Frontier Wolf Timeline and map

So I have it handy, and just in case anyone else should want it.  Text in italics only happens in the book.  The rest is history, or at least, history as she do appear in Wikipedia.( Read more... )

More dates:

They spend five days with the praepositus visiting (Alexios goes to "the down-at-heel room he had taken over five days ago when he turned out of his own quarters for the new Praepositus," after he kills Connla.) Per canon, Castellum is four days to Bremenium, six days to the wall. At Habitancium, Alexios says that it is "odd to think that only ten days or so ago, life had been normal."

So this would put the beginning of Montanus' visit on December 12, and the death of Connla on the 17th? Maybe?

Thank you! I have updated. I didn't check the exact times in Dec 343 as carefully as I should have as I am writing backstory.

Could I ask if you think it would be reasonable for Julius Gavros to arrive in Britain in 337AD? I have given him a couple of years campaigning in the Lowlands before the reorganisation that shoves him off up to Castellum, since Hilarion seems to suggest that Gavros has not been with the Ordo all that long (no sooner do we get a commander into our way of thinking, etc etc).

Thank you for putting all this together, BTW. :)

Seems like a reasonable supposition to me!

Oh good! I wasn't sure if the idea of having him come to Britain only 5-6 years before Alexios had the wrong vibe, but I'm glad you think it is workable!

Bless you, I've been meaning to do this for ages--will you put up some version of it on the Sutcliff wiki?

I plan to do so! Probably need to disentangle some of the more remote historical events and tidy things up a bit.
