This is a breakdown of the timeline and all the events happening in each chapter in The Shadow Rising. The main story in the book begins after the fall of the Stone of Tear, an event that ended The Dragon Reborn.

The following assumptions have been made:

  • The Great Hunt ends around the month of Danu, 998 NE, and the beginning of The Dragon Reborn is said to be around the beginning of spring, which would make the events start in the month of Saban 999NE, almost a year after departing from Emond's Field.
  • 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.


For a broader timeline, please check The Wheel of Time Timeline.
