Locke Lamora timeline

When Locke shows the casks of brandy to Don Salvara, he says the 559 is last year's. That places the action of Lies in 560. Barsavi came to Camorr 22 years ago. 560 - 22 = 538. When Chains takes Locke to meet Barsavi, he says Barsavi came five years ago. 538 + 5 = 543, the year Locke joins the Gentlemen Bastards. I'm assuming the Therin and Vadran years start at the same time.

538
Barsavi comes to Camorr; there are thirty capas

539
there are ten capas

-"The Lady of the Long Silence" - "Jean Tannen entered the service of the Death Goddess about half a year after Locke returned from his sojourn in the priesthood of Nara." Jean stays at Relevation House about three months. This could maybe take place in 549, depending on how long after "The Half Crown War" Locke leaves.
