QinShihuangdi Qin Shi Huang]] finds the body of Nezha, an artificial being from India and Chinese mythology built using advanced sage technology. The Emperor becomes immortal by reverse engineering her body, building himself a computer, and uploading his mind into it, gaining advanced technology in the progress. China never experiences societal upheavals like in Proper Human History, advances far faster then the rest of the world and goes on to conquer it by 1200 AD, creating the "Eternal Sin Empire". Humanity lives in a state of false utopia, never developing and remaining closer to slaves who are uneducated, unthinking, and exist to worship and farm resources for the Emperor. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E1LandOfBeastsAnastasia timeline]], a meteor impacts the earth, plunging the world into a new Ice Age while Demon Beasts began rampaging across the world. Out of desperation, the Russian Tsar UsefulNotes/IvanTheTerrible orders his court mages to fuse the people of Russia with Phantasmal Beasts, creating a new human species called the Yaga who can survive the extreme cold. However, all technological progress grinds to a halt and society regresses into a culture where the strong mercilessly prey on the weak in order to survive this brutal new world. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* Crimson Moon Brunestud and Zelretch have a grand duel against each other. The duel ends in Zelretch's victory due to Crimson Moon's unfamiliarity with Magic, but Crimson Moon survives the duel as a discarnate existence and begins waiting for the chance to reincarnate in a suitable True Ancestor. In ''Tsukihime'' timelines, Zelretch has his blood sucked by the 3rd DAA and joins the ranks of the Dead Apostle Ancestors.

Waver Velvet, a Master from the Fourth Holy Grail War now known as Lord El-Melloi II, wishes to re-enter the Holy Grail War and meet his idol [[UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat Iskander]] yet again, but is prevented from doing so.

* The Fourth Holy Grail War takes place in November of this year, depicted in ''Fate/stay night'' prequel ''LightNovel/FateZero'' which takes place in a subtly different timeline. Kiritsugu Emiya representing the Einzberns summons female King Arthur as Saber, while Tokiomi Tohsaka summons Gilgamesh as Archer. Due to the corruption of the Grail, the war ends with no clear victor yet again. Tokiomi is betrayed by his apprentice Kirei Kotomine who teams up with Gilgamesh. Kiritsugu kills Kotomine, discovers the corrupted Grail and tries to destroy it using Saber but fails to do so, dumping its corrupted contents onto Fuyuki City. The Grail grants Kotomine's desire for suffering and starts the Fuyuki City Fire, while bringing back Kotomine from the dead and incarnating Gilgamesh. The two begin waiting for the next War so they can unleash Aŋra Mainiiu onto the world for their own purposes. A boy named Shirou is rescued from the fire and adopted by Kiritsugu but suppresses his memories of his life before the fire from the trauma. For his failure and betrayal, Kiritsugu is banned from the Einzbern family grounds and forbidden from seeing his daughter Illyasviel despite his best efforts.

* ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' takes place in its timeline. Darnic and his organization Yggdmillennia secede from the Mage's Association and retreat to Trifas, Transylvania. They use the stolen Greater Grail to summon seven Servants and slaughter the mages sent by the Association to retake the Grail, but not before one of the mages activates the Grail's backup systems, allowing the Association to summon their own Servants. The Association gathers seven Masters including the disguised Amakusa and sends them to Trifas to engage Yggdmillennia in the Great Holy Grail War. Due to the battle involving 14 Servants, the Grail summons UsefulNotes/JeanneDArc as Ruler to arbitrate the War. During the war a Homunculus escapes from the Yggdillennia faction, and is given the heart of the Saber of Black, [[Literature/{{Nibelungenlied}} Siegfried]] to survive. The Homunculus calls himself Sieg in honor of the sacrifice and joins the war later on Jeanne's side. In the end, Darnic, Jeanne, and Amakusa perish in the conflict and the Greater Grail is taken to the Reverse Side of the World by Sieg after becoming the Dragon Fafnir to prevent further misuse.

