Community Suggestion: Add a 'Time' Component to the Map Markers in Chronicle
Add a 'Time' Component to the Map Markers in Chronicle
Feature Upgrade · Chronicles · Created by Avendir
accepted
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
The World Chronicle has been extremely helpful with planning history, but once I add a marker, I can see it regardless of where I am on the Timeline. This leads to some maps becoming cluttered when too many markers are added. It would either require multiple variants of the same map or accepting the clutter.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
It would allow us to select when a Marker is visible based on the Timelines. For example, if a settlement is established in the year 111, the marker for that settlement only appears if you are past that year on the Timeline.
What are other uses for this feature request?
If you wanted to catalog the events of a war, or other events on a map, you can have them present during the relevant moments in the Timeline.
The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! This is planned for the next major update to chronicles.

on 2026-03-24 17:12Whilst this sounds like a difficult thing to put in it would be a really useful feature. It could also used to allow writers to add markers for characters that would change over time to show a pictorial representation of their travels.

on 2026-03-22 05:14Agreed. I think this would have to come with a Show All toggle just so you can find something if you lost track if "when" you stuck it somewhere.

on 2026-03-19 10:05Oh I like the sound of that. Being able to configure 'show from X to Y' per marker could allow for a dynamic map feeling as you go through time.
