Late winter of 1974 T.A. is when Fornost falls to the forces of Angmar, in my understanding. This is the opening scene for the game.

From there Aranarth, the King’s son and heir, and a number of the Dunedain escape southwest, heading toward the Gulf of Lune; while Arvedui with a remnant of his guard holds out for a brief while on the North Downs. The King and his small group then flee swiftly north west to the Ice Bay on horse. They hide out for a while in the old Dwarf mines at the far end of the mountains but are eventually driven to seek the help of the Lossoth of Forochel. Here the King is forced to wait, his horses having perished, until the hoped for help comes.

The majority of the King’s escape takes place in the first 3 months of T.A. 1975, ending in March when Cirdan’s ship arrives in the still ice encrusted bay.

Everyone can familiarize themselves with this by taking a look at “Appendix A (iii)”, Return of the King – ‘The North-kingdom and the Dunedain’

Take a look back at the beginning of the proposal ‘Historical Background’:

I took the liberty of changing the times in this manner -

TA 1974 (very late winter) – March of TA 1975

You can still leave this in as the main part of storyline’s timeline:

The storyline itself or plot covers about 56 Days (8 weeks), from 16 January to 11 March

. . . or, you can amend it as you wish and let me know how you want it changed.
