Uther's Father

[Havard]

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.

Fair enough. Although I'm not saying Ross' version is perfect, I think you are giving the 4E team too much credit in that their deviations from Ross may have been such thought through decisions. Anyway the sources of the contradiction here is that you are moving Garbage Pits to a later date. The original date works within Ross' framework, but if you move that ahead you also need to move the other dates that cause the problems.
