On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

Thanks.

How exactly do you do the Dwarf calendar? Did Valaya bless the Pillars in Year 0 or Year 1? Because Year 0 would make calculating the age simpler to manage, but the Dwarf army book seems to say that she did it in Year 1.

My best supposition is she requested they be built at the beginning of year 0, and they finished them beginning of year 1.
 
Just about done with the timeline.

You chalk it up to luck when she traces the etch marks in the proper order, then grow interested when she does the same for the Rune of Warding and Light. Then you are shocked, internally of course, when you catch her mouth mumbling what looked like the chant almost on reflex. The words are wrong, not even close really, but the tone, the intonation, the rhythm are scarily accurate for an eight-year-old.

Turn 7, when Snerra's age was first mentioned, was in 27 B.P. Snerra should have actually been born in -35 B.P. She should also be 307.

Ill threadmark it after I get home from the dentist. I should point out that it may be prudent to note that everything in Dum happened in a far shorter timespan for those there than what passed outside it. North is wack.
 
@soulcake or potentially @MrHobbit, on the topic of timelines:

Suppose a dwarf was present at the Betrayal at Karag Dum. They survived until the expedition avenged the Karak, then traveled with the rest of the survivors to Kraka Ornsmotek, and are now working at Kraka Grom.

How much time has passed for that dwarf, from the Betrayal to present?

Also, random lore question for anyone who might know: is there any actual difference in meaning between "Karak", "Karag", and "Kraka"?

Can't confirm, but I imagine it's like how certain names (I only know of this happening in Eastern European ones, but it could be elsewhere) have different suffixes depending on who the name belongs to, but still mean the same thing. Probably just a Khazalid grammar thing.

I think Karak is just a mountain, Karag is a mountain hold, and no idea about Kraka. Or I have those reversed... It might be karak that's a hold, and karag that's a mountain. But In think they are separated like that.

At most four centuries. But I believe it is less than that. I would say that the war over Karag Dum lasted around two centuries. I can't find any mentions of Valka's age at the Betrayal or before it, but I would guess a century at most.

Which Incursion is this talking about @soulcake? Because the Polar Gates fell at around 1076 B.P. I guess this means when the Siege of Kraka Drakk began, around 84 A.P. Or would the Incursion be when Valaya commissioned the Pillars?

Karak Dum campaign pt 9, so that seems about right. She was around 300 when it started I guess.

In Part 9 of the Karag Dum campaign, as he said. Snorri also guessed her to be about five centuries old when he first saw her.

It's near the end of the update, right after Igna shows back up and just before Gazul does.

Five centuries of life, two of which she has spent living in a perpetual state of war, are all that save her from the axe blow that would have surely sent her to her Ancestors. As it is the blade's edge only meets the horn of her helm, cutting it off completely, but before the Queen of Karag Dum can retaliate her would-be attacker's head is removed from his shoulders by the glowing hot edge of a longsword. The now headless corpse falls to the earth numbly, and Valka realizes that a trail of bodies has cut through the enemy to reach her position, the cause now standing before her.
