Witcher Wiki

After a lengthy discussion with a friend I've come to the realisation that the very base of this timeline might be wrong. It all is based upon the information that humans arrived 500 years prior to the events of the books. This does however not add up with the given genealogical information. There's only nine generations of Redanian rulers. That'll be one every 55 years. In Kovir there are ~8 generations.

There are a couple possibilities 1) 500 is an overexaggeration. A Russian guy wrote a lengthy article about this arguing that the landing must've happened later, around 920, 2) The first rulers lived much longer than the ones after them (there's no real base for that), 3) Sapkowski and CDProject messed up the math and 4) Many rulers were "lost in history" and forgotten by their progeny.

Furthermore that info that the Coram Agh Tera cult was founded in 611 is some information that's not from the book and highly debatable. Putting it here is in my opinion no good idea.

Season of storms date of 1245 might not be inconsistent[]

Main reason people in fandom think this date is wrong is because they asume Geralt went straight to Vizima after events of Season of Storms while on closer reading he in fact dismisses what Cat of Ielo tells him and probably did not go to Vizima at once. It is more probable that Cat of Ielo only just heard about striga prowling and in The Witcher short story, Velerad says that striga has been haunting the city for 7 years. 1245+7=1252 making 1245 the year Geralt first heard of striga and 1252 the year he first fought it while it's also the year in which Ciri was born making everything fit. The only possible problem with 1245 is Dandelion's age of 38 in 1267/8 but since he is known to lie about that it is doubtful even Geralt knows his exact age, not to mention from what is described Oxenfurt is actually finished at ages more aproximate to high school and he could've also traveled during his tenure.
