Timeline of Ninjago

The history of the Timeline of Ninjago is a list of the important events records in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu.

Light vs Darkness; the First Battle of Ninjago

 * The First Master of Spinjitzu forges the Golden Weapons in the Temple of Light with gold from the Golden Peaks.
 * With the weapons, he creates Ninjago.
 * The First Spinjitzu Master also creates the Serpentine and the Realm Crystal.
 * His counterpart, though, evil (the Overlord), manifested itself in the shadows, and declared war to decide the fate of Ninjago.
 * The Stone Wars: The Overlord creates the Stone Army to combat the First Spinjitzu Master, as well as the Temple of Fortitude to fortify against the Golden Power.
 * The First Spinjitzu Master splits Ninjago in two parts (Ninjago and the Dark Island), with the Overlord banished to the Dark Island, leaving the ultimate battle between good and evil yet to be finished.

The Sons of the First Spinjitzu Master

 * Garmadon is born as the first son of the First Spinjitzu Master.
 * Wu is born as the second son.
 * Garmadon and Wu spar one day, but Wu loses one of the katanas over the wall of their monastery. Afraid of their father's disapproval, Wu chooses not to go after it, but Garmadon does. In the process, he is bitten by the Great Devourer, and becomes ill as its evil venom starts to affect him.
 * Wu and Garmadon learn Spinjitzu from their father.

The First Spinjitzu Master's Death

 * The First Master of Spinjitzu dies, but first leaves a hidden message for Wu that will lead him to his final resting place where the Realm Crystal is hidden. The element of Creation is passed on to Wu. The venom in Garmadon's veins continues to gain control, and Garmadon begins to develop the element of Destruction.
 * Garmadon goes to Master Chen to train with Clouse, and later, Garmadon gains the title Lord (as Chen's right hand). Wu finds Morro, and trains him.
 * Morro dies in the Caves of Despair and his soul is banished to the Cursed Realm.
 * The Serpentine War begins. Garmadon and Wu and the Elemental Masters fight the Serpentine, and eventually gain an advantage that wins the war. The Serpentine are locked away in their tombs, the Anacondrai generals are banished to the Cursed Realm, and Chen and Clouse are banished to an Island far from Ninjago (due to their role in the war).
 * Garmadon marries Misako, and later has a son: Lloyd Garmadon.
 * The evil in Garmadon begins to take over, which mainly manifests itself in the form of overwhelming greed. He returns to the Monastery of Spinjitzu to steal the Golden Weapons in an attempt to recreate Ninjago in his own image. Wu confronts him, and after a short battle, the combination of the four weapons and a protection spell (a series of symbols on Wu's gi) opens a gateway to the Underworld, where Garmadon is struck down to. As he fully succumbs to the evil in his veins, Garmadon battles Samukai (leader of the Skulkin) for command over the Skulkin army, and easily wins (becoming the ruler of the Underworld). Wu realizes that Garmadon will stop at nothing to get the Golden Weapons, so he hides them away in secret locations, each guarded by a dragon. Wu then makes a map of the four secret locations, and gave the map to a trustworthy friend to keep.
 * Misako drops off a young Lloyd at Darkley's Boarding School (in a precognitive precaution), so she can go find a way to prevent the father and son from facing each other.
 * Dr. Julien builds Zane, the first Nindroid, and builds the Falcon as a companion. Years later, Dr. Julien erases Zane's memories as his death approaches. Zane becomes an orphan, but Dr. Julien is soon revived by Samukai to construct vehicles for them (being reunited with his son as ransom). When he agrees, the Skulkin take him to a Lighthouse Prison guarded by a Leviathan, to force him to design their vehicles. After he successfully complies with their demands, the Skulkin do not release him from the prison, and leave him there.

Encouraged by compassion for his sister, Kai agrees to train in the art of Spinjitzu under Wu's teaching to become a ninja.

 * The ninja tame their Dragons and head to the Underworld.
 * Samukai and Sensei Wu fight for the Sword of Fire, but Samukai wields the three other Golden Weapons and wins.
