Time used to move a lot slower in the Land of Stories than in the Otherworld, which is why the "fairy-tale characters" were already so old when Alex and Conner met them in the Land of Stories. This was altered when Alex and Conner were born; they were born of both worlds, which connected the two dimensions and made the time move at the same pace.[1]

Timeline

Eras/Ages[]

The Land of Stories has 3 eras:[2] the Dragon Age (Early Middle Ages), the Age of Magic (High Middle Ages), and the Golden Age (Late Middle Ages). The most notable events of the Fairytale World, such as the defeat of the Evil Queen and the end of the Eastern KIngdom's sleeping curse, took place during the Golden Age. The Golden Age is shortened to GA, while the Dragon Age is shortened to DA, and, finally, the Age of Magic has no known acronym but is most likely shortened to AOM or AM.

  • Tuesday, September 20th: Conner Bailey, Breanne Campbell, the Book Huggers, and Evelyn Peters board an airplane from California, U.S.A. to Heathrow Airport in London, United Kingdom around 10 am PDT. The small group arrives in London at around 12 pm BST, and board a connecting flight from Heathrow to Berlin, Germany around an hour later. The group of seven finally arrive at their destination around 7 pm CEST, making the trip a combined total of 15 hours.
    • Members of the group take brief naps and a short stroll around the city prior to dinner at a restaurant near the Hotel Gewaltiger Palast, the hotel where the group is staying. Several times during this period, Conner Bailey tries to contact his sister using a shard from their communication mirror.
  • Wednesday, September 21st: At 10 am, the group of Californian tourists meet up in the lobby for a complimentary breakfast at the hotel, and leave for the readings of the three Brothers Grimm's short stories (known as the Grimm-Fest) at St. Matthäus-Kirchhof cemetery at 11:05 am.
    • At 12 am, the Grimm-Fest begins and the stories are read in German, French, and English by a local celebrity, Sofia Amsel. The first two stories read happen to be the same ones the Bailey twins were told by their father, and that Conner Bailey wrote in school. The third and final story is a warning in disguise, written by the Brothers Grimm to forewarn of the coming threat to the Land of Stories known as the Grande Armée.
    • Following the readings, Conner Bailey tries numerous times, at the hotel, to contact his sister of the coming threat but to no avail. Meanwhile the rest of the California group have lunch at a nearby café and attend a bicycle tour of the Tiergarten Park. Later on in the day, Conner heads back to the cemetery for answers but receives none.
  • Thursday, September 22nd: Bree Campbell, the Book Huggers, and Mrs. Peters visit several landmarks, including the Brandenburg Gate and the Federal Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt), and a couple of museums, meanwhile, Conner feigns sickness and remains in the hotel the entire day trying to contact Alex in the shard of his communication mirror.
  • Friday, September 23rd: Prior to heading to their airport to board their flight that would head to London, the California group, excluding Conner who still attempts to contact his sister, head to a few local shops for a shopping spree. Later on, the group boards the flight back to London, however, before their connecting flight, Conner manages to make contact with Mother Goose, who assigns him to check on the Neuschwanstein portal which was bound to open soon, allowing the Grande Armée an entrance into the Fairytale World.
    • Having heard the conversation between Conner and Mother Goose, Bree confronts Conner and tells him she's ditching the flight with him. Conner relents and the two sneak out of the airport and board a bus full of American teenagers heading to Trafalgar Square in central London. Once they arrive, Conner withdraws cash from an ATM and the two head to a library in St. James's Square to look up the Red Lion Brewery, where they first believe the South Bank Lion is located.
    • Once Conner and Bree find the whereabouts of the lion, the two head off to Twickenham Stadium, however, they are forced to get a quick bite and camp out in St. James's Park until late at night to talk to the statue.
  • Saturday, September 24th: By past midnight, Conner and Bree seize the chance to talk to South Bank Lion who tells them how to check on the portal and where it is. By the time the two finish talking to the lion, it's four in the morning, and by around 6 am, the two make it to the St. Pancras railway station to board a train heading to Paris, France. The two kidnap an elderly woman to get on board the train and make it to Paris within a few hours at around 10 am CEST.

  • Meanwhile in the fairytale world Red Riding Hood loses the Red Riding Hood Kingdom election and is evicted from her castle. The kingdom is then renamed the Bo Peep Republic, Red's castle is then converted into an orphanage
  • Two weeks after Red's eviction, Conner, Bree, and Emmerich finally arrive in the Land of Stories and so do the Grande Armée

Others[]

  • [15]
  • An Author's Odyssey follows Beyond the Kingdoms seamlessly, so it is still 2011-2012.
  • The New York City Portal is said to open 'within the next 6 months' of Beyond the Kingdoms, and it opens at the end of An Author's Odyssey, presumably in 2012.
  • Worlds Collide can be assumed to be set in 2012-2013 as well.

