[QUOTE="Boddynock, post: 2003106, member: 21506"] [COLOR=red]Hmm - now I've incorporated suggested changes and corrections. Tarlonniel, you are of course quite correct. Your correct dates are in RED![/COLOR] Hmm - 4 generations in 150 years - given that halflings have extended lifelines, do we count about 35 years as the gap between generations? That would mean that our 4 generations of Greenbottles have been in Amblestock for 140 years. If the Peddlefoots had the place to themselves - figuratively if not literally speaking - for the first 10 years, that on its own might be enough to explain their predominance in Amblestock. Try this: [LIST]FA 1 ([B]F[/B]ounding of [B]A[/B]mblestock) [*]FA 1 Peddlefoots [*]FA 9 Greenbottles arrive [*]FA 36 Highdumple Bakery founded [*]FA 97 Hugh Highdumple born (that makes him 13 years older than Neb & Iss and 3 years older than Talia) [*]FA 100 Talia Longleaf born [*]FA 110 Neb & Iss Peddlefoot born [*]FA 110 Break-in at Highdumple Bakery [*]FA 118 Goblin incursion of '92 (since Talia was 18 when her father was killed) [*]FA 122 Blossom Longleaf drowns (Talia is 22) [*]FA 125 Talia Longleaf and Rory Highlea marry [*]FA 130 Neb & Iss leave [*]Late FA 130 Alton Highlea born [*]FA 150 Present day[/LIST] Given the equivalence of FA118 and the goblin incursion of '92 (shall we call it 792, for argument's sake?), that would mean: Amblestock founded in 675 Present day is therefore 822 Our timeline would then look something like this: [LIST][*]675 ([B]F[/B]ounding of [B]A[/B]mblestock) [*]675 Peddlefoots [*]683 Greenbottles arrive [*]710 Highdumple Bakery founded [*]771 Hugh Highdumple born (that makes him 13 years older than Neb & Iss and 3 years older than Talia) [COLOR=red][*]772 Kiylea’s grandparents arrive[/COLOR] [COLOR=red][*]773 Tolbat Tangleweb born[/COLOR] [*]774 Talia Longleaf born [COLOR=red][*]776 Brighteyn Greenbottle born[/COLOR] [*]784 Neb & Iss Peddlefoot born [*]784 Break-in at Highdumple Bakery [*]792 Goblin incursion of '92 (since Talia was 18 when her father was killed) [*]796 Blossom Longleaf drowns (Talia is 22) [COLOR=red][*]797 Tolbat and Brighteyn marry[/COLOR] [*]799 Talia Longleaf and Rory Highlea marry [*]800 Jyn Peddlefoot born [*]801 Jerran Kimble born [*]801 Logeanisty A Logfellar born [*]804 Neb & Iss leave [*] 804 Kiylea Tangleweb born [*]Late 804 Alton Highlea born [*]824 Present day[/LIST] 'Nock [/QUOTE]
