The following question contains spoilers from the WOSQ series, if you havnt read the books (ALL 5 of them) then DO NOT read below this line







YOU WHERE WARNED!



Ok RBL, RichB, ThomasR, LisaS or RAS

Any chance one (or all of you) could do a Timeline for the events in the 5 novels.

Key events Id particularly like dates for

Lolths silence
The Revolt in Menzo
The Fall of Ched Nasad
The date that Menzo was Besieged
The date Lolth returned

In the event that you dont want to do this until the last book is out (*Cracks whip in Paul Kemps direction)

How about doing a WOSQ write up similar to the Timelines in the Old FR atlas and publish it either in Dragon Magazine or the novels section of the WOTC site

Didn't Player's Guide to Faerun provide the dates for many of the events you detailed?

Yes it did, at least up to book 3 or 4. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I'm sure something like that can and will happen eventually, but not until the last book is out. And, as kuji pointed out, some of that info is already in print. I will tell you that I personally don't have much knowledge of the timelime. Phil Athans told me once the "Start" date of the story, and I think he's kept some sort of document that tracks the progress, but I've never been privy to it. Being one of the early writers, I've never needed to focus on a lot of that collateral information.
