Honestly I usually follow the film timeline of LOTR/the Hobbit bc it ends up shaving off those 17 years Gandalf goes to research the Ring/where he and Aragorn hunt for Gollum. I based Créa's main timeline on that bc that's a really long time.

Going back and adjusting for an alternate book timeline is hilarious tho, bc there is are particular lines in The Hobbit that mentions Man settlements in the Wilderland- that they shoot at the Great Eagles for trying to steal their livestock, and that goblins and wargs come down from the MM and raid villages and drag people back to the tunnels, never to be seen again. Créa is an adult by this time, and her timeline of leaving home is before Thorin's Company arrives in Rivendell.

But with the book timeline??? Créa is like. Five years old. baby. baby girl. It still works but the mental image is so funny to me.

#(the story still works regardless its just really funny)#(she's 3 years younger than Aragorn so that's always helpful for my math which i am Bad At)#(someone came to me like "oh so créa is like 100 something years old during LOTR?' and i was like HUH? and i had to clarify lmaooo)#the mental image of créa leaving home at five. scaling the great east road and the misty mountains herself #arriving in rivendell and becoming a ranger at the ripe age of five. truly innovative)
