Hello, everyone. I've decided for fun to create a timeline of events that happen in Golarion, including all adventure paths and modules. It'll take me awhile to go through everything, but its a fun little adventure all the same. Right now Its mostly just a personal project, and I'm using the Aeon Timeline free trial to organize stuff, but I digress.
I've come across a strange discrepancy, and I'm sure I'll find more, but what makes me curious about this first one is that it comes not only from the same book, but from the same chapter.
In the "Inner Sea World Guide," the chapter on Belkzan mentions in the history section:
"The Hordeline, when it was grimly constructed in 4515 AR by demoralized soldiers and desperate farmers, was a sad affair."
Later, in the section on Trunau, it says this
"When the Hordeline was breached 200 years ago..."
Now, the weird thing here is that, according to the chapter, the Hordeline was constructed 196 years ago, considering the "current year" is clearly stated to be 4711 AR in the earlier chapter of the book. I could see that maybe the Hordeline didn't last for very long, but the book, and they rounded up to 200 from 196, but I can't be certain because the book never explains anything about the Hordeline's destruction. It just says that it was a "sad affair" and then immediately goes on to talk about the next line of defense after it (which has no erection date, and isn't even named)
So, from face value alone, the Hordeline was so crappy that it was destroyed before it was even finished. I'm going to assume that it was pretty much almost immediaely knocked down. Is there any official word on what happened to the Hordeline and when?
