Fall of 79: Toivosaari's last days
- Illmari and Tapsa cross paths with Hilja during their fall scouting/hunting trip. The three of them travel together for a week.
- Illmari and Tapsa meet up with Lalli and Ensi, and tell the latter that Hilja has been absent-minded and taking a while to recognize people during the week the three of them travelled together. Everyone assumes it's one of the possible effects of old age.
- The group made of Ensi, Lalli, Illmari, Hilja, Tapsa and the latter's two cats spends two weeks in quarantine.
- As the group disembarks in Toivosaari proper, Lalli's mage senses are alerted by a bundle carried by Hilja. He gets Ensi involved, but Hilja asks her to look her in the eyes and tells her there is nothing special about the bundle. The entire rest of the Hotakainen family is established to be currently helping with the harvest on another island.
- A little over a week later: Hilja shows up for the bake sale, having apparently spent the entire time since the return in her home. She's seen conspicuously breathing towards Illmari's face and avoiding Tapsa and his cats.
- A little under two weeks later:
- The harvest party returns and gathers in the town center, including Jukka, Juha, Tuulikki and Anne-Mari. Onni and Tuuri don't join the gathering due to getting engrossed in other activities while dropping their family's bags at their home.
- A party including Ensi, Illmari and Tapsa is formed to raid Hilja's house. Lalli discreetly follows them. The bundle that had alerted Lalli earlier turns out to be infused with masking spells and to contain an infected rat. A member of the group figures out that Hilja has been under a kade's influence since before entering quarantine. A troll is found in Hilja's bedroom. Both rat beast and troll are quickly killed.
- While Ensi stays on site to guide Hilja to the afterlife, the entire rest of the raiding party leaves to address the fact that Hilja was contagious during the bake sale. Ensi quickly realizes that the kade's influence was extended to her when she was convinced to not look into the bundle. Knowing Lalli is still present, she has him bring her rifle to Onni and get them to an off-island safe spot with Tuuri in tow.
- A few days later: The quarantine boats arrive, and pick up the infected villagers, along with Onni, Tuuri and Lalli.
- After the quarantine (presumed to be the standard two weeks): Onni, Tuuri and Lalli are the only people from their village to be dropped off the boat.
- Some time later: Onni is hired in Keuruu, Tuuri and Lalli get apprenticeships for the jobs they are working at the beginning of Chapter 1.

- Day 3: The Dalahästen train arrives at Øresund military base, where Trond, Sigrun and Mikkel have already arrived. Sigrun, Mikkel, Tuuri, Lalli and Emil cross the Øresund bridge into the Silent world.
Minna went on record saying that she actually pictures the time the crew spent in the Silent World to be about twice what attentive fans basing themselves on the comic and on-page author notes alone have estimated note , meaning that about half of the expedition happened off-panel. Periods that would have technically have had space for off-panel days will be marked
- Day 4: Spot 24 book salvaging mission.
- [possible extra day(s) before the intial food supply runs out]

- Day 9:
- Lalli wakes up.
- Kitty gets her name.
- The crew starts travelling to Odense.
- During the two weeks covered by the the travel montage: Sleipnope acquires its permanent form and gathers allies.
After this point, the days are numbered assuming that the two weeks of travel were exactly fourteen days. The "~" is present to account for the fact that it can easily be a day or two later than that. Minna's statement makes the possibility of that travel having been on the short side of what one would call "two weeks" unlikely.

- The day is spent preparing for going to the pick-up spot on foot. The boat in mentioned to be two weeks away. The on-foot travel to the pick-up spot is estimated to take one week.
- Tuuri starts showing symptoms of the Rash and drowns herself.
Due to the incubation time of the Rash, the main story is on Day ~40 at the very latest at this point. The dates on Tuuri's grave confirm that the year is 91. However, there is plenty of time for some of the off-panel days after this point.

- Next morning: The crew is given directions to Väino's checkpoint.
- A couple days later: The crew goes through Väinö's checkpoint and into the Silent World area around Saimaa. Väinö warns them about a very fast and dangerous troll nicknamed "Surma" that tends to be attracted by gunshots over large distances. They quickly find one of Onni's old camping spots.
- Next day:
- After having set up camp for the night, the crew gets attacked by a troll and fulfills the requirements to attract Surma ten times over in the process of getting rid of it. Some of their equipment gets left behind.
- Onni is shown to still be alive and to be accompanied by a glowing bird identical to the form in which Tuuri was seen travelling to the afterlife.

- Uncertain number of days later: Encounter with wolf beasts that are dealt with using firearms. In the process of hiding from Surma, Lalli abandons a Rubik's cube from the scavenge that he had appropriated.
- Next day: Lalli decides to go back for his Rubik's cube under pretense of checking the crew's back, and notices Surma sheltering from the sun near the sliced-up bodies of the previous day's wolf beasts and cow beasts that had been eating them when the crew fled the site. Lalli returns to the crew's campsite, and the group runs to get as far away from Surma as possible.
- Uncertain number of days later:
- The crew finds Onni, who reluctantly takes them to his camp on a sprit-protected island.
- It turns out that Onni borrowed Tuuri's soul from the Finnish afterlife and was given limited time to either free his grandmother's soul from the kade that assimilated it or be the one that returns to the afterlife alongside Tuuri. With the crew's help, a plan is made to trap the bears in pit with pikes at the bottom.
- Next day: The trap is set for the bear beasts guarding the kade. The trap only manages to wound the bears, who leave a blood trail that the group can follow the following day.
- Next day: A mix of rain and the mother bear being alert results in the group not reaching the bears before they climb part of a mountain to escape them.
- Next day: The plan to deal with the bears while on the mountain results in the weak link among the bears being badly injured and the mother responding by letting out a roar that attracts Surma.
