Ser Cold Fingers Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 And my paper copy states a year and a half... Has this mistake been noticed and corrected in later editions ? My eBook says "A year ago". So I assume it has been edited and corrected in newer versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mychel_Redfort Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Looks like Bantam did a better job than Harper... It's true there are much typos in my books, but that's the first one that alters the text ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Fingerbones Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just noticed a small issue in the early part of the timeline. Dany 3 takes place on 5/10, yet it lies between 4/18 and 4/23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mychel_Redfort Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but why does the timeline have Catelyn leave King's Landing 17 days after she meets Ned, when Ned asked her to return to Winterfell at once ?

Even better yet, check out where and when she meets Jason Mallister and when Sansa spots him at the Hand's Tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Um, why does it say 'Vandal Proof'? Because people can't freely edit it, which was originally the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess lengthen the king's journey back to KL with a fortnight wasn't possible ? To synchronize with Tyrion's much longer journey to the Inn at the Crossroads from the Wall. Even better yet, check out where and when she meets Jason Mallister and when Sansa spots him at the Hand's Tourney. The Mallisters and their small group of riders made from the Trident to King's Landing in 9 days, when Catelyn and Rodrik took 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mychel_Redfort Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 And when did Yoren arrive? And what did he say about how fast he got there? Yoren arrives the day after the second day of the Tourney, so likely 3 days after the Mallisters, and he rode as fast as he could, and well ahead the other sellswords and freeriders. Could this be explained by the better quality of the Mallisters's horses ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 So I guess lengthen the king's journey back to KL with a fortnight wasn't possible ?That would create a problem with people learning about Bran. Tyrion was still at the Wall when Jon heard, yet Ned heard about Bran after he had already seen Catelyn. And Jon would have heard sooner than Ned, most likely, looking at the travel distance.

Oh yes, there lies the big problem, thank you for pointing it out. By normal raven speed, Jon should learn two days after Bran has woken up, and Ned five or six days after. But Tyrion has not left yet when Jon learns, and Catelyn has already left when Ned learns, if she left for Winterfell at once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be explained by the better quality of the Mallisters's horses ?Nope. It can be explained by a gap in the sspace-time continuum. Another possibility is that Jason entered King's Landing by the gate Arya used to board the Wind Witch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
