Differences between the TSL and Official timelines

 * In TSL timeline the twins birthdate is in winter (december), in official timeline their birthday is in early autumn (month unknown).
 * The timeline places Graham's wedding one year after his Coronation and the birth of his child 2 years later (3 years after the coronation). According to KQ4 the wedding occured three years after the coronation, 3 GC(with the births 2 years later, 5 GC), the King's Quest Companion places it approximately 5 years after the coronation. The KQ5 Hintbook and an article in InterAction Magazine (fall 1992) said the wedding took place "several" years after the coronation.
 * The TSL timeline places the bulk of KQ1 at one year before Graham's coronation. In the official timeline KQ1 and the coronation occur within the same year (0 GC).
 * The TSL timeline places the bulk of KQ2 at one year after Graham's coronation. Both KQ2 manual and King's Quest Companion also place KQ2 one year after KQ1. The KQ4 manual places it three years (3 GC) after KQ1.
 * The TSL timeline places the bulk of KQ3/4 at twenty years after Graham's coronation. In the official timeline KQ5/6 takes place 23 years (23 GC)after KQ1.
