Codex Alera Spoilers / Re: Codex Alera Timeline
« on: December 15, 2006, 05:28:57 PM »
Priscillie is correct, I should have included that in the post but I added those two kind of as an afterthought to pin it down in the general timeline.
Also I'm not sure my timeline should be integrated until we've hammered out the apparent discrepancy in the later half of the timeline.
The supporting pg numbers though, which i definitely also should have included.
4y ABC Late Summer(pg 10)-Gaius leaks a letter to Kalare claiming he's making Aquitaine his heir. Tavi is sent to Appia to help Maestro Magnus.
-roughly a week later, Kalare begins positioning his forces.(pg 12)
5y ABC Early Spring(pg 42)- 7 weeks before NRS Max meets up with Tavi and Magnus at Appia, foil an assassination and head for the 1st Aleran. (pg 27)
-6 weeks before NRS Amara and Bernard arrive in Ceres(pg 76).
-1 month before NRS Tavi Max and Magnus join the 1st Aleran.(3 week travel time, pg 42, one month before NRS pg 158))Roughly in this area Isana is touring with Lady Aquitaine(pg 59).
-3 weeks before NRS Tavi "fixes" the ration cups(pg 63), Max is injured. Captain Demos stop at Wesmiston on his way to the Canim homeland(pg 15).
-1 week prior Isana arrives in Ceres somewhere around here.(estimate)
-day prior to NRS Tavi realizes Kitai is in the camp(estimate, 'almost a month' since Max was injured)
-Night of the Red Stars. Demos raids Westmiston, Ehern pays him to take word back to Aleran.(pg 159) Kalare unleashed the Immortals, his legions begin their attack.(pg 135-136)
-1 day after NRS Seige of Ceres begins(pg 136/194). Amara hostage Rescue team that starts towards Kalare(pg 194). Isana begins healing fade.(pg 200)
-1 week after NRS 1st Aleran arrives at Elinarch(pg 213)
~*Unclear but as little as 8 days after NRS, probably 10 Ehern warns 1st Aleran that the Canim are coming. Command staff is killed by lightning. Tavi assumes command. Scouting mission.
~ 11-12 days after NRS Battle of Elinarch.(Ehern Arrived at Night, the next day the battle started was fought through the next night and ended at mid day)
~11 days after NRS(based on pg 375) Amara and the rescue team arrive in Kalare(
~12 day after NRS, Rescue Team Escapes with the Hostages, Kalarus is knocked out of the Sky, Gaius is Informed of the Hostages safety.(pg 389-390)
~ 20 days after NRS Kalarus is in Ceres with Brencis torching Orphanges.(pg 225)
~21-22 days after NRS Marcus(Fidelias) meets Gaius Sextus at Elinarch.(pg 433)
-28 days Still Healing Fade Ceres under siege, Kalarus' forces break through the wall.(pg 268-269)
-29 days after NRS Siege of Ceres is lifted. Placidus' legions come to the aid of Ceres, Fade is healed.(pg 425/429)
* There is an indistinct reference to the last dispatch from the First Lord arriving a week ago(pg 214) that is the only thing that really references when the Battle Of Elinarch might have taken place. Figures based on the battle then are slightly speculative.
Clearly though the larger problem deals with the rescue mission. On further review the rescue mission "must take place on the 28th day after NRS reference pg 428. "...(the clouds) started breaking up over the cities furthest inland the day before we reached Kalare. After two or three days they fell apart completely)." On pg 269 however referencing the last day of the Siege the clouds are still clearly in effect.
This could also be fixed by having the siege be shorter, however that more directly contradicts the story.
