1000 years is a very long time

Did you know that there is an 800 year time gap between Old Detlas being destroyed and New Detlas being built? Yet, the new city was named the same, put in the same location, with the same language being spoken and written, with nary even a shift in pronunciation.

In my opinion, the AP timeline should be halved. 500 years seems much more sensible for the amount of stuff happening in Wynnstory (Wynn History).

 

Wynn's timeline is inexplicably stretched and this is a symptom, not an issue in particular IMO. I think the timeline just needs to get fixed.

 

My suggestion is that the timeline should be fixed by halving its length. This would make its history more sensibly distributed and more influential.

 

Where did you get this info from?

Are you talking about the Detlas from the 'Ruins of Detlas' SD or?

 

Old Detlas is mentioned nowhere else.

 

Yeah, I know Old Detlas was destroyed 78AP, but where did you get the info for when New Detlas was made?

 

I don't think this is completely unrealistic, founding the new Detlas on the site of a long-destroyed ruins would symbolically show the (supposed) power of the humans and villages over the corruption. Names of locations tend to go mostly unchanged for centuries or even millennia irl, so it isn't unrealistic on that front, either. As for the language and spelling, even a 500 year gap would make it extremely difficult to understand. For both developer and player connivence, having realistic changes in language, spelling, and syllabary would be more trouble than it's worth. Like with media set in the past or future, you just kind of have to suspend your disbelief.
