Fairly Complete Glantri Timeline

by Andrew Theisen

Well, I received a number of requests for this, so here it is; everything (to my knowledge) ever published on Glantri timeline dates. Here are a couple of notes:

c.- My circa dates, for the large part, tend to mean +/- 5 years from the given date. This is just sort of arbitrary on my part.
