Ekumen chronology

This is a rough proposed chronology for the works in the Ekumen series. The chronology is estimated, as Ursula K. Le Guin has not published an "official" timeline.

• c.2300 CE / LY -50 / EY ? - The Dispossessed
• c.2368 CE / LY 18 / EY ? - The Word for World Is Forest
• c.2684 CE / LY 334 / EY ? - Rocannon's World
• c.3755 CE / LY 1405 / EY ? - Planet of Exile
• c.4370 CE / LY 2020 / EY ? - City of Illusions
• c.4670 CE / LY 2520 / EY 1491- The Left Hand of Darkness

CE = Common Era (aka "AD")

LY = League Year

EY = Ekumen Year
