Pern Timeline

This is a work in progress - I've yet to add the events from The White Dragon onwards. In the meantime, I've managed to create a fairly accurate representation of Pern's most important events and when they happened. This involved a lot of guesswork and sometimes I had to make choices between books (eg there were differences in dates between Dragonsdawn and First Fall, I used the dates from Dragonsdawn), but I'm happy with the result. I'll be adding to it whenever I can.
