Timeline - First Pass Pern

This is our story timeline, broken down by IC year After Landing; the story began with the crash of the Amherst in the 5th month of year 10. We don't have any strict IC:OOC time ratio, so there are no corresponding OOC dates — things move as writers have time and desire to progress them, meaning one week may take six months and four years may even be covered in three days.
