Community "Timeline" Project

Is anyone interested in helping create a "timeline" of events for the entire QT series? 

*SPOILERS WILL ABOUND*

I realize many of the events have no specified time, but I still want to get things as straight as possible. I looked into different timeline creators online, but most of them demanded actual dates and few of them would be collaborative. In the end, I decided it would probably be the most simple solution to create a shared google doc and just add events in the form of a expanding table.  

Anyway, if you want to contribute, click this link:

This is wonderful! So detailed! I don't think I have anything important to add at the moment, but wanted to extend my thanks for working on this!

one question, why do we think Gen restored Alyta's earring after Irene became queen? When I read it I thought he would have been super young at the time (though I guess--he was young when she took the throng...)

And I feel the same way about the fact that Philonikes never shows up again hahaha

No particular reason. I placed the story there in the timeline because some of the things his grandfather is telling him seems more like the "basics" of being King's Thief, and so I assume it is earlier rather than later. However, the way he is speaking, I doubt he is much younger than 8-10 years. I work in pediatric communication disorders and so I'm fairly familiar with language development, although I didn't go to the trouble of analyzing language structures since I assume/doubt it would tell us anything useful. I'd love to hear more ideas if someone disagrees though! I couldn't find any evidence of when this occurred other than the fact that the King ruled in Eddis.

Glad you are enjoying the timeline!

ok, so i want to add something to your beautiful timeline--but i'm afraid to mess things up, as there is a piece that would need to change.

the pent abassador is marked having been sent home long before the Continent ships confront the Mede navy in Hemshaw.


But, Chapter 13 of TaT says, "The admiral of the fleet wrote a very regretful report to his king, calling the loss of the Mede fleet a most untoward accident. Rumor has it that Eugenedes stole the report from the diplomatic correspondence of the Pentish ambassador and read it out loud to his queen."

It must be the same Pent ambassador, right? But now that I type this I realize--this may have been stolen from him after he had been kicked out of Attolia? Does it make even funnier if that's true

I'm counting on everyone to help get this straight, so please don't feel like you are ruining anything of mine!

Tbh, I'm not sure exactly where you are suggesting I make the change. I see where the timeline has placed Hemsha, but I am probably least familiar with TaT than I am the other books and I haven't made it there in my re-read yet.

If you would like to make a comment on the google doc without changing anything, you can do so by using the comment option (but you may have to be logged in to google...not sure). Just highlight what area you want to comment on and click the bubble on the right side (see image).

Ahhh, this is a great idea! I'd actually started one on my own for fic reasons, but this is so much more detailed, I love it. I've got a couple of things to add or tweak - sadly I don't have an LJ anymore so I'll mostly keep my comments and work in the doc so I can get the replies. Thanks for setting this up!
