Timeline

This file records when events occur and how differently presented strands relate. Event text is intentionally only a compact locator; use synopsis.md for narrative outcomes and the cited chapter for exact prose.

For authoring databases and date arithmetic, Chapter 1 opens on the technical epoch 8 February 4000. Dates derived from that epoch are author assumptions, not an in-world calendar, unless direct prose establishes them. Chapters 50-58, 110 and 177 do not exist; do not treat them as skipped chapters or off-page events.

Current Chronological Endpoints

Strand	Latest established point
Earth / Thomas-Isha-Kanno	Latest explicit date: Saturday, 10 June 2028, café/home visit and evening messages (Ch.502–503). Latest local scene: later undated evening reading letters in 202 (Ch.506). Prints remain unhung; next Hero-System opening expected around 17 June 2028.
Fantasy local	Ch.510 ends at the western holding after an evening debrief, the next morning's bathhouse trial and afternoon Guild work. Pain Island remains four physical visits; Knife Island has one (Ch.501). No absolute local date or exact alignment of the Ch.509 and Ch.510 days is supplied.
Divine local	The Lifegiver makes a brief independent garden return in Ch.502, then goes back to her London apartment. Gardening debt remains 32 beds. Waykeeper's road and Worldsmith's mortal trial remain unfinished/unseen; no new Sun Father or Demon Lord scene.
Manifested London Earth	Ch.500 realises Alice's identity and begins a four-week apartment booking. Ch.502 is the following morning/day; a short paid florist trial is arranged for later that week but has not occurred. Her recorded DOB 14 April 1996 is not her divine age or a date for the current London scene. No present year or cross-world conversion is supplied.
Ian biological-local	Latest explicit full timestamp remains 20 August 2026, 07:05 (Ch.408). Ch.462 gives 21:40 and Ch.465 21:20, without dates. London does not move the biological clock by inference.

Earth, manifested London, fantasy, divine and Ian-biological time remain distinct. Explicit matches are occasion-specific; presentation order and elapsed-time comparisons establish no stable conversion.
