I've started writting up that DQ fanfic... I've written up a fake timeline, cause they never give you any years.
So Adin becomes King in the year 100, in my story. Its only for mathamatical and time purposes, so as i said its fake, and for this stroy only.
Oh, and to make it easier.... I just had the Heir born the same year as me... I've finished the first chapter.... if you want me to post it.. I can.

Chapter 1: A Dream.
Year: 1400
Queen Aryll of Deltora looked at her newborn twin sons.
She felt a sudden sadness when she looked upon them both.
Her mother had been born among the Plains tribe. The same location as Opal the Dreamer, her ancestor.
Along with the aid of the Great Opal and her heritage, Aryll knew what would be in-store for these boys.
One would take her place in years to come.
One would die.
Murdered by a servant of the Shadow Lord, who was unaffected by the Belt’s power.
She knew which one it would be.
And as long as he stayed in the palace.
His death was certain.
A salty tear drop, trickled down the Queen’s pale cheek.
It was heartbreaking but she knew what she had to do.
She bundled one of her sons up in blankets, and wrote a simple note.
Dear Reader,
If you have found this letter, then I pray you have also found a child.
Take care of him, I beg you.
Name him what you will.
I thank-you for your kindness stranger.
Aryll was about to sign her name and place the seal on the letter, when she stopped herself.
No-one must know, if he is to be safe. She thought.
Two more tears, fell down her face.
Wrapped in a cloak, she ran out of the palace and found her way to a caravan leaving Del. She stowed the bundle of blankets baring her son in a basket, making sure he was secure she watched the driver. Unaware of his newest passenger. Leave the city gates and off into the distance.
No-one but Aryll knew she had twins.
And no-one would know.

Year: 2005
A small, but comfortable home on the outskirts of Hira, was showing signs of movement inside one summer morning, just like the rest of the homes around it.
It was late morning. Everyone was getting ready for work and school.
Everyone was.
Except one girl.
She was still asleep. A very fitful sleep.
She was tossing and turning, getting tangled in her sheets. She was breathing heavily and moaning.
This was all cut short when she tossed and turned a little too far near the edge of her bed.
And tumbled to the floor with a loud bang, entrapped in her bed linen.
Her emerald eyes snapped open on impact.
“What a weird dream?” she commented, as she looked around, catching her breath.
“Ami?” came a cry.
“Yeah Mum?” replied Ami.
“What are you doing in bed, you’ve got to be at the school in 15 minutes…”
Ami’s eyes widened. She quickly untangled herself and through on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, as she ran out her bedroom door, grabbing her schoolbag.
As she rushed down the stairs she grabbed a piece of toast off a plate and broke into a run, as she hurtled down the street, her shoulder-length black hair streaming behind her.
She rounded the corner and bumped, headfirst into a strange man.
She fell to the ground, were as he stood as stiff as a board. He completely garbed in black. Long black coat, shoes, pants and a long sleeved shirt. Black sunglasses hid his eyes. He was paler then a normal person, should be on an early summer morning.
“S-sorry!” Ami stammered.
He didn’t reply, and kept walking in the direction Ami had just come from.
Ami stared for a moment. What person would wear all that clothing, in the middle of summer?
She shrugged and started to break into a run again.

I just realised how short that was compared to normal chapters in books... 🙁
Meh short chapters aren't bad you just have to expand a bit.
Your timeline's pretty good, dunno if it's accurate but there is no way i'm going to look throught every book and point out some small detail you missed.
What is the second chapter going to be about, because you could combine them into a larger chapter then start a new chapter at some climactic moment.
