==General Information==

====Chrono Cross====

Another World is the name given to the [[Keystone Dimension]] after the dimensions split in [[1010 A.D.]] It can be thought of as the true history of the world; before the dimensions split, it progressed to [[1020 A.D.]] normally. In that year, [[Kid]] traveled back in time to save [[Serge]], which caused [[Home World]] to split off.

==Key Differences From Home World==

*[[Serge]] is absent, having died at [[Opassa Beach]].
*The Records of [[FATE]] still operate.
*[[Termina]] is not under [[Porre]] control until [[1020 A.D.]]
*The [[Acacia Dragoons]] are alive, though still a pawn of [[Lynx]].
*[[Fargo]] sails the [[S.S. Invincible]].
*[[Hydra Marshes]] are dead, due to the last [[Hydra]] being slain long ago.
*[[Guldove]] is led by [[Direa]], who is still alive.
*[[Water Dragon Isle]], [[Marbule]], and [[Gaea's Navel]]'s [[Dragon God (Monsters)|Dragon Gods]] are absent.
*[[Hermit's Hideaway]] is burned to the ground.

==Chronology==

<pre>
=>1010 A.D. 

-Serge is killed by Wazuki.
*Mel is born. 
*Kiki's father becomes an occultist, and places Mojo on a shrine in his room.
*Marge passes away. 

=>1011 A.D. 

-U-Fargo and Zelbess attempt to flee from General Viper. 
-U-Luccia tries to help, but ends up helping the children only. 
-U-Marcy is born. 
-U-Zelbess dies. 
-U-Fargo entrusts Nikki to a traveler. 
-U-Fargo changes his ship to the S.S. Invincible and hides it as a ghost ship. 
-U-Fargo begins attacking boats under General Viper's command. 

=>1014 A.D. 

-Leah is born.*** 

***There is common speculation that Leah came to Gaia's Navel by some warp in
time. This is not altogether out of the question, considering Gaia's Navel was
always present in the sea of El Nido, and not one of the terraformed islands
created by Chronopolis; also, two gates existed in 65000000 B.C. in Chrono
Trigger, and Kino was found atop Mystic Mountain as a baby. Perhaps Leah went
back to that era and then mothered Ayla; however, remember that this would
have had to happen before the actions of Crono as well, as they depend on
Ayla's existence, meaning if the theory is true, Leah had to return to
65000000 B.C. in the Lavos timeline or not visit Gaia's Navel at all.

=>1015 A.D. 

-NeoFio is planted. 
*It is believed that during 1015 A.D., Lynx attacks Lucca's orphanage and 
abducts Lucca in a vain attempt to release the lock on the Frozen Flame.
-Kid becomes trapped in her memory of this experience in 1020 A.D. 
-Lara apparently perishes in the attack. 
-Serge's party comes here thanks to the power of Masa, Mune, Doreen, and Kid's 
Astral Amulet.
-Serge's party saves children and assists Kid's escape.***
-Kid escapes, vowing to seek vengeance for Lucca.

***Note that Kid escaped originally, even before Serge intervened to bring Kid
out of this memory. Otherwise, this would be a causal loop - that is, Kid's
meeting Serge depends on his saving her, which depends on his meeting her, and
so on.

=>1016 A.D. 

-Dario inherits the Einlanzer.
-Radius presumably retires from the Dragoons.

-Dario dies at the Isle of the Damned due to his corruption by the Masamune. 
*Luccia loses her brother in a freak accident in a Porre lab, prompting her 
to come to El Nido. Note that this accident could be an explosion set by
Norris to destroy Grobyc's level seven tech, the StrongArm. However, this may
have taken place in either dimension as well, which would explain how an
intact arm resides at Chronopolis.
