The golden age of humanity dawns on the Backrooms. The line between magic and technology becomes blurred, and an arms race between the Splinter and the M.E.G. has started to form…

This canon contains the glorious future of mankind, all that could be achieved in the Backrooms. Anything is possible, from teleportation to superintelligent AI. The Frontrooms themselves may finally be within reach, but after coming so far, why go back?

What is the Industrial Canon?

The Industrial Canon is considered to be a canon about the revolution and renaissance of technology across The Backrooms, and the events that came with it. The line between technology and magic has blurred, to the point where at some points it is unable to be differed.

What are The Old Era and The New Era?

The Old Era are events which happen during the rise, such as the development of The Officinarium. The New Era can be considered the aftermath of these events, with times which are much more foggy.

What are One-offs for?

Basically, let's say you wrote a tale you won't expand on, which holds no significance in the lore. From there, you could put those here. This also works for joke tales. Typically, One-off's are humorous, though this isn't always the case.

Can I contribute?

Feel free to, it's an open system. Make sure your work is greenlit, and follows the timeline of the canon itself.

Timeline?

Check next collapsible

What time period does this have to fall under?

Anything in "Old Era" must fall after the development of The Officinarium, as that is the first project, and before 2023. Anything under "The New Era" can fall after those time periods, which can be immediately after, to any point in the future.

What are the limits?

The "Old Era" is much more focused than the "New Era", and all entries must be within the scopes of early development. For a rule of thumb, it should be somewhat powerful, but shouldn't break everything. Exceptions do apply, but they must be controlled exceptions I.E. The Everything Machine. Spin-offs just have to fit in the spot they are in, and not break anything.

What is the "New Era" meant to represent?

Simple; it's the time period following the end of the Old Era. You are not required to include everything within the Old Era in your New Era. Your New Era interpretation is just that; an interpretation of events. Take a path which fits you.

Which "New Era" timeline is correct?

Thats up to reader purview. Multiple can be correct in-universe, or none at all. Take your pick.
