[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7966954, member: 6816692"] Well, countries that were heavily dominated by the Clergy / had been part of Crisillyir before would certainly adopt their calendar. They also adopted common as their primary language (well, Drakr didn't, but Danor and Crisillyir had once been one nation). I specifically meant Risur, the "oddball backwater nation" as some of the "enlightened Northeners" would call them. Yes, they use their own language in their day to day lives and they'd certainly use their own calendar. I also consider the fact that even in our modern, globalized world, nations like China or the nations that had once been Persia still use their own traditional calendars, plus the fact that our "counting point" is not linked to something that calls a mass genocidal event "Our Victory" (and i [I]if[/I] so many people speak common, then they [I]will[/I] know what that term means). So if others would adopt their calendar, they'd at least call it "AM" and "BM". I understand that it makes less hassle to use one term for all nations from a gaming perspective, but it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. Also, in our campaign we shifted to a new calendar system after [SPOILER]saving the world from the Gyre[/SPOILER]: Counting the years "After Dawn" and "Before Crisis". The events surrounding the Starfall event had a much bigger impact on the world and its political systems than the Malice. [/QUOTE]
