Talk:Year of the Notional Serpent

Oh boy! The Small Gods Question again (see Talk:Book:Small Gods).
What's your argument for placing Brutha in the recent century? I can't accept it in face of the data in the text and I still like TC01's Djelbeybian Time-Well hypothesis to explain the discrepancies. (Our article on the Discworld calendar has him in the Century of the Cobra.) --Old Dickens (talk) 01:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

That's interesting, as we may have a contradiction within the Wiki and will need to go back to source (Small Gods) and resolve an editing error... the book page for Small Gods lists this under Miscellaneous, and this was my starting point:

• Year of the Notional Serpent in the Century of the Fruitbat, time frame for this book
• Year of the Astounded Beetle, Brutha was 2 years old then (almost 3) when he saw derechmi, an Ephebian coin

But as you say, the Discworld Timeline article has the evens of Small Gods happening before the Century of the Fruitbat begins!

So I guess it's time to go back to the book and double check, if only to perform any necessary correction... AgProv (talk) 09:20, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
