36!!Reconstructed timeline of ''The Longest Journey Home''
37''Tome of the Balance'' artbook (''TB'' in following) contains several references to the events of ''TLJH'':
38
39|| '''Event''' || '''Date''' || '''Reference''' ||
40||April and Crow embark on a journey across Arcadia,\
41"going beyond the Border Mountains and to the far east" ||2209[[note]]"After saving the Balance"[[/note]] ||''TB'', p.90 ||
42||April and Crow meet Anna in the Northlands and help her find a new purpose in life ||2209[[note]]"soon after they saved the Balance"[[/note]] ||''TB'', p.106 ||
43||April and Crow have a falling out and go separate ways ||2210[[note]]"separated for eight years, before reuniting in ''Dreamfall''" -- if ''Dreamfall'' takes place in January 2219, "eight years ago" was likely in mid-to-late 2110[[/note]] ||''TB'', p.90 ||
44||April meets Captain Balsay Bachim while looking for a fast ship and\
45convinces him to abandon his collaborationist ways and to join the rebels ||2215[[note]]"five years ago [before ''Dreamfall Chapters'']" -- if ''Chapters'' takes place in 2220[[/note]] ||''TB'', p.77 ||
46||Na'ane comes to the Swamp City, meeting Chawan, Captain Bachim, and April ||???? ||''TB'', p.112 ||
47||Likho joins the rebels and has a brief affair with April, which she cuts short ||???? ||''TB'', p.103 ||
48
49Based on these glimpses, the pre-''Dreamfall'' part of ''TLJH'' would have likely consisted of at least two distinct story arcs: April and Crows' travels immediately after their return from the Guardian's Realm, showcasing her growing bitterness and his increasing dissatisfaction with it (2209 to early 2211), and April's efforts to join the resistance and to build up the colorful cast of rebels we meet in ''Dreamfall'' (ca. 2215 and beyond).
