Timeline of POV's in my story so far

For the purpose of making things easy I will say that Eragon left Alagaesia 6 months after he killed Galbatorix and is now the end of winter.I might, when I take my break at chapter 10, restructure all the POV's so that they are at the same time.There is not much pointing reading this unless you are confused about the timeline of my story so far.

Chapter 1 (Much ado about meetings)

Eragon's first POV is set in the first two days after Firnen/Arya left; it is night at the start of the chapter and daytime by the end.

Chapter 2 (A fitting place for a storyteller)

Eragon's POV is set about 8 hours after his POV in chapter 1. It is still day-time but by the time he has finished his statue it is night-time again.Murtagh's POV is set about 4 months after the king is killed. It is the start of winter, nearing the end of the day and the entire mini episode goes for about an hour.

Chapter 3 (A shade or two darker)

Nasuada's perspective takes place about 6 and a bit months after the king is killed and obviously at almost the same time as Eragon's perspective in Chapter 2. The PoV spans two hours and is set just after the sun goes down (twilight.)Orik's perspective is a few days before Nasuada's, which in turn is 6 months after the king is killed. The POV starts in the morning and ends in the afternoon/evening.Arya's perspective is around the same time as Nasuada's. It spans from late afternoon to twilight. Takes place 6 and half months after Galbatorix is killed.

Chapter 4 (Humbling Experiences)

Eragon's POV starts around midnight. He has to do many things and eventually by the time he gets back to the Talita it is 5pm the next day. His perspective ends the day after this around the middle of the day.Orik's perspective is set two days after Arya's perspective last chapter. It starts in the morning and ends around midday.

Chapter 5 (Freedoms in Chains)

Murtagh's POV is set about a month after his first POV, so five months after the king was killed. Just after the sun sets, his perspective starts and finishes up about an hour later.Arya's POV is set about a week after her dream of the shade. Initially at the start of her perspective it is around midday. By the time they get to Nadindel it is evening and the sun is about to set. The next day they set off before dawn and arrive at the borders around a few hours after dawn. 6 months and three weeks since Galbatorix was killed.

Chapter 6 (The Approaching Age)

Roran's POV is set about 6 months after the king is killed. His perspective spans a whole day, from morning to night. This is tightly fitted in between Eragon's first perspective and Arya's and Nasuada's perspective in chapter 3.Eragon's POV takes off almost immediately after his last POV in chapter 4. It starts around midday and ends an hour after the sun goes down.Nasuada's POV takes place around midday and then ends at twilight. In the context of the rest of Alagaesia she had her meeting around Arya's perspective last chapter.

Chapter 7 (Life is Learning)

Murtagh's POV is set two weeks after his second POV. So that would make it 5 and ½ months after the king was killed. It starts around midday, late morning and then finishes up at twilight.Saphira's POV (which I will redo) is set a few days after they depart the deserted town, so that makes it around 10 days after Arya and Firnen left them. The POV starts around mid-morning and then ends at mid-afternoon.

Chapter 8 (The Knife's Edge)

Eragon's POV is about a week and a half after his last perspective, a week after Saphira's POV last chapter. The first part of his POV is at this time, around midday to afternoon. The second part of his POV was two days past his first POV, around morning to just before lunchtime. The third part of his chapter was a week after his second POV part, around twilight and goes for about an hour. 6 months and 17 days since Galbatorix was killed.Arya's POV is set a few days after her last POV in chapter 5, her perspective lasts for about an hour and takes place in the morning and finishes in the morning. Just a few days before they pass the mark of 7 months free of Galbatorix's rule.Orik's perspective is a few weeks after his last perspective in Chapter 4. Enough time to settle things after his meetings and then about two weeks to travel all the way to Orthiad. It lasts for about an hour and is around midday.

Chapter 9 (Gratitude)

Roran's POV is set two weeks after his last POV, which in turn was about 6 months from when Galbatorix was killed. The first part of the POV is in the morning, and only lasts for about an hour, if that. The second part of the POV is set in the evening, it is not yet dark, and it only lasts for an hour as well.Orik's perspective lasts for a few hours and set is around mid-afternoon to twilight. It is set a few hours after his last perspective, and they will soon be going. Two weeks from when he departed from Farthen Dur.

Chapter 10 (Preparation and Finalisation)

Eragon's POV only goes on for about a few hours, and starts around mid-morning and finishes early afternoon. The perspective is three days after his last perspective in Chapter 8, which would make it around 6 months and 20 days since Galbatorix was killed.Nasuada's POV is set a few days after her last perspective, and lasts from late afternoon to twilight. 6 months and 3 1/2 weeks since Galbatorix was killed. It is also only a few days after Arya's perspective in chapter 5.

