thing one: jupiter says that the gossamer line was created "thirteen or fourteen ages ago"
thing two: there is a ghostly hour in hollowpox dated to the avian age regarding a conversation about "self-projected travel on the gossamer" (perhaps an early meeting about the potential to create the gossamer line)
thing three: the wintersea republic is said to be beginning its ninth age at the start of book one (i.e. it has only completed eight ages)
thing four: squall says he created the gossamer line
thing five: the courage square massacre which led to squall's expulsion happened "around a hundred years ago" and is assumed to have coincided with the birth of the wintersea republic given his own claim to have had a hand in its consolidation and colonisation of prosper, sang, and southlight
conclusion: ???? i can't do maths someone help