* Due to unknown events in a certain timeline, all of humanity has enjoyed the boon of the Grail and a personal Servant for several years in ''LightNovel/FateRequiem''.

* ''Literature/FateLostEinherjar'' takes place 10 years after ''Fate/Apocrypha'', featuring another knockoff Holy Grail War where each summon two Servants.

For the next 60 million years little of note happens due to the Deinos' complacency, until humans eventually evolve into existence. In 6 million BC, the underground sun dies, causing the Deinos enter permanent hibernation and mankind becomes the dominant species for the next 100,000 years, establishing the technologically advanced Ka'an Kingdom. However, ORT finally recovers and begins rampaging. In their desperation, the Ka'an sacrifice themselves to the last man to empower their king Camazotz with absolute immortality. Camazotz steals ORT's heart and the Divine Filaments trick ORT into thinking its heart is still inside its body, sending it into hibernation once again. Camazotz sets ORT's heart into the sky as a second sun, reviving the Deinos, but due to mankind's extinction and the Deinos' complacency, the Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* ORT, the Ultimate One of supposedly Mercury, receives Gaia's dying call to exterminate humanity ahead of time, arrives in South America, and begins sleeping until the promised time of ''Notes'' when Gaia dies.

* [[Literature/TheBible King Solomon of Israel]] detects the deterioration of True Magic and realizes that an alternative must come up if humanity is to continue performing magic without needing a connection to the gods. He creates [[Literature/ArsGoetia the 72 Demon God Pillars]] and binds them as his familiars to watch over humanity, and uses the summoning spell Goetia as the foundation for modern Magecraft. Solomon assigns Goetia to watch over humanity in his place after he dies, but Goetia is unable to comprehend mortal life and grows frustrated by what it sees, which is further exacerbated by Solomon's refusal to teach it the beauty of mortality.

* Crimson Moon Brunestud and Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, wielder of the Second Magic, have a grand duel against each other. The duel ends in Zelretch's victory due to Crimson Moon's unfamiliarity with Magic, but Crimson Moon survives the duel as a discarnate existence and begins waiting for the chance to reincarnate in a suitable True Ancestor. In ''Tsukihime'' timelines, Zelretch has his blood sucked by Crimson Moon and joins the ranks of the Dead Apostle Ancestors.

* In the ''Fate/Grand Order'' timeline, the Fuyuki Holy Grail War takes place for the first time. Lord Marisbury Animusphere wins with Solomon as his Caster Servant. He uses his wish from the Grail to acquire funds and resources to establish the organization Finis Chaldea which is dedicated to protecting the Human Order, while Solomon wishes to live as a normal human and reincarnates as Romani Archaman. CHALDEAS is turned on and Chaldea begins adapting the Servant summoning system for his own use.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' begins in its timeline. Goetia finally initiates his 3,000 year plan in the making, the Regression Canal/Light Year Genesis, incinerates the entirety of human history, and starts using burned humans as fuel to travel 4.6 billion years into the past and remake history as he sees fit. Chaldea detects the cause of the Human Order Incineration Incident as seven pockets of isolated space-time called Singularities existing in the past throughout human history causing massive time-space distortions which invalidate the Quantum Time Locks and reduce Proper Human History outside the Singularities to a chaotic mess of mere probabilities, requiring them to correct the situation by travelling into the Singularities and obtaining the Holy Grails that sustain their existence in a mission called the Grand Order. At the beginning of the Grand Order, they are betrayed from within by Lev Lainur, host of the Demon God Pillar Flauros, crippling much of their manpower and forcing them to rely on a newcomer to the world of Magecraft as the last Master of humanity. Chaldea learns of Goetia's true identity, foils his plan, and restores humanity, but it takes a whole year to do so, which shows up as a blank period in mankind's memory and threatens the secrecy of Magecraft. They also learn that humanity is destined to perish sometime after 2016, which is why Goetia waited 3,000 years to enact his plan. Following his defeat, Chaldea enacts the Remnant Order and defeats four remaining Demon God Pillars and the Subspecies Singularities they bring forth.

