According to the realms timeline Halls of Stormweather and shadow's witness happen in the year 1371 with Lord of stormweather happening in 1373. When does the Erevis Cale trilogy take place?

Erevis Cale trilogy takes place after all the Stormweather books. In fact, it should be only a couple of weeks after the last one. I'm not sure of the exact date, however...

I know this question has come up before. Perhaps in the Paul Kemp thread. Considering how early in 1373 LoS starts, I do belive Cale's trilogy begins in the same year as DDH mentioned above.

That sounds right to me. I don't have my research materials handy, but I believe the Cale trilogy does indeed start in 1373, not long after Lord of Stormweather.

SPOILER FOR TWILIGHT FALLING\LORD OF STORMWEATHER




Paul, correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't Twilight Falling open up more or less directly after the events in Lord of Stormweather? It's not precise in my mind but I seem to recall that Cale is just leaving Stormweather and saying his goodbyes following the death of Thamalon the elder, and seeing that his life can no longer continue the way it has been? I think I placed the opening of the events of Twilight Falling within a matter of days of the closing of Lord of Stormweather.

I'm not sure if Twilight Falling takes place within a matter of days of LoS.I was thinking possibly a few weeks after.

That's the impression I got. Recall, Tazi left at the end of LoS and was present again for Twilight Falling. Thus, I think at least a few weeks if not a couple of months have passed between novels.

Weeks? What is this strange term you use, Sirius? No doubt you mean tendays.

Anyway, TF starts hard after Tazi's return from her adventures in The Crimson Gold. So, relative to LoS, I'd suppose that TF starts about a month later.

Hope that's helpful.

It's a code. I'm sure Cale would understand such usage.

It does. Thank you for the clarification.

Ahhhh, of course! I forgot about Tazi's ventures over in Thay! Thanks Paul
