In the Italian MMB, we have been discussing the history of north-eastern Brun -- Wendar, Denagoth, Ghyr, but also Norwold and the Wildlands. For ease of reference, I've collected a timeline of Northern-Eastern Brun, based on the Wendar and Denagoth timeline, the works on Littonia, Kaarjala, Wyrmsteeth and the Heldannic Knights, and the discussions on the placement of Ghyr and the XL1 events in the Italian MMB.
Here are the results:

Now, I'd like to analyse a few points from the Wendar/Denagoth Timeline. Here are the Kings of Denagoth, according to the Denagoth/Wendar timeline. All years are AC.
| Nebunar | 563-595 |
| Dallovan | 595-628 |
| Naga | 628-648 |
| <civil war> | 648-658 |
| Ranyn | 658-688 |
| Gereth | 688-733 |
| Minar | 733-758 |
| Landru | 758-774 |
| Beldan | 774-788 |
| Naren | 788-808 |
| Halvan | 808-843 |
| Gallathon | 843-868 |
| Mirimar | 868-888 |
| Vespen | 888-898 |
| Landryn | 898-909 |
There's at least one issue with this timeline, namely the fact that Halvan (1) is supposed to have been a prince (otherwise his apprenticeship with Bensarian is harder to explain) and (2) inherits the throne only later in his life (but here his reign lasts some 30 years).
Also, it is unlikely that Halvan could discover and keep the Blackstick under the reign of a puppet king.
So, I'd rather modify the timeline, by extending Naren's and Gallathon's reign and shortening Halvan's, reducing Idris' control on the kings from Beldan to Vespen (none of the known ones was likely to be involved with the Church of Idris to any extent, and neither would Halvan's father or brother), and having them introduce or switch their support to the cult of He Who Watches (IMO an identity of the Star Dragon).
He Who Watches also happens to be the main patron of Ghyr, it helps fitting Ghyr as a former borderland of Essuria that becomes independent after Teriak's defeat by the forces of Henadin.
The XL1 timeline allows this easily, since if Landryn is defeated in 909 AC, then XL1 must happen circa 985 AC, due to the length of the lives and reigns of the two kings of Ghyr (Qasmar and Ganto).
985 AC is a good temporal location for XL1, since it allows the characters Figgen, Strongheart, Mercion, etc. to be of companion level by 1000 AC, when they (at least, Figgen) are settled in Ierendi.
This also allows Strongheart and Mercion to be king and queen of Ierendi for a short while between Palik and Marianna (GAZ monarchs) and Reston and Tristilia (PWA monarchs).