* The catastrophe Goetia foresaw arrives on New Year's Eve in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' Part 2, ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt''. A Foreign God descends onto Earth, kills all of mankind and then wipes the surface of the planet entirely blank. The Foreign God plans to replace Proper Human History with a timeline where the Age of Gods never ended by planting seven Fantasy Trees which sustain pruned timelines called Lostbelts. Each Lostbelt is run/overseen by a Crypter, a former Magus of Chaldea who was nearly killed by Lev Lainur's sabotage but was saved by being frozen over, who now ally with the Foreign God to bring about a new human history. Chaldea is driven from its home base and forced onto the run, and must now enter the Lostbelts and destroy the seven Fantasy Trees to restore the proper history and stop the Human Order Revision and the Felling Theoretical Phenomenon.

* Shortly after the ending of the Fifth Holy Grail War, ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'' takes place. Aŋra Mainiiu had latched onto the DyingDream of Bazett Fraga [=McRemitz=], a Magus who was originally the Master of the Fifth Grail War's Lancer but was seemingly killed by Kotomine to gain her Servant. In this dream, Aŋra creates a world based off said Grail War and puts himself into the role of Shirou Emiya while Bazett attempts to win the Grail War, not knowing that Aŋra is doing so in order to help her. Eventually, Aŋra learns that Kotomine's daughter, Caren Ortensia, has healed and stabilized Bazett, so he ends the dream and frees Bazett, though it requires help from all the Servants within the dream.

* The events of the ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}'' are estimated to have begun at the earliest around this time, though it likely happened later.

* The events of Myth/ArthurianLegend take place, though the name and gender of Arthur varies depending on the timeline. Arthur's uncle Vortigern fights to keep Britain in the Age of Gods as its will incarnated, but falls at hand of Arthur and their Round Table. Arthur creates the kingdom of Camelot, but it falls when Arthur's sister, Morgan le Fay and the second incarnated will of Britain, uses Arthur to create the homunculus Mordred, who mortally wounds Arthur at the battle of Camlann. The fall of Camelot is permanently written into Proper Human History as a Quantum Time Lock. Arthur regrets the fall of their kingdom on their deathbed and desires the Holy Grail in an attempt to avert its fall. After being summoned into future Holy Grail Wars several times, they come to accept Camelot's end and are taken by Vivian, the Lady of the Lake and one of Morgan's alternate personalities, to sleep within Avalon instead of dying and ascending to the Throne of Heroes after returning Excalibur to her. Merlin is sealed within the Garden of Avalon by Vivian, but witnesses Arthur's final resolution and lets the Cath Palug out into the world so that it may learn the beauty of the world and humanity.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E8FairyRealmOfTheRoundTableAvalonLeFae timeline]], the six fairies decide to slack off on making Excalibur. This results in Sefar wiping out the surface and achieving its goal. The planet responds by sending the last god in the world, [[Myth/CelticMythology Cernunnos]], from the Inner Sea of the Planet to punish them. Cernunnos instead befriends them, but is betrayed by the fairies, who poison him and use his corpse as a foundation for land, becoming a new Britain. This new Britain also has a will of its own and desires to punish the traitorous six fairies and their descendants by sending disasters called Calamities every 100 years and Great Calamities every 1000 years. In 4000 BC, the planet dispatches a special fairy from Avalon, an alternate version of Morgan le Fay/Vivian the Lady of the Lake, to rectify the six fairies' sins by finally forging Excalibur, but she is slain in the Great Calamity of 0 AD, followed by the complete collapse of fairy society, leaving the land a barren wasteland. Fairies and other Phantasmals wander the land, but are unable to create any sort of society. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline due to Excalibur's importance to the foundation of human history and has it pruned.
* In an [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E5AncestralOceanOfTheGreatGodsAtlantis alternate]] [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E6InterstellarMountainousCityOlympus timeline]], the Leukosmachia ends differently; rather then being defeated by Sefar, the Twelve Machine Gods combine together and fight Sefar.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E4GenesisDestructionCycleYugaKshetra timeline]], Arjuna is traumatized by the events of the ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}'', and decides he will stop at nothing to create a perfect world with no evil so that nothing like that will ever happen again. To gain the power to do so, he decides to consume the entire Indian pantheon, starting with his friend Krishna who was the avatar of Vishnu. From there, he absorbs every Divine Spirit except for the god of love Kama and becomes an inhuman, emotionless being called God Arjuna. God Arjuna desires to accelerate the Yuga cycles and reach his new, perfect world faster but even with the Indian pantheon's power he still cannot cycle any faster than every few hundred years at best. Meanwhile, the people of India become a peaceful society but also stagnate and do not do anything out of fear of upsetting their new god and being erased from existence. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* In the ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' timeline, Kiritsugu, after Illyasviel is born, goes against the Einzbern's to protect Irisviel and Illya from becoming Holy Grails and manages to destroy the Holy Grail System, preventing any future Grail Wars. He and Irisviel take Illya and try to give her a normal life, though they have to seal parts of her powers and memories due to the Holy Grail's influence on her. This leads to a new timeline wherethe Grail War's end and Illya lives a normal life for a period of time.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E1LandOfBeastsAnastasia timeline]], a meteor impacts the earth, plunging the world into a new Ice Age. Out of desperation, the Russian Tsar UsefulNotes/IvanTheTerrible orders his court mages to fuse the people of Russia with Phantasmal Beasts, creating a new human species called the Yaga who can survive the extreme cold. However, all technological progress grinds to a halt and society regresses into a culture where the strong mercilessly prey on the weak in order to survive this brutal new world. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

