Galhafan Chronology

From FrathWiki

There is no single standardized chronology on Galhaf, or at least, I haven't discovered it yet. Largely because I haven't worked out the exact relationship between different periods of time. For this reason, I use several chronological scales. Eventually they will be unified.

Contents 1 Kasshi Year Counts 2 Shivrashan Year Counts 3 Sanle Year Counts 4 Pan-Odiran Year Counts

Kasshi Year Counts

• Chinrasta's Theocracy
  • YP = Year of Paradise - the era preceding the Ignorance, according to Nrastaist theology, an era of bliss destroyed when the Rebels entered the world and corrupted it; said to have lasted 1,728 (12³) years
  • YW = Year of the World - Dated from the supposed creation of the world; 1 YW = 1 YP
  • YI = Year of Ignorance - the era preceding the Revelation; said to have lasted 20,736 (12⁴) years. 1 YI = 1729 YP
  • YF = Year of Faith - Years beginning with the Revelation. 1 YF = 20,737 YI = 22,465 YW
• Second Kasshi Empire
  • BE = Before the Empire - years preceding Chalanya's enthronement; this was rarely used at the time. Instead, it was more common to date years according to the era they were in, thus YP for mythological events, YI for historical events preceding the Revelation, YF for events between the Revelation and the founding of the Empire
  • IE = Imperial Era - began with the crowning of Chalanya as Empress (1 IE = 192 YF = 22,656 YW)

Others

• Calendrical Era - used to calculate the traditional calendar. 1 CE = 12 YF = 180 BE; 1 IE = 181 CE

Shivrashan Year Counts

For most of Shivrashan's history, they used neighboring cultures' calendars. Following the Shivrashan Crisis, a chronology was adopted dating from the Battle of Shivrashan Pass.

• BShE = Before the Shivrashanian Era
• ShE = Shivrashanian Era; 1 ShE = year of the Battle of Shivrashan Pass = 236 OE

Sanle Year Counts

The Sanle generally counted years according to the current Empress. Sanle historians also counted from the mythical founding of the Empire.

Pan-Odiran Year Counts

• BOE = Before the Odiran Era
• OE = Odiran Era ; 1 EC = The year that Navesh captured Shivrashan, leading to the Era of East-West Contact

This is the closest thing to a global chronology that exists.
