Exalted Eras

This is my best attempt to order the eras that appear in Arms of the Chosen, What Fire Has Wrought, Fangs at the Gate, Heirs to the Shogunate, Many-Faced Strangers, and the Out of the Ashes, Charting Fate's Course, and Sworn to the Grave previews. I tried to keep inference not directly supported by the text to a minimum, although there are a few guesses (notably the placement of the Interregnum). This is also partially supported by answers from Vance in the Ask the Devs thread, but only the ones I've seen.

The "unordered" sections are those eras that I can confidently place in that era but not much more specifically than that.

With Many-Faced Strangers, I have begun adding page references. At some point in the future I will go back and add them from prior content.
