12000 B.C. (Chrono Trigger)

Encyclopedia : 1 : 12 : 120 : 12000 B.C. (Chrono Trigger)

The world map in 12,000 B.C. after the Ocean Palace disaster.

12,000 B.C. is a time period in Squaresoft's Chrono Trigger.

It is also called the Dark Ages and is a utopian time period in one sense and dystopian in another. The world has been left to die; the ice age surface of the world is populated by the non-magic users called "Earthbound Ones," while up in the sky are floating landmasses upon which those capable of utilizing magic (called "Enlightened Ones") live. The skybound Kingdom of Zeal is where the heroes meet Schala as well as other important characters, and where much of the story is developed. While the floating kingdom of Zeal may seem like paradise, there is something sinister going on under the surface, and many of the inhabitants seem powerless to stop the evil Queen, despite their ability to use magic.

After the fall of Zeal the skybound kingdom is hurled into the sea and all that remains is the Last Village on a desolate plain along with some other small landmasses.
