Calendar

The formation of the Aldorean calendar can be dated back far before even the time of the Great King and Queen. The exact location or organisation responsible is something of a polemic issue (The Almarr Academy insists it was their own astronomers whereas the Librarians of Mytan holds an equally fierce claim). Nonetheless, the format of dates are always as follows;

Date-Month (Year Age)

So, for example, a date may be written as 9-Tian (48 Ashes). The specific date is only recorded in this way in official documents. Most of the time, only the relevant information is included (e.g. arranging a meeting with someone on 12-Jatta, remembering a celebration which took place in Minat (12)). As such, the Aldorean calendar can also be broken up into the months and the years/ages.

Years/Ages
There are 336 days in a year. The time before the recorded dates is referred to as the Formation Age, or simply Formation. Very few recorded dates remain from that time. An age lasts 100 years. The ages are named retrospectively during the final year of that age, when spiritual, religious, scientific and cultureal leaders from across Aldorea convene in Vallonde to name it. The age in progress is always simply called New Age.

The current year is 28 New Age.
