Damar Timeline Page

http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu./~phoenix/Publ/damar.html has a timeline of events in McKinley's universe, mostly drawing upon _Hero_. Comments on content and style are invited. So as not to post too often, I'll take the opportunity to ask why people are disturbed by the idea of Harry and Corlath being related. If her great-grandmother was a sister of Corlath's great-grandfather, our heroes would be third cousins and share a minuscule fraction of their genes. If Aerin was Harry's ancestor they'd be even less related, because Corlath is farther away from Aerin. Third cousins aren't that close -- especially for royalty. And especially since Aerin and Tor were FIRST cousins.
