Vryce Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Wow, thank you EB! This week I'm going to begin to reread the series, as I have DWD coming in the mail. Now I can read it in chronological order. Well done, no small feat! I'm looking forward to seeing any future updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Blackfyre Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Posting only so I can bring this closer to the front pages to be able to find it since the search function is disabled.EB, I am with you on this as I was planning to do this too and was directed to your timeline. I have almost finished my first read of Dance, and when I do will be going back and reading Feast and Dance together to try and piece out a timeline. I'll give you my notes when I'm done so we can compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodooqueen126 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ok, so I finished my global reread and timeline... By the end of Jaime chapter in AFFC Roslin Frey still hasn't given birth to a child that was conceived at the Red Wedding so less than 9 months have passed since the Red Wedding. and Cersei must send assassins after Bronn 9-10 months after the riot in which Lollys was raped... Also at Sansa's Wedding to Tyrion she says that she will turn 13 as the Moon turns, since this wedding was supposedly on the 30th of November 299, then doesn't that make her birthday the 30th of December? How did you derive 15th of December?<BR> Also can't wait till some clever and industrious person does a timeline that includes events that occured in ADWD.

voodooqueen126 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ok, so I finished my global reread and timeline, and there are several points that I cannot remove (here is my spreadsheet file with relations between dates):In AGOT, Tyrion comes back from the wall way too fast, and Catelyn moves up from KL way too slow, yet it is necessary for them to meet in in the crossroad innCersei knows about Tyrion Waters some three months after he is born, yet, it's hard to compress the timeline further so the riots happened 3 months later.In AFFC, Cersei burn the tower of the hand a lot of time after Tywin's funeral, that does not make much sense, yet it has to happen after ASOS Arya 13 and the rape of Saltpans.Stannis arrives at the Wall extremely fast, considering when he gets the news, yet I had a hard time making it longer, as he needs to rescue Jon, and Jon cannot fight Mance for months.Sam, due to the speed of ships, should arrive in Oldtown very late in year 300, yet by then, the captain of the huntress tells him that Cersei is still in command and the Redwyne fleet is still bogged down somewhere. I guess it could fit if Cersei were to somehow become free and reassign the fleet elsewhere, but it's a bit far fetched. Compressing time would mean, yet again, teleporting ships, and even then Sam needs to synch with Arya, and this means not being in synch with Cersei, arg...(...)January01/01/300 ASOS Tyrion 7 Morning of Purple Wedding01/01/300 ASOS Sansa 4 Purple Wedding.

voodooqueen126 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Great work, EB. Can I give few corrections I can see on first read? Arya is born early in the year, not in November as you list. She certainly turns 11 in year 300 because we know she is 10 at Harrenhal in year 299, and she is still 10 when she boards the Titan's Daughter in year 300. However because she is already 9 at the welcoming feast (or at least during Robert's visit and before Bran's fall) we know her name day has already taken place in year 298. This puts her name day before Myrcella's, Bran's, Robb's, Jon's, Margaery's, and Sansa's. While it can't be pinned down if her name day takes place before or after Rickon's, Joffrey's, Tommen's, or Daenerys' it is clear she has a early year name day.Also, you have Jon's name day taking place before Bran's and therefore Robb's. I have Bran's taking place before Robb's because of he is 9 well before the fall of Winterfell and his and Rickon's supposed deaths - the news of which reaches Riverrun only a few days after Robb turns 16. Jon obviously has his name day celebrated after Robb's because Catelyn thinks Jon was conceived after Ned leaves her pregnant and goes off to war in the south.edit: also the first time we read of the comet is in Bran's last chapter in A Game of Thrones on page 610 in the US hardback, not in Daenerys' chapter where she burns Khal Drogo and MMD. That is not to say it is earlier, but it is not first mentioned for Bran's timeline in ACoK.Anyway, that's my first read of it. Wonderful work, if I see anything else I'll post it later. Perhaps I should post a thread on the work I've done on name days? Anyone interested?OK, I went ahead and posted a new thread on character ages. Hope someone else finds it interesting.Any hint as to when Tommen's birthday is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragginstoned Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I congradulate everyone here on the great work. People worked really hard on all this its obvious.However, why do we assume months are 30 days long and years have 12 months and 365 days?Could it be that Westeros is on a 28 day month, with 13 months to a year and 364 days to a year assuming no leap days etc? It seems like a more natural calander to follow for that type of society.does this model change anything for people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series can be a bit confusing since the chapters (due to whatever style choice) are not placed in chronological order. This presents a challenge to us the reader to know when events are happening for each of the characters, until you look at it more in depth.

Human pregnancies are 40 weeks (roughly) or 280 days. 280 days is 10 lunar months.So with the 5.5 month pregnancy (unviably premature birth) you get 11 extra days with the lunar month model...Might be enough... barely.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. If it was about 3 times the size I might be able to read and decipher it. It looks convoluted enough for the story. Trying to fit the story to a timeline is futile because it's impossible for the author to really take proper account of time. Inevitably licence must be taken and the reader must suspend disbelief and accept the tale as presented. Still it is good to get an overall idea of whether things different events fit in relation to some rough approximation of chronology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scythian Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Errant Bard, two questions. 1) Why did you put Arya's last chapter so late in 301?2) Seems like Cersei's chapters in AFFC should cover a lot more time (about 6 months instead of 3), then the problem with the Redwyne fleet will be solved.

voodooqueen126 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think post should be pinned up to it is such a useful reference tool.And I agree that since the Jaime chapter in ADWD mentions that the Bracken siege of the Blackwoods began half a year ago indicates that not much time has passed.
