"Summoned, I come." (Been too busy to take part in the actual arguments, but a straightforward (and direct) question like this, I can handle.) The Phoenix Guards is submitted to the Imperial Library in 309 PI (approximately 60 years after Issola). So, "300 years PI" is certainly about when he *started* writing/publishing. Sometime after that (how much is unknown), Norathar takes the throne. At some small-but-controversial number of years after that, FHYA comes out. TVoA is published around 180 years into Norathar's reign, so probably a bit over 500 years after the Interregnum ended. Unless Zerika held the throne for a particularly long time after the publishing of TPG, which we don't have any significant data on.
