Since we ( Penny and myself ) place "The Widow´s Tale" into the year 1619 (for various reasons) there IS a place for Garrath Swordsharp!

Garrath lives in Pavis ("Pavis - Threshold to Danger" box and "Pavis & Big Rubble" book).
In "The Widow´s Tale" Gared Spearsharp comes from Pavis, stayes from Gods Day, Truth Week, Earth Season to end of Storm Season at Eurhol´s Vale (a tiny vale on praxian side of the Storm Mountains). After that we don´t know...
The whole year 1620 open for suggestions. :-) In Sea Season 1621 Garrath is back in Pavis (story "The Harrowing" by Penelope Love, and The Cradle scenario, of course).

Cheers

André
