Calendar

• In historical records, years in Khorvaire are based on the establishment of the Empire of Galifar, 998 years ago (present day being 998 YK). Anything before that is denoted with a negative number (the War of the Mark in -500 YK).
• In Adar, the years are based around the arrival of Taratai and her quori brethren, in -802 YK (so the current year is 1800 AT). In Riedra, the establishment of the Inspired’s rule is the basis, dating back to -302 YK (so the current year is 1300 Unity).
  • Riedra has no monthly or weekly calendar, relying on season changes, while Adar has recently instituted a monthly calendar.
