In what year does CoT take place? I'm new to the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign, so any help would be appreciated.

My understanding is that Golarion and The Real World are on a 1 year to 1 year matched orbit. The Campaign Setting started 'canon calendar' in 4708, if memory serves. QED, CoT is set in 4709. Wife's trying to sleep or I'd check the CS.
Of course, I could be very wrong. I used Fireday, Desnus 7, 4709 as the start for mine.
I don't have the campaign setting, so take that info over this, but "Cheliax - Empire of Devils" helps with some dates.
- Page 17 mentions the shadow beasts appearing in 4676AR and that a curfew was declared which "remains in place over 30 years later". That gives a minimum current date of 4706 AR.
- The official Chelish (Chelaxian?) calendar says that House Thrune came to power in 4640AR
- The section on Westcrown's history states that Westcrown has been struggling "for nearly 70 years" since Queen Abrogail I came to power. 70 years gives a maximum current date of 4710AR, so "nearly 70 years" being just before that to 4709 makes sense.
Ah. Though in this other thread James Jacobs says
"We generally take pains NOT to officially date our Adventure Paths. It's a strength that you can play them in any order, and one thing we ABSOLUTELY don't want to do is foster the idea that you have to buy them in order."

generally.. time in Golarionpasses the same speed as it does here, so you take the date the product was released and add 2700 years to it. Thus 4709 as mentioned earlier is the default, although they don't put any date specific things in case you run your adventures as going faster or slower than the default speed.
