The events on the clock do not appear to occur in a chronological order.
For example: the Rune of Sundering and the Rune of Vul were discovered at the same time, by Rikantus Everling, but they foretell events that happened not only very far apart, but in entirely different timelines. The Sundering of Luclin never happens in EverQuest 1's timeline, because it was avoided by Druzzil Ro's timeline reset. The Void, in contrast, is an element found in both EQ1 and EQ2, it is the Nothingness from which Norrath was formed by The Nameless. The Void is also home to the Shadow Men and Ashanti'sul, the former Prime Healer (who was succeeded by Rodcet).

Not necessarily. If you read the symbol counterclockwise (paying attention to only the symbols on the outside of the circle) it can read like a timeline.

1. Age of Scale
2. Greenmist?
3. Ratong Symbol / Underfoot creatures
4. Rallosian Army
5. Combine Empire
6. Rune of Xulous
7. Symbol of the Void / Rune of Vul
8. Destruction of Luclin / Rune of Sundering
1. Age of Scale, time of the dragons, Veeshan deposits her brood onto Antonica.
2. Could represent the Greenmmist. I believe this event happened before the Combine Empire was formed and possibly even before the alliance of the ffour gods. Is there any history of Shissar interacting with the races created by the four gods?
3. Could represent Brell depositing his creatures onto the world and the alliance of the four gods.
4. Could represent the war of the Rallosian Army
5. Could represent the rise and fall of the Combine empire.
6. Seen everywhere in Erudin, as well as Mirgul's caverns. A warped version of this symbol is seen in Paineel. We could surmise this represents the Age of Enlightenment.
7. No clue.
8. The destruction of Luclin, definitely late in the timeline.
On the other hand, if you watch this video:

the odd numbered Runes appear first, which could lead to this timeline instead.

1. Age of Scale, Veeshan Deposits her brood.
2. Alliance of the four gods, humanoid races created.
3. Combine empire rises and falls.
4. ???
5. Greenmist?
6. Rallosian army makes its conquest.
7. Age of Enlightment
8. Destruction of Luclin.
Thoughts?
