Uther's Father

[aldarron]

The problem here is that while the 4E timeline is pretty much a copy and paste from David Ross' Timeline,..

Except it really isn't. The 4e timeline is clearly based off Ross, and does cut and paste a good bit of text, but if you carefully compare the two you will see there are quite a few differences, divergences and changes. In our particular case, the Ross timeline merely gives a range of 1002-1005 for the period in which Bakula ascends to the co-regency and Sildonis becomes Wizard of the Wood. The 4e timeline contradicts this giving the earlier and more specific date of 1001.

...you are altering one date and getting in trouble because of it.

I'm not the one altering dates Havard, unless you mean altering from Ross. I followed what it says in the printed material and what the original players have said. Ross is a fan work and at times it is simply inaccurate, but perhaps more to the point subsequent Blackmoor publications have revised or replaced his guesses.

While I prefer the earlier dating of Garbage Pits as per Ross, a pretty easy fix could be that Ra-All the Wise had two sons, one being Bakula and the other being Uther's father, both ending up on the Council. Bakula then, not having any offspring, died leaving noone to inherit any noble title for Vestfold, making that a kind of neutral ground.

It is interesting seeing Al-Haza here, though I thought he the main villain in AiF? Sort of an odd choice for an Andahar?

-Havard

Yeah, Al- Haza could be Bakula's brother. I haven't tried to specify his exact family relationship. In AiF he isn't a villan at all. He is simply a wizard in a tower, given as an example of "an average wizard's dwelling once he has achieved sufficient wealth and importance."
