How long has it been since #1, according to events in the comic?

[Lordfiscus]

Like the title says, how long has it actually been since the Order arrived at the dungeon of Dorukan?

Less than a year according to this thread:
EDIT: Less than 2 years according to this thread:

that thread is incorrect. The goblins celebrated the 1-year anniversary of the conquest of Azure City in-comic.

One of Haley's personalities says they've had a thing for Elan for the better part of a year shortly before the Battle of Azure City. The Battle of Azure City is coming on its 1-year anniversary in a few weeks. So it's been like a year and a half, give or take.

1183 - 1184 is a time period that can be a large as two years minus one day.

:smallconfused: The battle of Azure City was more than a year ago, given that the foundation of Gobbotopia took place on the anniversary of that same battle.
VV Ah, alright. Your comix-fu is superior.

I will echo the others in this thread by saying more than a year, probably around one and a half, and we will probably never get a more specific answer.

489 tells us the time to the battle from #1 is a little short of a year, and it's been a few days over a year since the battle, so 2 years would be the base figure we should use.

4.) The chart the deva shows should not be taken too literally. I didn't necessarily consult all possible references on how much time had passed when I drew it. I fudged it.

You're totally right, I answered quickly without thinking and I made a mistake.

[hamishspence]

The goblins celebrated the 1-year anniversary of the conquest of Azure City in-comic.
To be more precise, Redcloak said "In just 6 weeks, we will mark the 1 year anniversary of our conquest".

Even before I read the thread, I guesstimated about 2 years. :smallbiggrin:

[JessmanCA]

Surprised no one mentioned:

Years may have a different length in OotS land.

2 years of theirs may equal 10 years in ours. Or 1 year in ours.

Unless human gestation and lifespan are significantly different, too, I doubt any differences are that extreme.

Well, "two years" still answers the OP's question. :smallbiggrin: I doubt what you described is the case, though.

[dtilque]

2 years of theirs may equal 10 years in ours.

Since the strip just recently had its 10-year anniversary, I believe this is more-or-less correct.

Well played.

That's a clever way of looking at things.
