1000 A.D. (Chrono Trigger)

Encyclopedia : 1 : 10 : 100 : 1000 A.D. (Chrono Trigger)

---

1000 A.D. is a time period in Squaresoft's Chrono Trigger.

Time period overview

It is home to Crono, Lucca, and Marle who all reside in the Kingdom of Guardia in the northwestern continent. The Millennial Fair is being put on in the Kingdom during this time. Farther to the east resides Melchior and the Mystic Village. Cyrus and Toma's graves are also located in the southeastern continent.

Locations

The year 1000 A.D is the most populous era in Chrono Trigger's timelines. This section will provide a brief overview of each town and important location.

Truce

The Town of Truce is the home of Chrono Trigger's silent protagonist hero Crono. This town is presumed the capital of the Kingdom of Guardia. The Millennial Fair is held just north of here.

Porre

This town is to the south of the Southern Zenan continent. Porre is a busy port run by a greedy Mayor. As an optional side-quest later in the game, the party can travel to his house in the 600AD period and give the woman living there an item for free, instead of charging her. She comments on the group's kindness and remarks that she will raise her children to have the same kindness. This changes the Mayor into a generous, helpful man. The town of Porre has a large play in Chrono Trigger's sequel game, Chrono Cross, as a large military power that colonizes the El Nido Islands, as well as destroying the Guardia Kingdom.

Medina

This town lies to the east of Truce. It is inhabited only by beings known as "Mystics". These beings are somewhat like demi-humans. They are fluent magic users and are the descendants of the survivors left over from the Mystic War of 600 A.D.. The Mystics worship Magus, a magician who lead them during the War. If the player returns after defeating Magus, however, they will worship Ozzie instead. The Mystics do not take most visitors lightly, so most of the human population stay away from Medina. After completing a side-quest later in the game, and defeating Ozzie in 600AD, the Mystics will become a happy and friendly people, prompting a ferry service to be built as a link between Medina and Truce.

Choras

The town of Choras is tucked in a remote corner of the world. It is a sleepy town with no worries with the outside world. West of Choras lies the grave of the explorer Tomas, who lived in the town 400 years ago. North of the town lies the Northern Ruins, an old castle where the ghost of the Knight Cyrus haunts. After completing a side-quest Crono and Frog (also known as Glenn) put Cyrus' Ghost to rest in his grave within the Ruins, and the ruins become the Hero's Grave.

Guardia Castle

The centre of the Kingdom of Guardia. This castle is the home of King Guardia the XXXIII, current and presumably last ruler of the Kingdom of Guardia. The castle has an extensive Dungeon in which Crono must escape after being wrongly accused of kidnapping Princess Nadia (mainly known as Marle). In 1005 A.D, during the Fall of Guardia, it can be theorized that the Castle was seiged and laid to waste; the King most likely dead.

Sealed Pyramid

Though not an important location, Crono can return here and use Marle's charge pendant to release the seal on the magical pyramid-shaped barrier, revealing a Nu who will give Crono a choice of one of two treasure chests, one of which contains a powerful weapon, the other containing strong armor.

Beta version

In the Beta Version (also known as the Pre-Release) of Chrono Trigger, 1000 A.D remained almost completely the same than the Official Release. There were only two major changes: Zenan Bridge, the bridge connecting the two Zenan Continents together, is destroyed, and the architecture and the layout of the Northern Ruins were different.
