As far as I know, we run on liquid time, so there isn't really an exact date, nor a timeline for events. I can see how one might think this is a bit too free, but it really gives space for a lot (and I mean a lot) of creativity and character growth. :P
I was slightly overwhelmed when I first joined(this was also my first RP site), but I just winged it, asked a lot of questions, and now have a pretty firm idea of what Le'raana is and what's happening, though I understand your apprehension.