Spontaneous Portals[]

Main article: Spontaneous portals
Pretend the two dimensions are planets circling the sun. The green one is the fairy-tale world and the blue one is our world. Even though they move at different speeds somewhere in the cosmos, every so often their orbit crosses and they collide.
 


In 2012, when Breanne Campbell visited her distant relatives who were part of a sisterhood known as the Sisters Grimm, they explained to her the occurrence of spontaneous portals which were caused by collisions between the Otherworld and the Land of Stories, explaining millennia of mythological sightings and stories such as the Loch Ness Monster and Sasquatches.[17]

  14. In A Grimm Warning, Mrs. Peters tells Conner the following: "They’re [University of Berlin] going to read them [Brothers Grimm's short stories] to the public for the first time this coming September, three weeks into next school year, at St. Matthäus-Kirchhof cemetery, where the Brothers Grimm are buried.” The flyer advertising the reading stated that the event would be on a Wednesday which matches perfectly with the dates given by Mrs. Peters if you were to look at a 2011 calendar. Taking all this into account, the date of the readings would be Sept. 21, 2011. Mrs. Peters and her students rest for one day before the reading and remained in Berlin for two more days after the reading and left the day after those two days placing the date on Sept. 25, 2011. Bree and Conner separate from the group by 4:00 am GMT on Sept. 25 (“It’s almost four in the morning [...]”), they manage to talk to the South Bank Lion. By about 6:00 am GMT of the same day, they head to St. Pancras ("Conner and Bree made it to the train station at St. Pancras a little before six o’clock that morning.") and arrive in Paris along with "Granny Pearl" at about 10:00 am CEST ("France was only a couple hours from England [...]"). By 11:00 am CEST, Bree, Conner, and Granny Pearl board the train heading to Monte Carlo ("Within the hour, Conner, Bree, and Granny Pearl were aboard another train enjoying another first-class cabin.") and take about six hours to get to Monte Carlo ("The train stopped in five or six cities along the way, and about six hours had passed by the time they reached the Monte Carlo station.") which places the time at around 5:00 pm CEST. Bree, Conner, and Pearl board a 9:00 pm CEST overnight train to Prague that stops at Munich (“[...] If we can make it back in time, there’s a nine o’clock overnight train to Prague that stops in Munich on the way.”) The train finally stopped at Munich at 6:00 am CEST the next day (Sept. 26, 2011) and the two teenagers parted ways with Pearl/Elsa. Bree manages to get a hold of two bikes to get to Neuschwanstein and tells Conner that it took them nine and a half hours when they finally arrive (“And it only took us nine and a half hours!”) placing the time at around 4:00 pm CEST. When the two trick Emmerich into helping them get into the castle he says he would meet them in an "hour or two" at Mary's Bridge which puts the time between 5:00 pm CEST and 6:00 pm CEST. As promised, Emmerich arrives in a "few short hours," confirming it took two hours rather than one, and placing the time at around 6:00 pm CEST. Once Emmerich, Bree, and Conner find the portal and are sucked in, they stay in a limbo for a month (30-31 days), placing the date when Conner, Emmerich, and Bree land in the Fairytale World between Oct. 23-24, 2011 (in Otherworld time.) Once Conner is informed that his grandmother is dying, he and Alex stay "by their grandma's bedside all night," placing the date between Oct. 23-24, 2011. "The twins barely slept after sending the royals and their friends on the secret path, and were both up before sunrise," places the date between Oct. 24-25, 2011. By chapter 22 (To the Core), it is said to be the middle of the night, meaning the next day and placing the date between Oct. 25-26 ("In the middle of the night three villages in the south of the Eastern Kingdom found themselves under attack.") Once Alex and Conner recruit the Troblin army, Queen Trollbella invites them to stay the night, placing the date they wake up on either Oct. 26 or 27, 2011. The same day, Alex and Conner attempt to recruit the Elf Empire's army and almost succeed before the Grande Armée launches a surprise attack. Alex and Conner barely escape with several injuries. They're found in the woods by Hagetta and are steadily healed by the flames of an Albino Dragon over the course of "a few hours," until nightfall. Alex signals the remaining armies for the Battle for the Fairy Kingdom. Once the battle is won, a ceremony is held the next night, honoring the lives lost, placing the date between Oct. 27-28. The next day (Oct. 28-29, 2011), the Happily Ever After Assembly is summoned for the news that it would be abolished and replaced by the Happily Forever After Assembly. Much later on, on Emmerich's 146th night of washing dishes (placing the date on Mar. 22-23, 2012, making it either a Thursday or a Friday.)
