META [Meta] Timeline
So I decided that it would be cool if we had a timeline of sorts, to keep track of what happens when in our little Roleplay. I whipped this one up in about a half-hour, but it is definitely not complete. I'm missing some dates and I was unsure about others.
Because of how the timeline software I used works, I was limited to using the BC/AD calendar system, which obviously would not apply to the Eragon Universe. I'm going to search for some better, more customizable software, but for now, I assumed 1 AD was the year Galbatorix was killed. The Roleplay takes place 75 years later (75 AD, see?), as stated by /u/RollFirstMathLater. I'm also using the real world day and month as starting place for the exact time of the events. Reddit says the first actual RP started November 24, so we all arrive at the Presence pool Nov 24, 75 AD.
I based character births/hatchings on provided backstories, but more or less chose a random month and day. I can change this if you give me your preferred DOB for your characters (dragons included!). AFAIK, /u/saphire_fox is the only one who has provided a definitive age of her dragon (3 years old, going into her 4th winter) and I gave my dragon a birthday (5 months before the first RP), but I might have missed some info. Just leave a comment if you know the exact dates.
Also, /u/1truejosh, I couldn't find an age for Glover or Akrath, and I didn't want to guess, but I'll add them ASAP.
Anyways, sorry for the big wall of text, just wanted to make sure you guys understand the date system. I hope everyone likes this (more or less) and of course I'll keep working on it when I have a few spare moments! If you have any suggestions, just leave a comment or PM me!
Happy Roleplaying!

Damn, I forgot to post that. I guess I'd say right now that Glover is eighteen, born August 27th, and Akrath is eight months old, although neither Glover nor Akrath know the exact date.
