+ | == questions about some date inconsistencies in the Artifacts Cycle == |
I have been reading through the Artifacts Cycle and am puzzled by some date references. In chapter 5 of ''Planeswalker'', Ratepe says that Urza was born "three thousand, four hundred and thirty-seven years ago" (page 68). If Ratepe (and author Lynn Abbey) is correct, that means the primary (non-flashback) events of ''Planeswalker'' take place in 3437-3438 AR. But in chapter 9 of the following book, ''Time Streams'', the dates given for the establishment and destruction of the Tolarian Academy are 3285 and 3307 AR, respectively (page 122), despite the fact that those events must take place after the conclusion of the events of ''Planeswalker''. Either the authors made a mistake, or (arguably, in-universe) the teachers who taught Ratepe were incorrect. The timeline here on mtgsalvation clearly trusts the dates given in ''Time Streams'', but it would be nice if there were some kind of comment clarifying the date that is clearly given in ''Planeswalker''. It should probably also be noted on the Timeline page that the graphical time line presented just before chapter 1 of ''Planeswalker'' is also inconsistent in some ways with the actual events and dates recorded in ''Planeswalker'' (for example, the graphical time line says that Urza and Xantcha met in approximately 1700 AR, which is in stark contrast to what is said in chapter 5, which strongly suggests that they met in approximately 300 AR). It seems some additional notes are needed on the Timeline page to clarify some of these apparent discrepancies. If I can figure some of this out more definitively I will happily edit the page myself, but if anyone knows some of these details better than I do, I'd be grateful if they would add some further commentary. --[[User:Mtgqualitycontrol|Mtgqualitycontrol]] ([[User talk:Mtgqualitycontrol|talk]]) 03:38, 18 September 2016 (UTC) |
