I have trouble reading this map. I don't really understand why the main timeline is a partial circular, and it is hard to track where the points are going on the map.

The data is interesting, but I can't appreciate the presentation.

The War of the Ring is when the circular portion ends, and is separate to make it easier to read. As you can tell there were a lot of different events during that time period, which would have been difficult to fit in the circle without enlarging it a lot.
