Codex Alera Timeline

<< < (8/30) > >>

Priscellie:
I took it to mean "After the Battle of Calderon," or rather "After Second Calderon."

Darron:
The conversation where Aldrick claims to have been an outlaw for 18 years is on page 308 of the FoC paperback.

farraday:
Priscillie is correct, I should have included that in the post but I added those two kind of as an afterthought to pin it down in the general timeline.

Also I'm not sure my timeline should be integrated until we've hammered out the apparent discrepancy in the later half of the timeline.

 The supporting pg numbers though, which i definitely also should have included.


4y ABC Late Summer(pg 10)-Gaius leaks a letter to Kalare claiming he's making Aquitaine his heir. Tavi is sent to Appia to help Maestro Magnus.
-roughly a week later, Kalare begins positioning his forces.(pg 12)
5y ABC Early Spring(pg 42)- 7 weeks before NRS Max meets up with Tavi and Magnus at Appia, foil an assassination and head for the 1st Aleran. (pg 27)
-6 weeks before NRS Amara and Bernard arrive in Ceres(pg 76).
-1 month before NRS Tavi Max and Magnus join the 1st Aleran.(3 week travel time, pg 42, one month before NRS pg 158))Roughly in this area Isana is touring with Lady Aquitaine(pg 59).
-3 weeks before NRS Tavi "fixes" the ration cups(pg 63), Max is injured. Captain Demos stop at Wesmiston on his way to the Canim homeland(pg 15).
-1 week prior Isana arrives in Ceres somewhere around here.(estimate)
-day prior to NRS Tavi realizes Kitai is in the camp(estimate, 'almost a month' since Max was injured)
-Night of the Red Stars.  Demos raids Westmiston, Ehern pays him to take word back to Aleran.(pg 159) Kalare unleashed the Immortals, his legions begin their attack.(pg 135-136)
-1 day after NRS Seige of Ceres begins(pg 136/194). Amara hostage Rescue team that starts towards Kalare(pg 194). Isana begins healing fade.(pg 200)
-1 week after NRS 1st Aleran arrives at Elinarch(pg 213)
~*Unclear but as little as 8 days after NRS, probably 10 Ehern warns 1st Aleran that the Canim are coming. Command staff is killed by lightning. Tavi assumes command. Scouting mission.
~ 11-12 days after NRS Battle of Elinarch.(Ehern Arrived at Night, the next day the battle started was fought through the next night and ended at mid day)
~11 days after NRS(based on pg 375) Amara and the rescue team arrive in Kalare(
~12 day after NRS, Rescue Team Escapes with the Hostages, Kalarus is knocked out of the Sky, Gaius is Informed of the Hostages safety.(pg 389-390)
~ 20 days after NRS Kalarus is in Ceres with Brencis torching Orphanges.(pg 225)
~21-22 days after NRS Marcus(Fidelias) meets Gaius Sextus at Elinarch.(pg 433)
-28 days Still Healing Fade Ceres under siege, Kalarus' forces break through the wall.(pg 268-269)
-29 days after NRS Siege of Ceres is lifted. Placidus' legions come to the aid of Ceres, Fade is healed.(pg 425/429)

* There is an indistinct reference to the last dispatch from the First Lord arriving a week ago(pg 214) that is the only thing that really references when the Battle Of Elinarch might have taken place. Figures based on the battle then are slightly speculative.

Clearly though the larger problem deals with the rescue mission. On further review the rescue mission "must take place on the 28th day after NRS reference pg 428. "...(the clouds) started breaking up over the cities furthest inland the day before we reached Kalare. After two or three days they fell apart completely)." On pg 269 however referencing the last day of the Siege the clouds are still clearly in effect.

This could also be fixed by having the siege be shorter, however that more directly contradicts the story.

Shiggy:
Thanks very much for the page numbers and abbreviation clarification.  I'll add in what I can.  I did manage to print everything previous out at work, so I'll just tack your page numbers on so I can have it all in front of me.  It's easier that ALT-TABing back and forth between pages.

Aerhen:
Reading this thread.. i have to respond about the speculation to Tavi's age...

Isana has never not claimed that Tavi was not born during the time near First Calderon.  She has stated many times that he is the son her sister... conceived when both she and her sister served their time with the legions.  Her sister died during that time.. so there was no evidence to disprove that she was not the mother.. and this is the theory that she has held on to since his birth.. its what she told tavi.. its what she told bernard... its what she has told anyone who has asked about Tavi's birth.

We know from CF that Isana later decided to make Tavi look younger... and smaller for his age so that no one would think he could have been born during this time... why she ended up doing this i dont know.. because she had already affirmed who his mother was.. and it was in the records when his alleged mother was seriving her time in the legion... I dont think she ever lied aboout his age.. the only lie was in making him look younger.. and using her furies to suppress his growth and his fury faculties.

Since he has been away from her influence and those of her furies.... and those around calderon.  His biological clock started working correctly, and his fury clock began as it should have if it hadnt been surppressed at all..

There are two points i would now like to make...

One... did isana use any water crafting to alter Tavi's appearance so he would look less like the princeps... because if she did... that too is starting to wear off... but here is the more interesting one..

We know that Isana said she has one fury.. Rill.. but when she was crafting Tavi's potential into suppression, she said that Furies... plural ... around the steadholt would do it for her with but little thought on her part... why were there extra furies helping... we know that the furies in the steadholts are more violent and independant... stronger.... so why would these other furies be willing to help... unless perhaps they were drawn to Tavi's potential... and since they knew it was at this time in his best interest.... they helped...
because they recognized his bloodline...

this would also explain some of the things that tavi has been able to do... these instincts.. or senses.. or feats of strength or stamina or insight that a furyless person should not be able to do... he was not directing the furies.. but rather the furies were in some way attempting to help him...  this perhaps would explain a lot of the interesting things which have happened around Tavi..

only know.. at the end of this last book.. he is no consciously aware of these furies... and is beginning to gain the ability to commune.. command or compel them...
