Notes on Time and Place settings

  • This time of general peace and prosperity (indicated by the feast) is characteristic of the High Middle Ages, which lasted from about 1000-1400 AD. It was also during this time that nobles lived primarily in castles.
  • Plate armor, especially as seen on The Knight, was used in western Europe from about 1300-1500 AD.
  • The presence of exotic animals, such as crocodiles and peacocks, suggests that this is during the time of the silk road, or shortly after. The silk road was most popular from about 1250-1360 AD.
  • In terms of internal chronology, this takes place one day after the previous adventure, Dinosaurs Before Dark.
