I just got a little confused...
Amethyst Foundations is set around the year 508 A.E.
But many quotes in the book are from later on.
That's okay, as time goes on, but sometimes very odd:
______________________________________________________

Foundations page 213. A quotation of King Darius Konig dated from 986 A.E.
As Foundations is said to be dated 508 A.E. and Konig to be 200 years old by that time, is he 678 years old by the time of the quotation?

Accounts from the Caravan of King:
page 210: 255 A.E.
page 211: 755 A.E.

Karlis Kronas is quoted 999 A.E., but Gimfen only live for about 500 years, and he already lived when Savarice got granted royal blood by Silver River, which must have happened between 250 and 350 A.E., I guess.

The first and current ruler, Garach Glim, after four centuries, he still digs alongside his people. (Foundations page 216). Born around 100 A.E.
But quoted from 1225 A.E. on page 25, where he had to be over 1100 years old.
Narros usually only become around 1000 years.
______________________________________________________

Is it possible that all quotations from more than 500 years A.E. have to be dated back by 500 years?
Seems to make sense to me...
______________________________________________________

How about publishing a little timeline?
Pleeeeease... 8-)

Yes...that.

The issue that there are errors from the old 3.5 edition to the 4.0 edition. The Amethyst 3.5 was set in 2000 AE, 2000 years after the gate's open, but with 4.0, we condensed that timeline to 500 years. So in doubt, cut the date by a quarter to get the accurate date of those quotes.
