chronicle chronicles timeline timelines time

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

If you have two timelines with vastly different starts and ends, the Chronicles as a whole has potentially decades or centuries of empty space.  This means that if you are tracking something that starts and ends, like a city, war, person, etc. alongside the global timeline as a whole, it gives you the same length of timeline, even if your timeline hadn't happened yet. 

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  By giving a way to start and end, it gives a clearer visual to temporary timelines.    I made an example, though if their is an easier way to visualize it, I don't care how its done.

    That will actually look not so pretty everywhere that this timeline is rendered and there is no timeline to be seen.
