The fact that Alatar and Pallando arrived in SA 1600 rather than the Third Age is based on discarded writings of Tolkien which, as the two never really came into issue in the west anyway, I used to develop the East and the South quite differently (as Asia and Africa, respectively).FOME DM TimelineAL = Age of the LampsAS = Age of the StarsFA = First Age of the Sun (ca. 590 years)SA = Second Age of the Sun (3441 years, ca. 4431 years running)TA = Third Age of the Sun (3021 years, ca. 7416 years running)FO = Fourth Age of the Sun (62 years at start, ca. 7478 years running)FA 1    Men awaken in the land of Hildórien, now known as Kydor.SA 100    Elves return to the ancient land of Cuiviénen, now known as Que-Rin.
