Tolkien's final First Age timeline - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay! I've gone back and redone all of the calculations, and reassembled the Timeline for the third time.

There may still be some off-by-one errors, but they shouldn't carry through to other dates (I calculated everything at once).
Men and Dwarves are in. Galadriel and Aredhel are still out.
I've tried to explain my reasoning a bit better in some of the notes.
Every item is footnoted to show which source it comes from. Lower number footnotes are later sources.

I am quite pleased to have worked out a solution to the whole Men/Utumno issue. It doesn't match the Reddit version, but I believe it holds up as a plausible "Final Timeline".
