Granted. However, it seems pretty unlikely that G'aereth arrived in Dragarea city, joined the army, and the next day the Teckla Republic was overthrown. 

If he spent 50 or so years in the Jhegaala army (a fairly brief amount of time to a Dragaeran in military service) before the revolution, then that estimate is about right.

To the left, it's entirely possible that G'aereth's arrival in Dragarea City is what triggered the change in the Cycle. At least, we have no direct Textev to the contrary. If that were the case, I'd think Paarfi would likely have said something about it, however.