Proper Human History, also known as the Chronicle Theoretical Phenomenon in the world of mages, is the great tree of timelines which the Counter Force designated as the routes with the most potential for the Human Order's progress. These timelines are secured by the Counter Force at key points in history with Quantum Timelocks, also called Human Order Foundation by the world of mages, and reviewed every century to make sure history goes along the desired the path with minor deviations allowed.

** In ''Fate/Extra'' timelines a mysterious civilization creates the Moon Cell which records everything happening on Earth, similar to the Root.

* Deep within the {{Land of Faerie}}s Avalon located in the Reverse Side of the World, six powerful fairies are tasked by the planet itself to create a weapon that acts as the ultimate defense for it. Said weapon was {{Excalibur}}, and would be kept safe unless a threat to the planet arrived that warranted its power.

* In an alternate timeline, rather then being defeated by Sefar, the Twelve Machine Gods combine together and defeat Sefar. In the aftermath, the Machine Gods are split into two groups that fight in a civil war over Zeus' desire to control mankind and eventually abandon the planet. Zeus wins and rules over the new world, one where mankind are stagnate and less people, and more like props. The planet deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* The Age of Gods completely ends. The laws of the World change from ones based on Mystery to physics based. All Phantasmal Beasts retreat to the Reverse Side of the World where Mystery still exists except the white dragon Albion who chooses to stay in Britain, while the Divine Spirits retreat to a higher plane, but they can no longer directly influence mankind. In certain regions of the world such as Britain, the local Texture remains in the Age of Gods with Mystery and True Ether still extant.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E8FairyRealmOfTheRoundTableAvalonLeFae timeline]], the six fairies decide to slack off on making Excalibur. This results in Sefar wiping out the surface and achieving its goal. The planet responds by sending the last god in the world, [[Myth/CelticMythology Cernunnos]], from the Inner Sea of the Planet to punish them. Cernunnos instead befriends them, but is betrayed by the fairies, who poison him and use his corpse as a foundation for land, becoming a new Britain. This new Britain also has a will of its own and desires to punish the traitorous six fairies and their descendants by sending disasters called Calamities every 100 years and Great Calamities every 1000 years. In 4000 BC, the planet dipatches a special fairy from Avalon in order to forge Excalibur and rectify the six fairies' sins, but she is slain in the Great Calamity of 0 AD, followed by the complete collapse of fairy society, leaving the land a barren wasteland. Fairies and other Phantasmals wander the land, but are unable to create any sort of society. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.
* In an [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E5AncestralOceanOfTheGreatGodsAtlantis alternate]] [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E6InterstellarMountainousCityOlympus timeline]], rather then being defeated by Sefar, the Twelve Machine Gods combine together and fight Sefar. Zeus rightly fears Sefar's power, and initiates a temporary recombination against their will, gaining their Authorities in the process and asserting his leadership over them through sheer power. The fusion has enough power to stalemate and repel Sefar, protecting Atlantis and