[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 3113315, member: 2012"] [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Calendar of Swords[/B][/COLOR] Before the time of Gabriel Stonn and the calendar he created the only method of tracking the days and seasons of the years was by using the archaic [B]Calendar of Swords[/B] designed by the [B]Old Sword Imperium[/B]. [B]The CoS[/B], as it was abbreviated, was designed for recording historic and military achievements of the Imperium. It was never used to track the birth dates of the masses, festivals, or the changing seasons. The only birth dates ever recorded on the CoS were those of the [B]King-Priests[/B] and a few of the more ambitious [B]Dead Emperors[/B]. Another problem with the calendar was that only a few individuals on Harqual knew how to decipher it. The CoS was written with strange archaic symbols that are still etched into the ziggurats. (The current year is 2460 CoS.) [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]The Third Calendar[/B][/COLOR] The third calendar is not really a physical calendar at all. The abbreviation [B]D.W.[/B] refers to the time that passed from the end of the Divinity War to the Year of the Dawn. Thus, it only spans from [B]1 D.W. to 1001 D.W.[/B] No one ever uses it to refer to events before or after these years and most never use it regardless. This abbreviation only came into use after the tabaxi returned to Harqual in 749 N.C., the Year of the Return. After that had occurred, there was finally a way for scholars to note when the Divinity War actually ended and important D.W. dates are usually noted on The New Calendar. (The 1,001 years correspond to -253 N.C. to 748 N.C. Remember, there is no such thing as 0 N.C.) [/QUOTE]
