U-MvC - Chronicles

Generally a chronicle (Latin : chronica, from Greek, from, chronos, "time") is a historic history of facts and incidents ranged in chronological order, as in a time line. For the most part, adequate weight is given for historically significant events and local events, the intention being the transcription of events that occurred, seen from the view of the chronicler. This is compared to a narrative or history, which sets taken events in a meaningful interpretative context and leaves out those the author does not see as important.
In modern times various modern day newspapers or other periodicals have adopted "chronicle" as part of their name. Respective fictitious stories have also taken over "chronicle" as part of their title, to give an belief of epic proportionality to their stories. A chronicle which traces world history is named a universal chronicle.
