Time allotted for Downtime

[Erez Ben-Aharon]

How much time should I give for the rebuilding of the citadel in between adventures of Age of Ashes? Is there a 'timeline' for the AP (whereas by X number of days until book 6, etc.), or is it really wide open so that the characters could potentially complete upgrading the entire citadel in between book 1-2?

It really is wide open.

While at times the events in specific adventures might seem to be pressing, the machinations of the Scarlet Triad have been going on for years, and they aren’t on a particular rush toward their end game. You should make sure the players have plenty of time to return to their home base, particularly between adventures, to rest, recover, and rebuild.
