I'd happily accept Danial's version of events.

I find it interesting that this would mean that Sypha was encased in stone for perhaps 25-30 years (since Judgment implies she set out to stop Dracula shortly after Lisa's death).  Trevor remarks that he'd always wanted to know what Sypha was like during this period, and what a different era it was.

I have to wonder about how the order of events might have gone.  Dracula unleashes some fury after Lisa's death.  Church sends out Sypha to destroy him.  Could Sypha ever had met Alucard or Sonia during her first ill-fated expedition?  Could the church have found Sonia after Sypha failed to return?

Hey, you're the one who started this by asking in the first place. :P

It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Yeah man. You can't always control where a thread goes, as long as it's not vituperative or *crazy random* off-topic, a bit of meandering from other folks is fine. ^^

Yeah, but I didn't ask for an in-depth thing on exactly how many years are between Lisa's death and CV3.

Nor did I want to hear about Sypha being a Gargoyle from that Disney cartoon or whatever the hell you guys are talking about.

Why does it even matter to you?

Your question has been answered has it not?

Why not let them have their fun.

Yeah, it's natural for threads like this to turn into a Wild Mass-Guessing thread. You of all people should've expected it, being a Troper and all.

That is pretty brilliant, Danial.  It incorporates everything yet things make enough sense.  I'm sure someone here will probably nitpick it but it sounds plausible enough to me.  Good job!

And yes, Dracula LOVES pulling the old "I totally died but didn't!" on the GB titles. xD

It is a little odd, but I have a theory that Iga was beginning to accept that Legends, CotM, CV64, and LoD could be incorporated into his timeline.  He's never come right out and said it, but references to those games had been popping up near the end of his tenure.  Also, it would explain why he changed Lisa's death date.  Having her die a couple years before Legends allows Dracula enough time to declare a fuck-this-world-war on everyone out of anger and using the slightly powerful yet limited resources available to him at that time.

1426
-Ryudomiru is born.

1433
-Sonia Belmont is born.

14xx
-Lisa, Alucard's mother, is condemned to death as a witch.  Alucard() may have witnessed her execution.


1448
–After Lisa’s death, Ryudomiru(22) pledges his allegiance to Alucard(51) because Lisa had healed his parents.
-Ryudomiru is mortally wounded and turned into a vampire by the incubus Magnus.
-Alucard defeats Magnus.

1450
-Castlevania Legends
   -Sonia Belmont(17) defeats Dracula(388) with the help of his son Alucard.
   -Alucard enters a state of hibernation to remove his cursed bloodline from the world.

1452
-Isaac LaForeze is born.  He has the natural powers of a Demon Forgemaster.

1455
-Hector is born.  He has the natural powers of a Demon Forgemaster.

1456
–Trevor C. Belmont is born.

1459
–Julia LaForeze, Isaac’s sister, is born.

1476
-Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

Instead of actually dying by Sonia's hands, Dracula pulls the old appear-to-be-dead-but-actually-escape-as-mist-trick that he would later use again on Christopher Belmont.  This allows Dracula 26 years to bide his time, become more powerful, grow a larger army of monsters, and even tutor a couple of young Devil Forgemasters as generals.  Also, keep in mind that Dracula's war had started long before Trevor set off on his quest.  So we're probably looking at less than 20 years.
One mistake.  Alucard DID in fact witness his mother's execution.

That last sentence about Alucard is a leftover from an early version of the timeline.  Thanks for pointing that out, it slipped by me when I posted it.

Also, thanks for the compliments Reinhart and Jorge.  My obsession for lists is paying off!  :)
