Prehistory

Unknown he Fritz family comes into power as the ruling family of the tribe of Eldia.
1003 B1 Ymir, a young slave of the Eldian tribe, gains the power of the Titans from an unknown anomaly, becoming the Founding Titan.
c. 995 B1 The king of the Eldian tribe, pleased with Ymir's power and accomplishments, takes her to bear his children. Ymir Fritz leads the Eldian tribe against Marley at the command of their king.
990 B1 Ymir Fritz defends her king from an assassination attempt at the hands of a Marleyan soldier, choosing to succumb to death from her wound. The king of Eldia feeds Ymir Fritz's corpse to his daughters Maria, Rose, and Sheena, who inherit Ymir's power of the Titans. Ymir Fritz's consciousness survives in the paths, a metaphysical timeless space where she creates the bodies of Titans and carries out the commands of the living royal family through the Founding Titan.
Unknown Ymir's daughters bestow their power of the Titans unto their grandchildren, leading to the eventual creation of the Nine Titans. The Founding Titan remains with the Fritz family while the eight remaining Titans are inherited by lesser Eldian families subservient to the Founding Titan and the royal bloodline. Those who inherit the power of the Titans are destined to die after 13 years as Ymir did due to a phenomenon called the "Curse of Ymir." The Nine Titans continue to wage war against the nation of Marley, taking control of the continent and gradually transforming the Eldian tribe into the Eldian Empire. Eldia conquers countless other civilizations as well using Pure Titans as cheap weapons of mass destruction. This results in massive casualties and entire cultures being wiped out.

Eventually, in-fighting breaks out between the various Eldian families for control over the eight Titans, but the Fritz family, using the power of the Founding Titan, maintains balance.

The Ackerman clan, an Eldian bloodline resulted from the Eldian Empire's fiddling with the Subjects of Ymir, becomes the sword and shield of the royal family, remaining close to Eldia's king for generations.
c. 370 B1 Allegedly, Eldia wages war against Marley through Titan assaults at the "Fall of Lago", the "Devastation of Monte", and the "Ravaging of Valle", resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Marleyans.

History

c.240 An epidemic leads to a significant drop in the worldwide population. With the power of the Founding Titan, the King of Eldia alters the biology of the Subjects of Ymir to give them immunity, and no Subject of Ymir dies to the epidemic.
Unknown - c. 743: The Great Titan War Karl Fritz, the 145th monarch of the Fritz family, inherits the Founding Titan and succeeds his predecessor as the monarch of Eldia. Ashamed of Eldia's history of genocide and civil war, Fritz conspires with the Tybur family, an Eldian house possessing the War Hammer Titan, to bring about Eldia's downfall. The Tybur family fabricates the story of a Marleyan man named Helos to instigate the Eldian in-fighting and serve as a hero for the oppressed people of Marley.

Karl Fritz gathers most of the Fritz royal family to Paradis Island, Eldia's last remaining undisputed territory, and moves the capital to that island, abandoning the conflict between the eight other Titan houses. He also invites Asians from the Shogun clan of Hizuru.[20] Some Fritz royals disagree with the King's decision to abandon the war, and remain behind in the mainland.[ In the King's absence, the other eight Houses wage civil war.

The surviving Marleyans took advantage of this and incited a rebellion. The Tybur family is the first to side with the Marleyan uprising.

Over the course of the war, the Marleyans succeed in gaining the power of six more of the Nine Titans possessed by Eldia: the Colossus Titan, the Armored Titan, the Female Titan, the Beast Titan, the Cart Titan, and the Jaw Titan.

Using the seven Titans, Marley gradually gains control of the continent.

King Fritz uses the Founding Titan to create and order countless Colossus Titans to form the three concentric Walls�Maria, Rose, and Sheena�to protect the remnants of Eldia.
c.743 In order to stop the war, King Fritz sends a false message to the people of Marley, demanding that the surviving Eldians must be left alone or the Colossus Titans will "flatten the entire Earth." The Great Titan War ends. The nation of Marley would retain control of a large portion of the world beyond Paradis Island throughout the next century, using the power of the Titans.[27] Hizuru's reputation is tarnished due to their association with Eldia.

The Eldians who did not flee overseas would become low-class citizens of Marley, forced to live in internment zones separate from the rest of the population.

After gaining control over the mainland, the Marley government promotes the story that Ymir Fritz had gained the Titan's power through a deal with the "Devil of All Earth," who was slain by their hero Helos during the war.

King Fritz informs both the Fritz family in Marley and the Tybur family that he has made a vow renouncing war to the Founding Titan, and that there will be no retaliation if and when Marley chooses to enact a final solution against Eldia. However, he asks that he and his people should be given a brief age of peace before their retribution.

The King uses the power of the Founding Titan to erase the memories of the Subjects of Ymir. The Subjects successfully forget their history, but minority groups not sharing the majority's common bloodline such as the Ackerman clan and the Asian clan are unaffected by the mind wipe. Many of the minority groups swear to secrecy at the King's request and gain noble status, but the Ackerman and Asian groups give up said status, turn against King Fritz, and are hunted down.

For the safe-keeping of the Founding Titan, the royal family lives in hiding as the noble Reiss family while another bloodline takes the place of the Fritz family as a false monarchy.

The 145th Fritz King, now the First Reiss King, creates an underground cavern where the Founding Titan can be passed down to successors within the royal family. Some time afterward, a chapel is built above the entrance to the cavern.
743 According to the traditional history taught in Paradis Island, this is when the entire human race except for the inhabitants of the island was devoured by the Titans.
Unknown The Titan Biology Research Society is founded in Marley. After researching the nature of the Titans and the Subjects of Ymir, they determine that the power of the Titans is carried across "paths" invisible to the eye, with all "paths" coordinating at the Founding Titan. The people of Marley name the Founding Titan the "Coordinate" of these paths. Plans are made for underground districts within the Walls, but these plans are eventually abandoned at the behest of the Church of the Walls.
c.780 A homeless Eldian girl is given the name "Ymir" by the leader of a cult of Ymir Fritz. The girl joins the cult and becomes a figure of worship.
c.785 The cult of Ymir is found by the Public Security Authorities of Marley. They are led through Marley in chains and are exiled to the borderline of Paradis Island[43][44] where they are all turned into Pure Titans.

c.830-832 The Marley government turns its attention to the natural resources abundant in Paradis Island. In order to conquer the island without provoking King Fritz, the Marleyans decide to train specially selected Eldian children to make use of the seven Titans in Marleyan possession, becoming Marley Warriors. After hearing of Marley's plans through information from the Owl, Grisha urges Zeke to join the Warriors as a double agent.
832 Zeke learns that the Public Security Authorities are coming close to finding the Eldian Restorationists. On the advice of Tom Ksaver, seven year old Zeke turns his parents in, gaining Marley's trust. Grisha and the Restorationists are arrested by the Public Security Authorities. After torturous interrogation at the hands of the Marleyans overseen by Officer Kruger, the Eldian Restorationists are sent to Paradis Island. Many of the Restorationists, including Dina Fritz, are turned into Pure Titans. Kruger turns against the Marleyans before Grisha was to be killed, revealing himself to be the Owl and an inheritor of one of the Nine Titans. In his Titan form, Kruger kills the soldiers of Marley.

Kruger informs Grisha of his past, the nature of the Titan's power and the "Curse of Ymir," and his desire to see the Founding Titan retrieved from the Walls. Grisha reluctantly accepts the duty from Kruger, turning into a Titan and eating Kruger, inheriting the power of the Attack Titan. Grisha transforms for the first time and uses the Attack Titan to safely reach the Walls.
