Editing The Fivefold Chronology

The Fivefold Chronology strives to include every narrative entry, arranged in fictional-chronology order, independent of when they were actually authored.

Anything that could conceivably have happened before the Battle at the Glass Canyon has been lumped in the "Backstory" section, with no particular sense of ordering.

When there are multiple overlapping many-part stories involving PCs and their servants, I've mixed them together in an attempt to highlight the closeness of back-to-back episodes (e.g. [[Reforging the Promise]]/[[Rededicating the Promise]]), and to separate episodes that have substantial travel or downtime between them (most Daybringers chapters, with the notable exception of [[Chapter 4]] and [[Chapter 5]]).

When the timing of entries are ambiguous, the entries are clustered in the following order:  Circle activities come first, followed by Tier-2 (DBs and gods), then Tier-3(Saga of the Daybringers, Servants of the Righteous), then Tier-4 activities (Other non-SotD, non-SoR amalgam groups).  Finally, groups of chronologically-ambiguous links concerning the activities of the party's foes tend to be grouped towards the end of a session.  Regarding dates: These become increasingly inaccurate towards the beginning.

Occasionally, a link will be located at or near the end of a session for no other reason than that it provides an appropriate note of closure (as in [[The Price You Pay]]), or because the entry directly foreshadows the events of a subsequent session (as in [[Something to Break]]).
