Wow! I missed this book. It finally gives us a fixed timeline, even if excessively long and sparse. It also undermines any reason for the rituals of the Mahjarrat on Gielinor to have occurred in the past more frequently than every 500 years.
Lorehounds actually guessed this frequency between the release of Curse of Arrav on July 21, 2009 and its confirmation in PFTH 41 on August 5, 2009. Assuming the 18th ritual upon Gielinor occurred in 180 V, we now have a pretty good estimation for the date of the first ritual: 420 II.
I can’t tell if there’s any obscure hint hidden in the two calendar discrepancies both by 17 years.
EDIT: Also, if Reldo’s dates are correct and rituals occurred every 500 years, then the ritual closest to Arrav’s birth occurred in 632 IV. I always assumed that Zemouregal’s invasion came fresh off a ritual, but the new calendar forces us to reconsider either the time from a ritual that Zemouregal spent preparing the invasion or the dates surrounding the foundation of Avarrocka.
