So get this. I think I have actually managed to work up an accurate, or at least semi-accurate, timeline. I went back through all of my notes and such and worked on putting the timeline together.

You will find my timeline on my fanfic blog here:

https://baldursgate3theafflicted.blogspot.com/2021/08/home.html

The actual video game story seems to take place mid-month of Uktar. That is the 11th month of the year. The tieflings apparently arrived in the 9th month, Eleint roughly around the 10th. Halsin left around the 2nd of Marpenoth, the 10th month.

If this is true, then the tieflings have been in the Grove for 2 months and Halsin and and company have been exploring the Temple of Selune for a whole month.

So, tell me how that makes sense. How long does it take for a group of adventurers to travel to the Temple and discover it is overrun by goblins?

Anyway, check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. I did find that I was able to reconcile a lot of things once I created a timeline for it. Still, the point remains. I had to do a lot of work to figure out what is actually going on in this story for even the most basic things.

Also, still doesn't explain things like why Pandirna is so freaked out after 2 months or about the goblin raid, which was still, imo, a very low key battle and not some earth shaking event that she was a part of.
