Kaladin's timeline[edit]

This is my attempt to establish a loose timeline for Kaladin to use as a reference for the article.

  • Is born likely around the 8th month of 1153.(ref: Peter's post)
  • Starts training as a surgeon in late 1162 (ref: Ch10 "When his father had started training Kal two years before, sights like this had sickened him.")
  • Ch. 10: Stories of Surgeons
    • 9 years ago: Late 1164
    • Kaladin's ten years old: Between late 1163 and late 1164
    • Lirin's been training Kaladin for two years
    • Gavilar is alive and kicking and warmongering according to Lirin (ref: "King Gavilar always finds people for us to fight.")
  • Ch. 16: Cocoons
    • 7.5 years ago: Early 1166
    • Approximately 2 years since Ch10 (ref: "He’s been talking about it for a couple of years now.")
    • Laral will start covering her safehand in one year, marking her entry into adolescence: not sure how old this makes her
    • Gavilar is probably still alive (ref: "That’s why the best warriors have always been from Alethkar. Highprince Sadeas, General Amaram…King Gavilar himself.")
    • Tien is 10 years old, 2 years younger than Kaladin
    • It is worming season
      • This probably means it's spring and doesn't mean much because Roshar doesn't have axial tilt
  • Ch. 20: Scarlet
    • 7 years ago: Late 1166
    • 2 months since Ch16
    • Kaladin is 13: Between late 1166 and late 1167
  • Ch. 25: The Butcher
    • 7 years ago: Late 1166
    • The Weeping is near: 10th month of 1166
    • Kaladin is 13: Between late 1166 and late 1167
    • Few months since Ch16
  • Townspeople stop paying Lirin after Roshone tells them to
  • Ch. 31: Beneath the Skin
    • 6 years ago: Late 1167
    • Kaladin is exactly 14.5 years old: Early 1168
  • Ch. 37: Sides
    • 5.5 years ago: Early 1168
    • Tien is 13 years old
    • Kaladin is 15 years old: Between late 1168 and late 1169
    • It's been 4 months since Roshone told the townspeople to stop paying Lirin
    • It's been 5 months since Ch31
      • Note: This contradicts the 4 months reference above since people definitely stop paying Lirin before Ch31, so I'm taking this as an approximate and the above definite.
    • Rillir is 2 years older than Kaladin
  • Ch. 41. Of Alds and Milp
    • 5.5 years ago: Early 1168
  • A day after Ch41, Lirin spends one of the sphere for the first time (ref: Ch44)
  • Ch. 44: The Weeping
    • 5 years ago: Late 1168
    • It is the Weeping: the last twenty days of 1168
    • Kaladin will be able to leave for Kharbranth in two months (ref: Ch44 "You’ll be old enough to leave in two more months.")
      • Kharbranth accepts students at age 16
      • Note: When Peter's post is taken into account, this means Hearthstone-Kharbranth takes 6 months to travel
    • Kaladin's tour is for 4 years
    • Tien is still 13 years old
  • Tien's death (Ch67)
    • Kaladin's third battle
    • Few months after Ch44
      • Cenn's training was 3 months, safe to assume the same for Kaladin, so at least 3 months
      • It has been less than 4 months
  • Ch. 1: Stormblessed and Ch. 47: Stormblessings
    • Ch1
      • 5 years later: 1172
      • Cenn is 15 years old, he had barely 3 months of training
      • Gavilar died five years ago
    • Ch47
      • 1 year ago: Late 1172
      • It's been 4 years minus a few weeks since Ch44: 9th or (more likely) 10th month of 1172
  • Ch. 51: Sas Nahn
    • 1 year ago: Late 1172
    • Few hours after Ch47
