The Dragon Reborn Timeline
From Tar Valon Library
Revision as of 05:29, 21 December 2021 by Ilverin Matriam (talk | contribs)
This is a breakdown of the timeline and all the events happening in each chapter in The Dragon Reborn. The main story in the book begins in the spring, few months after the end of the events in The Great Hunt.
The following assumptions have been made:
- The Great Hunt ends around the month of Danu, 998 NE, and the beginning of The Dragon Reborn is said to be around the beginning of spring, which would make the events start in the month of Saban 999NE, almost a year after departing from Emond's Field.
- On Bel Tine it is said spring should have fully arrived, which would make the 'beginning of spring' around the beginning of Saban, and Saban 5th is chosen as starting date.
- It takes Perrin, Moiraine and Lan three more days (after Moiraine helps with the fishing) to reach the town of Jarra
- After Jarra it takes them around 20 days to reach Remen
- Whenever there are multiple points of view in a chapter, it's assumed the events are happening at the same time, or at least closely together.
For a broader timeline, please check The Wheel of Time Timeline.
The following timeline shows characters and groups that got split after the battle at Falme in the previous book. Later they split during the current book too. The following colors were chosen to represent the different fractions:
