I have just realised there is exactly one year between exiting Candlekeep and escaping Chez Irenicus. Assuming 2-3 months for BG1 and being tortured by maximum a month before starting BG2, that still leaves 8-9 months for the party to split up.
Plenty of time for Quayle to set up a circus, Edwin to work for the Shadow Thieves or Neera to create her Hidden Refuge. It also makes sense the party splits, as once Sarevok is dead, most people will just go their own way. They should remember Charname, though.
Also, no matter how long you stay in the dungeon, once you get out, it is day 1 at 7am. Can someone confirm?
