I hate how people exaggerate this scene making him bad guy when Fenrys was just an ass and not knowing their backstory.

the scene in kingdom of ash where fenrys is like "you'd rather my queen die than your king?" is so silly. if i were chaol i'd be like hell yeah. my ex or my best friend? the answer is pretty obvious honey

Recently, on my fyp are a lot of fancast for throne of glass characters. One video that really caught my eye was Dorian's and Chaol's fancast. (this one:https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJH8ctnN/)

I saw Evan Nikopoulus fancast for Rhysand but it works well for Dorian too. But to be honest Peter Badenhop is such a good choice for Chaol.

So that leads me to my assumption that Chaol would have tattoos. Not too many of them but I definitely see him having one across his chest and back...and one on his hip bone.

I have seen a lot of modern AU's regarding a CC3 crossover. We have Aelin with guns, Cassian with selfies and Dorian with expensive clothes like Gucci and bookstore lover.

And in my head Chaol is a big car lover. Especially Formula 1. This dude lives for adrenaline. He loves horses and since Throne of Glass time takes place in the middle age ( can't tell me otherwise ) that's kind of a transport vehicle at that time. So the only logical thing is that he loves cars.

I imagine him having big black SUV, cause black is his colour, that could transport a lot of people. Let's be honest he would be Dorian's personal taxi.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

A lot of people are confused with timeline of Throne of glass. Indeed there are 8 books with each over 400 pages so that's not unexpected. So I put books and events chronologically to explain the whole series

Assassin's blade - timeline starts around one and a half year before Throne of Glass. In the first novella The assassin and the pirate lord timeline takes around 3 weeks ( Celaena and Sam go to Skulls Bay to see Captain Rolfe). Their journey to the islands takes around 1 week and they stayed there for a week untill they demolished the whole place. In the two other novellas The assassin and the healer and The assassin and the dessert timeline stretches for 2 months. Celaena stays in Innish for 2 days and meets Yrene and teaches her self defense. After that she goes to Red dessert to meet Silent Assassins. She stays there 1 month and it takes her 1 month to come back to Rifthold. In last two novellas The assassin and the underworld and The assassin and the empire timeline takes place around 1 month when she understood her feelings towards Sam and wanted to move away with him. That was in June because she heard ladies in taverns gossiping that Crown Prince is going to the beach with his friends for his birthday. It's important to notice that in between novellas are time gaps due to her travelling and so on.

Then it's a year break in between two books due Celaena going to Endovier

Throne of glass - the timeline takes place around September when Dorian and Chaol went to Endovier to get her be Dorian's champion in competition. It takes them 2 weeks to come back to Rifthold and then her training starts that last around 2 weeks. She recovers and the competition starts. It's said that the last competition will be held after Yullemas and that's 21st of December . So the book ends at the end of December

Again the break between two books around one to one and a half month due Celaena going to her missions.

Crown of midnight - book starts at the beginning of February. She and Chaol become even closer and soon it's his birthday. It's around middle of February ( 14th of February;) ) and they confess their love towards each other. It's said that they were together for a week until Nehemiah's death happens. Chaol then send her to Wendlyn

She goes off to Wendlyn and it takes her 2 weeks to get there.

Heir of Fire - in first two weeks Celaena lays on roofs of Wendlyn until Rowan spots her and brings her to one of the keeps for in a case of siege. Plot continues as Celaena trains with Rowan. In that time the love story between Dorian and Sorscha happens that lasts couple of weeks. And the book end around middle of May because Celaena's birthday is at the begging of May and she was still training at that time. Week later she came to Doranelle as she mastered her gifts and confronted Maeve.

Another pause of two to three weeks after she onboarded to the ship to Rifthold and after Sorscha's execution.

Queen of shadows - the whole plot is told in two weeks, nothing more, nothing less. The reason is that when Celaena came to Rifthold she met Chaol again and made a plan how to rescue Aedion. That took 2 days. The dinner with Arnobynn and his murder happened during that week. After that they planed how to free Dorian from the Valg collar. Their trip to Oakwald forest took 4 days and after they came to Rifthold, the day after, Celaena presented herself as king's Champion who came back from Wendlyn. The glass castle scene happened and that sums up this book. So the book takes place in June because Dorian's birthday is mentioned and in Assassin's blade it says it's in begining of summer.

After that Aelin and her court parts with Dorian and Chaol to go to Terrasen which journey takes two to three weeks.

Empire of storms / Tower of Dawn - those two books take place in the same time but the perspective and place are different. In empire of storms it's in Erilea while in Tower of Dawn it's in Antica due to Chaol being invalid. Both books take place during the summer but while Empire of storms end in August due to Aelin being locked in coffin, Tower of Dawn continues until September. Because it mentions Yrene's birthday while the weather becomes colder.

Another pause of two months and during that time Aelin is held captivated in Doranelle.

