Timeline

Events with check marks next to them are unquestionable. Everything else is built around those dates.

If something like "about forty years" is said, it is assumed that it was exactly forty years.

**Unknown**

* The First Corwenth Rebellion began before or during the year of - 5 AC.
* Mara died some time between 92 AC and 97 AC.
	+ Quova replaced Sice as High Sage after the latter fled in 92 AC. Additionally, after his meditation with Sice Quova spent fifty years searching, eventually meeting Tavin and his daughter Carissa. She was a child at the time. At the time of Kult: Heretic Kingdoms she is nearly a century old. Therefore, Quova must have met them nearly fifty years ago. Therefore, Quova must have killed Mara *at least nearly* two centuries before Kult: Heretic Kingdoms (fifty years of meditation, fifty years of searching, a century of growth for Carissa).
* Between 297 AC and 323 AC: Mara Valkarin, Serge Valkarin, and Tar Evanger are bound to Devourers and resume their positions in the Penta Nera. There's room for Serge and Tar to have returned as late as 326 AC.
	+ Krenze had been hiding in Thole for three years. He fled because he realized Mara's plans were a threat to all the Heretic Kingdoms. Therefore, Mara must have returned by 323 AC.
	+ It is also possible Mara returned earlier and was simply in hiding, but she is believed to be dead in Kult: Heretic Kingdoms.

## Possible Inconsistencies

* The Garulian Empire was formed about a century after the God of the Land was slain. It lasted about six centuries. Therefore, the time between the God of the Land's death and the fall of the Garulian Empire was about seven centuries. Quova became apprentice to Sice about eight centuries after the God of the Land died. Quova was Sice's apprentice for about thirty years, but Sice was discovered in the 97th year of the Theocrat's reign. If one is generous with the approximations there is some room for this, but not much.
* Jaskerson claims to have taken Taryn's ring from his corpse "almost ten years ago," but Taryn only died seven years ago. Whether that counts as "almost ten years" is a matter of opinion. It is also possible Jaskerson was misremembering it.
