Timelines

The Eternal Reincarnation Cycle (sometimes mentioned as the Cycle of Light and Darkness, the Wheel of Life) - neverending, divided into 2 periods:


 * The period of light - the Old God is awake and all life starts all over again, when its energy is naturally exhausted, it falls asleep.
 * The period of darkness - the Old God falls asleep in the Colossal Grave underwater. The Dark Mist gradually occupies the lands and the Sendril starts spreading. The Colossi appear, but due to the nature of the cycle they fall and it somehow leads to the start of a new reincarnation. The current period of darkness has been lasting for hundreds of years (at least).

''Last Words: “... I saw divine giants falling one after another, extinguishing light that used to be perpetual. I saw the first uncorrupted life slowly germinating and bursting in a lonely and burning world. And with a loud bang, it all came to an end. Everything started afresh...”''

The Time Loop - a much shorter period of time Terrence’s trapped in. It’s created by the Old God itself. Can be broken when the 3 Seals of Yekub are brought to the Grave so the Old God can wake up again and start a new reincarnation or when Terrence kills Teresa in the Grave. The loop itself is possible due to Terrence’s obsession with Teresa and this obsession is its core: “Love… this is what brings insanity” (Gravedigger).
