Chronology[]
Other than war with Karse, which has been going on since before Vanyel, there are no indicators of the era. It is not mentioned if Valdemar is or is not using mages. Surprisingly, there is no mention of Karse using mages either. The story is about ordinary soldiers and Healers; use of magic is irrelevant, and thus the story cannot be placed chronologically.
