The Calendar
It is currently the year 617 S.R. Here’s a link to the current calendar, including details associated with the Dragonslayer Cohort.
The five days of the week were named for the gods that favored the armies of of the last battle.
- Bahmsday (Named for Bahamut, god of justice)
- Pelsday (Named for Pelor, god of the sun)
- Morsday (Named for Moradin, god of creation)
- Iounsday (Named for Ioun, god of prophecy)
- Meloren (Named for Melora, goddess of the sea)
The months of the year were renamed in honor of the 5 leaders of the free people’s army that defeated Malphas.
- Aelril – Named for the elven general Aelril Elmmender. She led the lightning assault of elvish rangers on the twisted metallic war machines of the warforged battle group, stopping the barrage of artillery that were hammering Tyden’s ritual sanctuary.
- Marden - Named for the Warlord General Marden Belefas, the grand strategist who planned the successful defence of the last free territories and ultimate tactician on the fields of Parhelion.
- Garem - Named for the dwarven general Garem Shaleshins.
- Rouenne - Named for the arcanist Rouenne Pentaryn, who crafted the phylactery that housed the soul of the demon lord Malphas Naraephon.
- Tyden - Named for Brother Tyden, priest of Meloren, who sacrificed his body to be possessed by by the goddess, summoning her to the battlefield at Parhelion.
Most known people use the Standard Reckoning (S.R.) calendar for telling time, it was created to match the modified cycles of time created after the battle of Parhelion. Dates prior to the battle are known as “B.F.” for “Before the Fracture”. For example, it’s known that the fall of the bastion city of Erasamel occurred on 37 B.F. to the dragonkin general Hurra’l Garre’k. Documents discovered prior to the fracture are identified with the label “A.L.” which is thought to translate to “The Age of Light“.
Unfortunately, events prior to 50 B.F. tend to be circumspect based on the incompleteness of historical records.
