Below is a timeline of events significant to the Mawko-Norlan Wars, which serve as the backdrop to the life of Thalo Thennelo. The first war began in 297, when Arkelo I, King of Mawon, began an invasion of Norlonn, and ended in 300, when his kingship was formally acknowledged by the earls of Norlonn. The second war was in many ways a direct continuation of the first, although it is traditionally considered to have begun in 326, following the murder of several of the king’s reeves; it ended in 335 with the ratification of the Treaty of Ordenn. The chapter numbers given all refer to those of Thalonn Tayn.