Chapter 11 (The whims of fate)

Eragon's POV is set a day after his last perspective, and it is around midday. It does not really matter when this POV is, as it contains no references to other chapters, it was simply a fight scene which I wanted to try my hand at. But for the sake of this document, it does have a specific time.Arya's POV is set on the 7th month mark, give or take a day, since Galbatorix was killed. Takes place in the morning and the whole episode lasts only for about an hour, if not half an hour.Murtagh's POV is set about half a week after his last perspective in Chapter 7. The first part of the POV is three days after his last perspective, and starts and finishes in the evening. The second part of his POV is set in the morning of the next day, and goes up until late morning/noon. The third part of his PoV is set around twilight in the same day as part two, and only lasts for about an hour.

Chapter 12 (A deep breath)

Nasuada's PoV goes for about a few hours and is around late afternoon to early evening. It is a few days after her last perspective which was in Chapter 10, which means it was around 7 months since Galbatorix was killed, and about the same time as Arya's POV in Chapter 11.Saphira's POV is set a day after Eragon's perspective in Chapter 11 and the time is just after noon. By this time, they are on their way down the course of the river, except it will be a few days before they reach the sea. This makes it 6 months and 22 days since Galbatorix was killed.

Chapter 13 (Legacy)

Eragon's PoV is set four days after his last perspective, which means that it has been around 26 days since he was left by Arya and Firnen. The first part of the perspective is around midday. The second part of Eragon's perspective is set a few hours after his first one, and the time is around 5pm, the sun is a few inches away from the horizon and is casting everything in a golden light. His part finishes about half-an-hour before the sun goes down, and by the time it does so he can hear a storm in the distance, which will arrive a few hours after nightfall.Murtagh's PoV is set about 18/19 days after his last perspective, which means that this episode happens around 6 months and 1 week after Galbatorix is killed. This is only roughly accurate and should not be taken as the exact date. It starts around morning and finishes around half an hour later, if even that.

Chapter 14 (Manipulation)

Eragon's PoV is set 7 months after Galbatroix was killed, and about 4 to 5 days after his last perspective in chapter 13. By the time this PoV comes around it is well into spring. The PoV is set around mid-afternoon and takes around 3 hours for it to be completed.

Chapter 15 (Problems and Suprises)

Rhunon's PoV is set just after Arya's PoV in Chapter 11, which makes it around 7 months after King Galbatorix's death. Here first part is set right after the dialogue with Arya. The second part is about an hour after the first part. They then, for the second part, chat for an hour. (Note: Not all of the dialogue is included in this scene and it alternates between Rhunon and Eragon's perspective.)The third part of this scene is three/four hours after the first part and about one and a half hours after the second. It goes on for about half an hour. The fourth part of this scene is about a day later, and is set inside Ellesmera. The scene itself lasts for about half an hour (most of the time is spent looking at the map) and is in the morning.

Chapter 16 (Silvari)

Arya's PoV is about an hour after Rhunon left the edge of the forest in the last chapter. The sun has set, and some of the stars are already beginning to sparkle and shine.Rhunon, deciding the pace needs to be picked up, hurriedly walked from Ellesmera to Nadindel. Thus, it is early evening when she arrives there, although it is still light. The first part of her perspective lasts for about two hours. The second part of her perspective is set about half
an hour after her first, and lasts for a few hours.

Chapter 17 (Progress)

Roran's PoV takes place 7 months after the fall of Galbatorix, it lasts for an hour and is set around midday because it is in Roran's lunchbreak. They are about to finish lunchbreak and start working again, just before Nolfravell comes running up and tells Roran that Nasuada is scrying them.Nasuada's PoV takes place about 5 minutes before the end of Roran's PoV, and continues on for about half an hour. It should be noted that this is not all in Nasuada's perspective, it also alternates between her and Roran's PoV.

Chapter 18 (Success)

Orik's Perspective is set seven and a half months after Galbatorix is killed. It lasts for about an hour, and is set late at night. It starts when it is dark, and finishes about 1 hour before midnight.Murtagh's PoV is set about seven and a half months after the King is killed; it is still daylight, although it is fading fast. The entire episode lasts for about 20 minutes, and by the end of the episode they are going to have dinner.

Major events (and their length):

Orik's expedition to find the Raz'ac.Eragon's time at the coastal settlement that he built.The time taken for Arya to finish her spells on the forest border.

PoV Tally:

Arya - 5

Orik - 5

Nasuada - 5

Murtagh – 6

Saphira – 2

Rhunon – 2

Firnen – N/A

Orrin – N/A

A/N Just a quick notice. I won't be uploading for about a week as I am extremely busy, really sorry, but once I have finished my school. I will redo my Saphira POV as I know I annoyed a lot of people with it, but I couldn't really see any other way to differentiate between a dragons way of thinking and a humans/elves, any suggestions would be much appreciated. I aim for this story to be about 20-25 chapters (not including the things that are not actually chapters).

Thanks for reading and please review. Good day to everyone
