Series time line.

[Farseer]

Well now, knowing your knowledge of LST, I'm going with you, londonlassie! This certainly makes sense to me as it did always seem apparent that the LST characters had not aged a great deal within the storyline.

So, this means then that a certain character's doings (horse purchase, receiving of gifts from a far bigger character, organising another certain someone to help take care of finances etc) *did* take up quite a bit of time between the end of LST prior to TM.

So, what do we have? Sorry, Jundra, but have to revert to spoiler tags!

At the end of AQ we have *MAJOR spoilers Farseer, LST and TM*

Spoiler

Fool leave and set up in Bingtown. This setting up takes at least two years from the time his presence as Amber became known to Brashen to the moment Brashen and Althea see Amber in her shop window, but the timeframe for the journey itself from Buckkeep to Bingtown is uncertain. Speaking of what I was trying to say without spoilers, above ^ , though she planned to 'go north' after her conversation with Paragon, it appears that it may have took some time for her to get back to the SD. What, with being gifted teapots and robes and such from Tintaglia and buying Malta and organising Jek to take care of her trading in Divvytown etc.

No time to think and have to get in that car of mine...looking forward to getting back here to see what you can all come up with. I think I need to sit down with pen and paper and draw an actual timeline after consultation with you fine folk!

More for your consideration RotE Timeline and Pre-release of City of Dragons (from post #131). Lots of spoilers in that CoD link though. There are quite a few other places where we have delved into timeline discussions but these may jog some other thoughts...
