So this might be a topic for Cyf, but the Khmer Empire collapsed in 1431. Both Forgotten Temple and Apocalypse take place way after that. So does this really appear in those media? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 23:24, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Forgotten Temple is set during 1425, that's what the first issue summary says. Or did I overlook something in later issues? – Darman (talk) 23:40, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

1725. It's following Edward's adventures post Black Flag. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 23:50, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Lol, oops, misread its date as being 14XX for some reason. – Darman (talk) 01:25, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

I wanna get Cyf's take on this though because pre 1431 and post 1431 Cambodia seems to be the same polity just with a moved capital and diminished influence. So I wonder if it's more a western view on Cambodian historiography that isn't reflected by eastern scholars. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 01:37, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Could it just be that Hendrik was going off info that was two centuries out of date while writing his sea log? He and Edward and co. don't know the Empire's long since collapsed? VilkaIsBack (talk) 09:26, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
