About the Chronicle
Who keeps this chronicle, what it draws from, and the rules it will not break.
What this is
The Citadel Chronicle is a free, ad-free interactive timeline of A Song of Ice and Fire: twelve thousand years of Westeros set down in a maester's hand, from the Dawn Age to the events of the novels. The core timeline and forty-eight selected reference pages are localized across ten languages; the wider lore archive is currently published in English. A spoiler shield protects readers still mid-book.
Sources and canon
Canon entries are grounded in George R. R. Martin's published novels, novellas, and reference histories; where those sources disagree, the novels rule. Status reporting uses attributed author and publisher updates, theories are labeled as interpretation, and screen evidence stays in separate comparison sections. Where available, entries carry source references.
Method
Dates follow the count of Aegon's Conquest — BC and AC. Established years are stated plainly; legend is marked as legend, and a dagger (†) flags any date the maesters dispute. The chronicle is fact-checked against the texts before publication, and corrections are applied the moment an error is found. The chronicle can still err — verify grave matters against the books. To learn how its pages are read, the Chronicle consults Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics; their observations are anonymized and masked, cookie-less where the law of the region asks it, and no advertisements are served.
Who keeps it
A fan project, kept by one reader with a chain of borrowed knowledge and a standing candle. It is not affiliated with, authorized, or endorsed by George R. R. Martin, HBO, or Warner Bros. Discovery. If the Chronicle has served you, the support page keeps the candles lit.
Corrections
Found an error? The Chronicle wants to know. Reach the keeper through the support page — every correction is checked against the texts and credited to the realm's memory.
