Commentary:: This chronology contains events limited to the lands which it describes. For instance, the fact that the Dragonkill occured in 1120 ST is common knowledge yet it is not recorded here due to it having occurred outside the area. I have stuck mainly to published material and have shied away from interpretations and interpolations. If you have any questions, corrections and/or mindless trivia that you feel compelled to share with me upon reading this, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
Revisions: Given the scanty knowledge about some periods in history, this document will almost certainly be revised. If I get some more dates, then I will add them dates in. In such a case, this section will contain a brief precis of the revisions to date.

7/50 1621 ST The Red Emeror declares 1621 the Extra Full Moon Year after the fall of Whitewall [KoS].
These dates are mostly mythology and should not be relied on anymore than relying on Bishop Usher's chronology for real world history. Some measure of time has occured as Zzabur has recorded 14 825 Turnings of the Red Sands of Time between the Sun set and the Dawn [G:CotHW#1] but Plentonius's dates (and probably Zzabur's too!) are contrived and unreliable at the beginning. For example, Yelm's 100,000 year reign is actually based on a poem written after 111 ST! It is only after the Kazkurtum that we can begin to take Plentonius's dates with any credibility.
The Fall of Alkoth?
People will have noted that Alkoth appears to have been conquered several times in the course of history. Let it be known that Alkoth has never fallen and that any reports of it having fallen are due to defamatory foreigners. Instead Alkoth is so impregnable that besiegers have had to resort to allying with Alkoth using whatever means possible..
