Pern Timeline
From Triad wiki
Article by: Suzee, Avery
The books start their timeline from the date colonists landed on Pern. Then they count the Turns based on the Pass or Interval. Triad had a large gap of over 1200 turns between the last pass and the current one. Therefore we thought we'd help you figure out your dates by providing the following data.
