Pio,

I think there's a discrepency we may need to iron out. According to my Star notes, we left Minas Anor in the 10th year of the 4th Age. I had done that to have Cami be age 49 on the journey (according to her biography, etc. and family tree which I have at home on paper).

I am assuming our adventures and its aftermath took about one year. That's why I say Frodo and Bilbo have been gone eleven years in Tol Eressea.

You mention this tale as being set in the 7th or 8th year of the 4th age.

So we aren't on the same page! I'm willing to change the date by a few years if you need that. It will make Cami a tad younger in this story, but I can live with that. I don't want to change my bio and her birthdate as I do want Cami just a little older than Sam.

Just wanted to check with you about the dating.

Sorry I haven't gotten further with editing my posts. Real life and duties in the Shire keep interfering.
