I noticed the timeline thing right away. Rurouni_Kenshin Send a noteboard - 17/09/2010 07:15:49 AM

The timeline is seriously horked or our understanding of it is
* In this chapter Mat has been clearly in Caemlyn from between 4 to 10 days and yet 'rumours' clearly point to this being sometime after Egwene being raised. (It has to be more then 3 days since Mat was attacked by footpads in Caemlyn 3 days ago. It can't be more then 10 since Mat is surprised that the Gholem could make it there that fast; Vanin could make it in 10 days.
* This disagrees with Steven Cooper's timeline which has Mat around a month behind Rand and Egwene, but does agree with how tGS is structured in the end.
* This also means Verin went almost directly to the tower and didn't have much time to distribute her letters.
* Someone needs to check Rand's PoVs where he sees Mat in Caemlyn.

ToM is largely caught up to the end of tGS by Chapter 8
* Chapter 8 is apparently after tGS.



I was surprised that he was so up to date. If Caemlyn's going to make even a handful of cannon for Mat then there's gonna be more time between the beginning of the book and the last battle than I expected.
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.

Disagree. Mat is still off. Can't really point out why... - 17/09/2010 05:12:55 PM 750 Views
He was just slightly off. Much, much closer than TGS though. - 17/09/2010 05:19:07 PM 744 Views
That golden haired woman in the inn (Clare?) is Birgitte in disguise. Mark me. *NM* - 17/09/2010 09:51:28 AM 388 Views

Seems like Verin and Moiraine are already on balance scales. - 17/09/2010 05:17:35 PM 804 Views
It's either Verin or Elayne and Moiraine, but... - 17/09/2010 05:22:06 PM 809 Views
