References and Notes

  1. She is judged to be no older than 7 in 300AC by Lord Bracken [aDwD|48]. [[Tytos Blackwood|Her father]later confirms that she is actually 8 years old [aDwD|48]. Being 8 years old in 300AC gives Bethany the option of having been either (1)7 turning 8 in 300AC, placing her birth in 292AC, or (2) 8 turning 9 in 300AC, placing her birth in 291AC. No further specifications can be given. However, since Lord Bracken believes that Bethany cannot be older than 7, it seems unlikely that she was born in 291AC and thus would have been turning 9 later in the year. This eliminates option (2), and places Bethany’s birth in 292 AC.
