Codex Alera Timeline
Sebastian:
I tend to refer to stuff by season, last spring, last winter etc. and let the years sort themselves.
Shecky:
See? You both just proved that it's an individual thing. Would you argue it if your friend said "last year" in April when referring to October? No, you'd understand what they meant.
blackwolf:
As I said Sheck, I Guess that because of how we say things is different it could also be because of my confusion

Yup, perfectly reasonable. Which is why I always try to think of how others might be reading things. Not always successful, to be sure, but it does help a good bit.
Quantus:
Im looking through the epiogue and Im not seeing this refernce to Last Year you guys are talking about, where is it? I see several references to how it was six months ago (click to show/hide)"After six months, most of the feral Vord had starved to death" or later (click to show/hide)"It was the only way Alera could appear to him. In the last six months since Third Calderon she had continued fading away." The only reference to "last year" is "Last year we were marching with legions saving the Realm" which has been true since CF.
