Dresden Files: Series Timeline

[Praeceps]

Vignette should probably be labelled as after Death Masks since Bob mentions Harry is a "foe of the footsoldiers of Hell" which likely is talking about the Denarians.

1959 (≈41 BSF) Rate of pay for wardens is set.

“I thought you were getting another paycheck now.”

I sighed. “Yeah. But the rate of pay was set in 1959, and the Council hasn’t given it a cost-of-living increase since. I think it comes up for review in a few more years.”

“Wow. That’s even slower than City Hall.”

Vignette should probably be labelled as after Death Masks since Bob mentions Harry is a "foe of the footsoldiers of Hell" which likely is talking about the Denarians.

...except that he encounters a minor soldier of Hell in FM in a situation where they have clearly already had previous dealings, so this is not definitive.

To fill in some early history from TC:

The Red king is about 4000 years old, making his birth/rebirth at around 3000 bc

The White Council moved their headquarters to Edinburgh in the "just under five hundred years" ago, putting it in the mid 1500's


This ones a bit more shaky without more JB clarification, but:
The White Council has been around since pre-roman times, which based on google research puts it before 753 bc if we take pre-roman as the Roman Republic/  Before that there was a roman kingdom, but it was a province of the Etruscans before that (founded most likely around 800bc but maybe as early as 1000 bc as a small trading settlement).   The problem is that we know its older than that, but not how much older, unless we want to use the beginning of the Iron Age as the cutoff, which would have been about 1200 bc in that part of the world.

Hum, I wonder if it's worth noting that the White Council is pre-roman at a time when that was Etruscan, and the White Court speaks Etruscan?  Like did the White Council form in reaction to the White Court?
This might need it's own little thread....

Sure you don't mean 2000bc?

...*facepalm*   What is this math you speak of?  If ida wanted schooling ida gone to school.

Question about harry's summoning circle that came up in the Book club:

The first one was copper, went to silver after DM, was still silver as of SmF, but was "pure copper" in TC.  Typo or deep hidden meaning/unexplained events?

[Chuck Chuck Razool]

Not that it was needed, but I've just found absolute proof that Heorot comes before SmF.

Harry calls Gard Sigrun when she's patching herself up.

Sadly, Harry reveals that he was lying his ass off a few pages later when he goes downstairs and it's the big reveal of Little Chicago.  He's been using most of his money on getting all the pewter casts made of all the buildings in the city.  He even makes some smart-ass comment about them actually not paying too badly for being out-of-touch wizards and all.

Which, actually, makes me think - Little Chicago seems important enough to merit an entry... We know Harry's been working on it for a good while when we first see it - I don't have the text to hand (mea culpa), but it ought to be fairly clear when he started it.

What do you think?

Well, we know his first Warden paycheque was in DB, so it kind of has to start between DB and PG.

Re: Vignette.

Harry refers to Murph as Lieutenant Murphy, putting it before PG. Also probably before Harry let Murphy fully into the loop, solidifying their friendship because of the formal way he refers to her.
