Has anyone tried to work out a timeline of Nualia's movements prior to the Swallowtail Festival of Rova 4707? I'm trying and having a hard time sorting out just where she was at any given time.

We know from the Timeline in the Campaign Setting that Jervas Stoot's murders occured in 4702; and from Burnt Offerings that they occured over the course of a single winter month; Kuthona, perhaps. Stoot "began planning" his murders (BO p.9) in response to the runewell's activation which suggests he didn't carry them out immediately, so let's take the multiple references to "five years ago" as reasonaly exact and say the runewell reactivated during Rova 4702.

Burnt Offerings also says that less than a month after Stoot was found out, Nualia burned the old chapel and secretly escaped to Magnimar. So, that should put her arrival in Magnimar sometime in the 4702-4703 winter.

Also, she was in a coma after her miscarriage at seven months, but I can't find anything to suggest how long that coma lasted.

In Magnimar Nualia enlists the Skinsaw Men to track down her fugitive lover and kill him; no information on how long this takes or what else she may have been doing for some three and a half years. Burnt Offerings p.45-50 indicates that both Lyrie and Orik were recruited by Nualia in Magnimar, but there's no indication of how recent that was. We know from BO p.51 that she made at least one trip to Magnimar after setting up shop at Thistletop.

"A year ago" (Burnt Offerings p.20) Tsuto joins "Nualia's group" in Magnimar; this implies Nualia has already become important within the group by the autumn of 4706.

Now back up to the runewell's activation: Rova 4702. Karzoug wakes up, looks around and begins recruiting new agents, in particular the lamias. Xanesha spends four years exploring Varisia before she settles in Magnimar, and apparently in very short order she's found the Skinsaw Men, become their leader, recognized Nualia's potential and given her a sihedron medallion. No indication whether Tsuto was already involved with "Nualia's group" at this point.

Sometime in the past year, not later than spring 4707 we assume, Nualia relocates to the smuggler's tunnels under Sandpoint, breaks into the catacombs and begins "many months" training under Erythium. While there she gets a vision of Malfeshkenor and relocates to Thistletop, but we don't know how long she's been there.

When the runewell flared to life, Nualia miscarried and entered a coma. That same night Lonjiku Kaijitsu tossed his wife Atsuii to the rocks. Atsuii's death was wrongly identified as Chopper's first victim, of which his killing spree was a month long. A month after the killing spree the chapel burns, caused by Nualia awakening from her coma and starting the fire.

In case it helps, here's the timeline I had written for my campaign:

4624: Foxglove manor is built

4644: Vorel Foxglove’s ritual to become a lich is interrupted by his wife Kasanda. Vorel, Kasanda, their young daughter, and all the manor’s servants die in the chain reaction.

4665: Sandpoint is built.

4673: Lonjiku Kaijitsu’s father inherits the Glassworks and seals off the smuggler tunnels.

4687: Jervas Stoot moves to the island north of town. Traver Foxglove and his family move into Foxglove manor. Later that same year, his wife Cyralie gave birth to their son Aldern (they already had two daughters).

4693: Traver Foxglove kills his wife and then commits suicide.
