Chronology[]
1395 AF Gaven arrived in Valdemar with a mercenary company, alongside the Skybolts who arrived that year.
Note: "He'd not been one of Kerowyn’s Skybolts, but he’d come to Valdemar with one of the mercenary companies."
Undefined, but soon after. Gaven quits mercenary life and joins Valdemar's Guard.
Note: "quickly secured him a place with the Valdemaran Guard."
Undefined date. Gaven gets stationed at Trindon.
Seven years later. Present day.
Note: "Seven years now" since arrival in Trindon.
The Present day is somewhere between 1402 AF (assuming an immediate move to Trindon after arriving in 1395 and immediately joining the Guard) and no later than 1405 AF, when Ancar dies.
Note: "Ancar will move sooner than your Queen thinks."
