Dresden Files: Series Timeline

[denelian]

does it say how old Molly is in SmF?
that may set her age back on track... (i would go look, but i lent my copy to my boyfriend's roommate...)
or it may change when the b/day story took place?
don't mind me, i get goofy ideas that i can help and then its never helpful

Priscellie, I never realized what the "timeline chick" meant, but....wow, I'm very very impressed. You've done your home work! Thanks for making them, very cool addition to the boards and understanding the dresdenverse in general.

Her age isn't given in SmF, but in "It's My Birthday Too," she's "just out of her teens," which only works with the WN "missing year" chronology.  If we go by DM/PG chronology, she should be 19.  At least he's consistent about his error.

The Timeline is as much benefit to JB as it is to us

Hey, I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I think I can get an approximation of the founding of the Knights of the Cross, or at the very least the forging of Amoracchius.

"A" is a broadword, and is the only one of the Three that has not been modified, meaning it's always been a broadsword. broadswords were developed and used as early as 1000 A.D., so unless it was the progenitor of all broadswords, Amorrachius (and possibly the Knights) is no older than a millenia (+/-)

Doesn't work if it's Excalibur, though; Annales Cambriae records Arthur's reign as 519 - 537 [ Badon to Camlann ]. Though Gildas records Badon as 570, the year of Gildas' own birth; there is some flex there, but not five centuries.

Wait - do the Annales Cambriae actually refer to Arthur as a king?

I have not got the actual text to hand, but IIRC it refers to Arthur fighting for three days and nights at Badon, to Arthur and Medraut(Mordred) dying at Camlann, and to Merlin going mad at Arderit, which is a location with more variant spellings than I care to count.

Also, I checked, and I was misremembering about Gildas; he notes that he was born in the year of Badon and he died in 570, which makes him more in keeping with the record in Annales Cambriae than I thought.

Maybe it is not an error, we know she was taken in PG, but do we know how long she was gone int he Nevernever?  Does time there work at the same rate as the rest of the Dresdenverse?

It's certainly a possibility, but... I think we would have found out if she was in Arctis Tor an entire year!  Or even the 2+ months, which would be enough time for Molly to have the two birthdays.

You have WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS!!

Yes.  Yes, I do.  And this is why I'm a beta.

[BookLover♥]

Yes.  Yes, I do.  And this is why I'm a beta.

So, if we have lots of time we can be betas?

What I thought was odd about Molly and Arctis Tor is she says she has no memory of events from about (I am guessing) from her getting jumped at the Carpenter House to Harry and company saving her from the evil Fetches. What happened during that time? There may have been time travel or time dialation. Murphy lost a day at Arctis Tor. I think Molly is speeding up time for herself so she will be 21 sooner and old enough to drink.
