Notes: Isola's calendar

The Calendar’s Start

  • The calendar begins with Year 1 of the Dawnmarked Era (D.E.), marking the end of the War of the Five, and the beginning of the Age of Flame and Tide.

  • Before that, years are only vaguely remembered as “the Age of the Old World” or “the Forgotten Reckoning.”

  • The Sundering Dawn – the war ended in fire and light, breaking the power of the five and sanctifying two.

  • Today's year: It has been 734 years since the Sundering Dawn. The current year is 734 D.E.
