PREHISTORY

DATE EVENT SOURCE
15 Billion BC The creation of the Universe.  
7 Billion BC The first of the First Ones appear.  These beings (including Lorien) are truly immortal, barring accidents, and it is only later that races with finite life spans evolve.
Other races of First Ones (including the Vorlons and Shadows) begin to emerge.  This era would come to be labelled the First Age of Mankind.		 Whatever Happened to Mr Garibaldi?
1 Million BC Gateway to Thirdspace opened.  Following initial emergence of beings from Thirdspace, the gateway is sealed closed and set adrift in hyperspace. Thirdspace
  Other First Ones begin to leave the galaxy, passing beyond the Rim, leaving the Vorlons and Shadows (and various others) behind. Into the Fire
  The Vorlons and Shadows begin to wage war.  The Shadows are driven away from Z'ha'dum on various occasions, only to return again seeking out Lorien.  
  One particularly evil and violent race, the Hand, is banished from our galaxy. The Legend of the Rangers
500,000 BC The Vindrizi, a symbiote race, are created to observe and preserve the Universe's history. Exogenesis
9000 BC The last great war between the Shadows and other First Ones.  Subsequently, both Vorlons and Shadows begin covertly influencing the younger races towards their own ends; the Vorlons on the side of Order, the Shadows promoting evolution through Chaos and Destruction.  Thus began the Second Age of Mankind.  
5000 BC An unknown species begins construction of a network of jumpgates across the galaxy. To Dream in the City of Sorrows
300 AD The Centauri wipe out another sentient species on their own planet, the Xon. The Parliament of Dreams

Matters of Honor, Ship of Tears
  The Shadows provide technology to the Taratimude race to allow them to become "techno-mages", in the hope they will side with them in the conflict.  Instead, Wierden founds the Code of the Techno-mages to steer them toward peace and harmony.  Despite this, techno-mage technology is still provided to the ruling Circle of the Techno-mages from the Shadows via their various servants.

After the War, many more First Ones leave the galaxy, however the Vorlons and Shadows remain, albeit reclusively.		 War Without End, Part II
1260-1350 Valen unites the Minbari Warrior, Religious and Worker Casts and forms the Grey Council.  He also forms and leads the Anla'Shok (the Rangers) to fight against the Shadows.  (It is possible that Sinclair's girlfriend Catherine Sakai joined him in the past, and had children together.)
The Minbari begin to notice that their "soul pool" is diminishing: the souls of dead Minbari are not returning, but instead being "siphoned off" somewhere else.		 To Dream in the City of Sorrows
