Straff Venture he/him Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 At the moment I am on the Great Hunt, and all the dates of the significant events preceding the book have passed through me. I don't want to go on a timeline somewhere else because there might be spoilers, so it would be really helpful if someone could give me the dates of these events relative to the start of EotW: When the Dark One was imprisoned, if we know that. The Breaking. The Trolloc Wars. The War of a Hundred Years. Thanks
Aethling he/him Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 We could probably dig up some dates, but they wouldn't mean much as the calendar has changed multiple times.
Straff Venture he/him Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 They don't have to be too precise, I just want some approximations so I can get a picture of WoT's history.
Aethling he/him Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Check this out. You will have to do the math yourself, but it should give you a guide. http://encyclopaedia-wot.org/main/calendar.html
Windrunner he/him Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 This might help as well, although I guess there could be minor worldbuilding spoilers in there.
Aethling he/him Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 That is a nice wiki timeline, but almost nothing is cited to say where they got the information. I almost makes me feel I am missing some valuable source.
Ryan he/him Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Don't know if you still need this, but: When the Dark One was imprisoned, if we know that. "At the moment of creation" is all we know. The Breaking. Roughly 3000 years ago, at the end of the Age of Legends. The Trolloc Wars. Roughly 2500-2000 years ago (they lasted for something like 300 years). The War of a Hundred Years. Roughly 1000 years ago, when Hawkwing's empire broke up. 1
