Dresden Files: Series Timeline
Tsunami:
I think there is a way to implement that, i'll have to take a look at it and see if its practical.
For starters you can simply use the zoom function in your browser. At least with Firefox.
The problem with zooming is that you won't be able to make out individual events or durations. I mean, it would be about 700 years compressed to one screen... pretty cramped.

I was just checking something for another thread and when I looked here, I'm wondering how often a wizard comes into the magic before the age of 10? Based on the timeline, Carlos Ramirez was between 4 and 8 years old. His birth is given as 16-19 BSF and the trial is between 11-12 BSF. In DB Carlos seems to say that he was an apprentice at the time of Harry's trial. (top of page 375 of the hardback)
I thought that most Wizards tended to initially manifest in the early teens (basically the same time as puberty kicks in), but I may just be imagining that.
Or was there a correction to Carlos' birth somewhere that I missed, maybe? (or is this an unintentional slip in the book?)
Joefoe:
I think it depends on whcih trial, I always took it as the trial during summer knight, which would have had him at about 18 or so I believe but Cillie may know more about it

Jim clarified this point:

IE, Ramirez. :)

Harry's fight to prove his status as a Wizard in Summer Knight--the trial set by the Gatekeeper--is also referred to as a "trial" several times throughout the book.
Quantus:
I was wondering, do we know when the original Merlin was around in the dresdenverse? The setting for Arthurian legends can vary pretty widely. I was thinking about the whole ammoracchius not being reforged thing and I was trying to figure out how long it had been around before the Merlin was given care of it. Plus it seems like a fairly central historical point, at least as far ans the BC is concerned.
