I still can't figure out why the Season of Storms date of 1245 is disregarded as inconsistent based only on the implication that Geralt went to fight striga immediately after plot of Season of Storms. If you read his interaction with Cat of Ielo Geralt believes striga rumors are hogwash and states that he has no intention of going to Vizima. Furthermore it is stated in the Witcher short story that striga has been preying on people for 7 years. 1245+7=1252 which lines up perfectly with standard pre SoS timeline, date of Ciri's birth in 1252 and so on. Short stories that need to be pushed back into 1240s are the Bounds of Reason, a Shard of Ice and Eternal flame, placing them into 1249-1251 period but I mean it can work. If apply the rules of what is canon and what is not, 1245 is canonical year of Season of Storms because it is explicitly mentioned in the books and all other dates should be worked around it (at least that's how other wikis and fandoms do it).