Kingdom of Ash - the two months have passed and Rowan, Elide and Lorcan continued for their hunt for Aelin. Until she blows off some of the power they sensed her and planed to distract Maeve until they rescue her. It took them two days for the whole rescue plan and another five days to get to the Wendlyn's shore flowing in underground waters. During that time Chaol and Yrene travel from Antica with the army until they hear that there is attack on Anielle. The siege lasted five days until Aelin and her court appeared to beat the army. During that time Dorian and Manon find Croochan's while Aedion and Lysandra fight in Terrasen. Time laps between every battle in the north is around one to two weeks because the only mentioned are in Eldrys and in Perranth ( not including one In Orynth ). After that they march towards north when the final battle of Orynth happens. In one of the dialogues Rowan tells Gavriel they will fight in Terrasen with Aedion before Yullemas. So the story ends in late November. In the epilogue it's fast-forward to spring and rebuilding the kingdom.

Disclaimer : this is not synopsis of the series and I did not include a lot of events, only the one that are important to understand time-place connection.

I hope it helps!

I can't believe that people who call themselves lovers of Throne of Glass can actually come up with these conclusions. You haven't really tried to comprehend the whole point of his character? Yes he messes up, but he gets up and tries to be a better person. Unlike other characters that give themselves reasons for their atrocities to appear more confident. No this is not a slander to anyone because every character is unique and teach us a lesson.

As far as I recall, Rowan told her she is useless and punched her in the face. True gentleman. Yes later he regrets it all, but at the same time would he if he didn't fall in love with her?

Dorian and Chaol's friendship is the most purest thing in this whole series.

Ex. 1 They love each other unconditionally. In Heir of Fire little Aelin asks if Dorian wants to be her friend because he seemed lonely. And what Dorian told her? That he already has a friend and deep inside knows that he will always protect him

Ex 2 If 'I love you' doesn't explains it all I don't know what will

Ex 3 Chaol knows that Adarlan is deeply corrupted and the only way to save the county he loves is to protect Dorian. And all of his sacrifices were worth it.

I don't know how could you think that Chaol is abusive. First of all, he is a child of domestic abuse. His father threw him out of his house, in the time of the deadliest winter, punched him and let him found the way to Rifthold by himself. All by the age of 13. And later he doesn't let him see his mother that deeply loves him and he pushed it down because he is still hurt by that. He even said 'thank you' to Yrene when she told him it wasn't his fault and felt something break in his heart.( You would know this if you have read Tower of Dawn)

And now for the Aelin monster part. He didn't DIRECTLY told her that she is a monster. Later in ToD he said that she wasn't one but he was in a bad mental state so he saw her that way. I understand him because she made so many promises and actions to him that were shattered. It's okay to paths to change but they didn't really discussed their relationship. In a way her actions regarding Valg princes she defeated did caused the whole Sorscha execution. And as a result he was left with survival guilt and PTSD. So she comes back and tell him it's his fault, as a human with no magical powers, to left Dorian. What could he possibly do? Only get himself and Dorian killed. Technically she could tell them that Rifthold is in danger but as we all know, she likes to keep informations to herself. So when he does that exact same thing, she threatens to burn him and his whole city. Little bit paradoxical. And what I want to add is that Aelin never apologized to Chaol for trying to kill Dorian and probably never told him that Nehemia wasn't his fault at all.

The main problem in this Chaol hate is that people hate realistic characters because they portrait what they are, but forget that we should look up at them and actually learn from them. And Chaol deserves the whole world because he is a person that never knew unconditional love from his family, lovers (except Yrene) or anyone else. So therefore his birthday should, infact be February 14. <3

Chaol disgusts me, stop with the birthday thing he deserves nothing. How can you even like Chaol when there’s Rowan and dorian ??? I never understood how could smol bean Dorian even be his friend. I can’t believe there’s people like you, hated his annoying ass when he called Aelin a monster, the audacity.

There’s a lot to unpack here 🤣. First, it’s a book, calm down. It’s okay if you don’t like him, I also don’t like some characters but I don’t go to an obvious fan account to try and stop them from talking about them. My url is westfall-castle. Were you expecting me to hate him?

Then, there’s Dorian who I adore and Rowan who I like… what does that have to do with Chaol. He’s there and I also love him, what’s the problem? Why should I hate one to love the others?

About Dorian and Chaol being friends, i don’t even know where to begin. I’m speechless and intrigued??? Why should Dorian not be Chaol’s friend??? I even think they had lover chemistry. He’s the most loyal person around him, even Aelin tried to kill him (I know that it was “a mercy” but come on man, if it wasn’t for Chaol and Nesryn there wouldn’t even be a Dorian rn, mercy or not, did you casually let that slide cause you were biased?

About the whole Aelin being called a monster thing, I have read and reread that chapter a lot of times because it’s so controversial and I have found out that people who are neutral with the POVs are likely to understand Chaol’s character better. Haven’t you ever gotten the feeling throughout the whole series that the narrative is biased favouring Aelin?? (Which is normal bc she’s the protagonist) But in this particular scene we are reading her point of view and readers are likely to be swayed into taking her side blindly. Particularly if she’s a character that you love. Try to read it from a neutral perspective and you’ll see that what Chaol is saying is not so irrational or mean spirited.

Besides, I never understood this, Aedion calls Lysandra a bitch and humilliates her by throwing her naked to the snow, Rowan literally punches Aelin in the face and no one says nothing but Chaol calls her “monster” INDIRECTLY and suddenly it’s the worst insult ever????
