	Sourcery should be placed one year after ''The Light Fantastic'', as it's stated that the luggage "ate a spell book" last year. In the old timeline, [[Talk:Discworld Timeline#Sourcery\|someone mentioned that]] this was not possible as that would require the assumption that Vetinari were patrician in ''The Colour of Magic''. I don't see why that is a problem, as ''Guards! Guards!'' makes it clear that it was Vetinari who legalised the Thieves Guild, a state which I believe was already the case in the very first book! Note I'm going through all the books in order now, and I'm currently up to ''Guards! Guards!'', so excuse my ignorance of any facts.

			==Lu-Tze's birth==
			Sorry, but surely the nature of the History Monks means that, while Lu-Tze may have had 800 years of experience from his own perspective, that doesn't ''necessarily'' mean he was born 800 years ago, any more than it means he must have been in his seven-hundred-and-seventies when he stayed with Mrs Cosmopolite as "a young man" thirty years ago?

	As you can see there are quite a ~~few~~ issues with the current old timeline. And my hope is to try and fix those issues with a timeline that can fit as many of the Fixed points in time as possible.		As you can see there are quite a lot of issues with the current old timeline.

	There are also several other issues with the timeline, for instance Carpe Jugulum is set in the Century of the Anchovy despite stating that it's in the Century of the Fruitbat in the novel.
