Mickey Finn:
We need one.

Go get 'em, Ray.

novium:
just generally speaking, I wish this board was a little bit more lively, and less of a bored. :-P

Shiggy:
I'll get this started, and we can add to it.

Stolen from the Dresden Timeline
Let's make a system.  We don't know specifically what years these events take place, so let's say "Furies of Calderon" takes place in the year 0, and every thing else is either BFC (Before Furies of Calderon) or AFC (After Furies of Calderon).  You're welcome to replace my acronyms with something more clever!

Page numbers refer to the US hardback editions of Furies of Calderon through Cursor's Fury.

Priscellie:
This is great!  Well done, April!

IIRC, the battle in FoC is called "The Second Battle of Calderon."  I'm trying to find a date for First Calderon and coming up blank, but for some reason I feel like it was within two years of Tavi's birth.  I might be completely making it up, though.

We should probably be able work up some of the timeline for Fade and Miles, as well.  And I think Kitai's age is mentioned somewhere.  This promises to be fun!
