#but now we know that Chima took place over years. And just in one season.

[toastingpencils37]

So we know that not much time passed between Chima season 1 & season 2, bu based on the orbs of golden Chi, we can figure out a minimum of how much time passed from Shadowind's first appearance, Episode 8, to he 1st episode of season 2, Episode 21.

Remember, the lions held the race for the golden CHI every month, & even then, there was time in Season 1 where they stopped holding races due to conflict issues.

In the first picture, there are at least 16 golden CHI orbs hidden, plus possibly some that have light appearing (but I can't fully see due to the stupid Tubi time bar not fucking going down when I need it to).

In the second image, there are 17 CHI orbs present. However, some of the CHI shown in the second image are also shown in the first image. So after figuring out which one are & are not in the first image, we end up with 7 new CHI orbs.

So, we can assume that at least 23 months, or about 2 years, passed between Episode 8 & Episode 21. But remember, this is only the CHI we can see. This does not take into account the CHI Lavertus already used, which would increase the amount of time that's passed.

Sooooo, that would mean that more than 2 years passed within that time period, especially since we were shown multiple flashbacks where Lavertus was using different golden CHI orbs.
