the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
--- Quote from: Uilos on July 24, 2008, 12:31:54 AM ---"A" is a broadword, and is the only one of the Three that has not been modified, meaning it's always been a broadsword. broadswords were developed and used as early as 1000 A.D., so unless it was the progenitor of all broadswords, Amorrachius (and possibly the Knights) is no older than a millenia (+/-)

Doesn't work if it's Excalibur, though; Annales Cambriae records Arthur's reign as 519 - 537 [ Badon to Camlann ]. Though Gildas records Badon as 570, the year of Gildas' own birth; there is some flex there, but not five centuries.

Wait - do the Annales Cambriae actually refer to Arthur as a king?

I have not got the actual text to hand, but IIRC it refers to Arthur fighting for three days and nights at Badon, to Arthur and Medraut(Mordred) dying at Camlann, and to Merlin going mad at Arderit, which is a location with more variant spellings than I care to count.
Also, I checked, and I was misremembering about Gildas; he notes that he was born in the year of Badon and he died in 570, which makes him more in keeping with the record in Annales Cambriae than I thought.

Maybe it is not an error, we know she was taken in PG, but do we know how long she was gone int he Nevernever? Does time there work at the same rate as the rest of the Dresdenverse?

It's certainly a possibility, but... I think we would have found out if she was in Arctis Tor an entire year! Or even the 2+ months, which would be enough time for Molly to have the two birthdays.
