[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 457004, member: 2012"] Ok, first off the story begins on the first day of the tenday right before Midsummer (FRCS pg 77) in the year 1374 DR, on the Calendar of Harptos. Thus, the day that the [i]Centurion[/i] and the two Hammerhead drop ships starcast into the system would be Flamerule 21, 1374 DR (The Year of Lightning Storms). In Part Two of Book One, Hadrhune steps out on the balcony of the High Telamont's throne room and lloks up into the night sky. This occurs when the Weave is destroyed, which one might think means the story begins at night. It does, but it doesn't. It begins during the 'middle of the night' before the day of Flamerule 21 has begun. So, Hadrhune is looking at the night sky around say 2 or 3AM. Thus, when I note that 'Mid-afternoon later that day',while introducing you to Ruby, it is later on the day of Flamerule 21. In Part Three of Book One, Elminster is speaking in Arcanum House. The part of the event that you read takes place sometime after Mid-afternoon but doesn't have a solid beginning time. The debate in the house would have been going on for hours though. Note that Hadrhune was speaking to the High Cleric of the Temple of Shadows at the same time Elminster was pleading his case to the Arcanum. Hadrhune would have left that temple, traveled to the House of Mystra in Harrowdale, encountered Storm there and journeyed back to Shade before Elminster was *finished* pleading his case to the Arcanum and teleported back to Toril with Arassil, which would be an instantaneous event. Its kind of hard to pin down. The problem is that the story isn't linear in how I am writing it. Elminster arrives back on Toril before Captain Farhand gives the order to fire but you read the part of Farhand firing first, which I did for effect, I guess. Thus, all the parts of the story set on the Centurion before Farhand gives the order to fire happen before Elminster returns to Shadowdale. And of course the parts with the Gods in the Cynosure takes place after Ao has promised Centurion to betray the world to the Imperials. Of course, he's a GOD and could have been doing that WHILE he was agreeing to betray the world. I'm pretty sure that I can say that ALL of Parts One to Four of Book One happens on the same day, Flamerule 21. For at the beginning of Part Five, we see Ruby and Finkel outside Hale's Fine Woodcarving. The text there refers to the events up until that time happening in less than one day and night. This could be interpreted in many ways, which is why I wrote it that way. I didn't want to pin-point the exact time or date. And remember it is from Ruby's point of view. So it is probably less than one day and night from the point of Mid-afternoon when you first meet her. Which means it is likely during the early evening of Flamerule 22. However, the rest of Part Five is 'hours earlier'. After this, it's going to be REALLY hard for me to pin down exact times. I'll let you know. Cheers! KF72 p.s.
