View source for The Great Hunt Timeline

This is a breakdown of the timeline and all the events happening in each chapter in [[The Great Hunt]]. The main story begins one month after the end of the events in [[The Eye of the World]]. 

The following assumptions have been made: 
*[[The Eye of the World]] ends around the end of the month of Adar, 998 NE, which would make the start of [[The Great Hunt]] around the end of the month of Saven or the beginning of the month of Amadaine. 1st Amadaine is chosen as the first day of the adventure
*Whenever there are multiple points of view in a chapter, it's assumed the events are happening at the same time, or at least closely together
*The time it takes the Amyrlin's ship from Medo to Tar Valon is assumed to be 7 days, as long as it takes Ingtar's group to get to the Portal Stone from Fal Dara
*Between returning to the Real from through the Portal Stone and stealing the Horn back from Fain, Rand, Loial and Hurin spend 5 days of waiting
*Nynaeve and Egwene spend 5 days between arriving in the Tower and Nynaeve's testing for Accepted
*Nynaeve and Elayne, Egwene and Min spend 3 weeks in Falme between Egwene's capture and her rescue
