In his thesis about Moraides reign, Joerg refers to something that I haven't tackled him on yet. He has been dating Pharandros's birth to 1602 ST for reasons unknown.

I presume this is under the new date of birth for Pharandros. However if Pharandros was born in 1582, we wouldn't have this problem. Unless there's something in WF12 (I don't have the text) that makes this impossible.

Umm? Pharandros's birth is dated as occuring shortly after his father's ascension as King of Tarsh, not his date of his father's death!

Could you please spell out what is causing your problem? You seem to be radically changing the date of Pharandros's birth on the grounds that Moraides is unlikely to have married a fourteen year old girl (which is not unusal in the middle ages BTW).
