 ==== Timelines grouped by historical period ====
-All the [[alternate history:timeline|timelines]] are listed alphabetically in each of these groups. The group the timeline ends up in is based on the timeline's [[pods/pods|Point of Divergence (PoD)]]. For example: If the timeline's PoD is in the year 1377, it should be listed on the "Dark Ages and Medieval" page. Therefore, while many timelines may span centuries or even millennia, they are listed according to //when// or //how// they started to diverge from [[alternate history:OTL]].
