For fun I included all dominarian sagas, ones in Bold are from Dominaria United.
-- Prehistory -- The First Eruption - The formation of Shiv, arguably the first event, unless Shiv was formed after the Elder Dragons, whichs eems doubtful The Elder Dragon War - Started when Vaevictis Asmadi attacked Nicol Bolas' domain
-- The Thran -- Phyrexian Scriptures - I interpreted this as the formation of Phyrexia, but you could put it later to represent Phyrexia preparing for the Invasion? Fall of the Thran - The Thran Empire is destroyed
-- The Brother's War -- The Antiquities War - The Brother's War begins Yotia Declares War - I guess this kinda happens at the same time as the Antiquities War breaks out as Yotia was directly involved in its beginning Founding the Third Path - The Third path is founded on Terisiare that sought neutrality in the Brothers' conflict
-- The Ice Age -- Time of Ice - The ice age begins, due to Urza using the Golgothian Sylex The Cruelty of Gix - The saga shows Xantcha, so I assume this is Gix attempting to recapture the rogue sleeper agent Xantcha? As with many sagas it's not super clear cut if this is even supposed to represent a single event or, more likely, an entire saga surrounding a character or lengthy event, could even be as early as the Brother's War as Gix was involved then too, just not Xantcha. Song of Freyalise - I assumed this was a reference to the world spell, but maybe it's supposed to represent her ascension? I don't even know. I guess you can put it anywhere between here and the Mending of Dominaria as that is where she dies. The Flame of Keld - Keld is founded The World Spell - Cast by Freyalise, ends the ice age
-- Before the Invasion -- History of Benalia - Benalia rose from the ashes of the Sheoltun Empire, which collapsed after the Ice Age. The Weatherseed Treaty - Multani offers Urza the weatherseed from which the Weatherlight was built (grown?) Love Song of Night and Day - I mean, this is a poem so it doesn't really have an associated event, but if you broadly refer to the Mirage War (because the card sets covered that era and the flavour text mainly shows up in Mirage and Visions), then I guess it goes here
-- Phyrexian Invasion -- Urza Assembles the Titans - Urza recruits planeswalkers to launch a counter attack on Phyrexia The Phasing of Zhalfir - Teferi refuses to be part of Urza's squad and phases out Zhalfir Triumph of Gerrard - Gerrard sacrifices hismelf to destroy Yawgmoth, ending the phyrexian invasion
-- The Otarian Arc -- The Mirari Conjecture - Karn leaves the Mirari on Otaria to observe its people, but it drives people mad with power and it was a whole mess Chainer's Torment - Chainer supercharged the Mirari and/or his own dementia abilities and turned hismelf into a writhing mass of nightmares
-- The Rift Era -- The Eldest Reborn - Nicol Bolas returns from the dead by... taking over a body of hismelf from an earlier point in time? Don't ask, lmao The Mending of Dominaria - Several planewalkers sacrifice themselves (or other planeswalkers) to close the rifts, Dominaria -and the entire Multiverse- begins to heal
-- Modern Age -- Rite of Belzenlok - The cabal attempt to summon the Scion of Darkness, but they got the wrong number and summon Belzenlok, who shows his thanks by taking over the cabal Braids's Frightful Return - Another group of cabal tries to summon Braids. Unlike the other cabal they are successful but all of their heads popped when Braids returned. The cabal establish themselves as incompetent saturday night cartoon villains