Olympus until she is slain by Excalibur. In the aftermath, the Machine Gods grow tired of Zeus's dictatorship over them, his desire to control mankind, and his ultimate goal of eventually abandoning the planet in favor of continuing Chaos's directive, and decide under Hades's leadership to rebel against him to give humanity more freedom in the civil war called the Olympiamachia. Zeus wins, slaughtering half of the Machine Gods and reprogramming the survivors to be his slaves. He rules over the new world, a blissful utopia where humans live forever and are free to educate themselves yet are less people, and more like props who blindly worship him. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and has it pruned.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E2EternalIceFlameCenturyGotterdammerung timeline]], Surtr decides to rebel against his given fate by destroying not just Scandinavia, but the entire world. Surtr devours Fenrir after it devoured the sun but before it can kill Odin, gaining its Authority over ice. Due to this change in the history of Ragnarok, Odin fights and seals Surtr to create a new sun, but not before Surtr slays almost everything. Meanwhile, the blood of Surtr spilled by the Norse pantheon continues to burn, creating massive conflagration that threatens to finish Surtr's goal. The only God to survive is Skadi, who is merged with Scáthach, creating a new civilization that is forced to appease the giants, and blankets the land in magical snow laced with her energy to keep Surtr's blood at bay. Humanity becomes merely food for the Giants, and live only till they reach the age 25. Six months after the failed Ragnarök, the Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and prunes it.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E3LandOfUnifiedKnowledgeSIN timeline]], Emperor [[UsefulNotes/QinShihuangdi Qin Shi Huang]] finds the body of Nezha, an artificial being from India and Chinese mythology built using advanced sage technology. The Emperor becomes immortal by reverse engineering her body, building himself a computer, and uploading his mind into it, gaining advanced technology in the progress. China never experiences societal upheavals like in Proper Human History, advances far faster then the rest of the world and goes on to conquer it by 1200 AD, creating the "Eternal Sin Empire". Humanity lives in a state of false utopia, never developing and remaining closer to slaves who are uneducated, unthinking, and exist to worship and farm resources for the Emperor. The Counter Force deems this a failed timeline and prunes it.

* In an alternate [[Recap/FateGrandOrderS3E1LandOfBeastsAnastasia timeline]], a meteor impacts the earth, plunging the world into a new Ice Age.

Just as there are timelines deemed correct and worthy of existence, there are the failures that have hit a PointOfDivergence and deviated too far from the correct path. Reasons why this may vary; a freak natural disaster causes societal collapse, different choices were made by kings and gods to create a perfect utopia far too early, but their end result is always the same. The Counter Force at the centennial examination has judged the situation and deemed the Human Order there to have reached its ultimate conclusion with no further room for progress. To prevent these timelines from draining too much energy from the great tree of timelines, the Counter Force has a mechanism called the Pruning Theoretical Phenomenon that cuts off these failed branches and consigns them to oblivion. The timelines listed below are sorted by when they initially diverged, not when the Counter Force pruned them.
