The maester declares his method

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 an 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 — free, ad-free, in ten languages, with a spoiler shield for readers still mid-book.

Sources and canon

Every entry is drawn from the published works of George R. R. Martin: the five novels first, then Fire & Blood, The World of Ice & Fire, and the Dunk & Egg tales. Where sources disagree, the novels rule. The screen adaptations are cited as record only, and nothing from them is reproduced. Each entry carries its citations.

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.

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.
