Dating system
The Astralis Calendar uses a dating system based on the number of days elapsed since a specific starting point. This starting point, known as the Astral Epoch, marks the beginning of the calendar and is set to a significant celestial event, such as a solstice or equinox.
Each day is counted sequentially from the Astral Epoch, with the years divided into eras to mark significant shifts in history or cultural developments. The eras are named after key events or transitions in the Kingdom of Saen.
For example:
- Astral Epoch: The starting point of the calendar, marking a significant celestial event.
- Era of Solara: The first era, representing the early development of civilization in the Kingdom of Saen.
- Era of Exploration: A later era, denoting a period of exploration and expansion.
- Era of Renewal: A more recent era, symbolizing a time of cultural or technological renewal.
Dates in the Astralis Calendar would be written as follows: [Era Name] [Day Number], [Year]
For example:
Era of Solara 125, Year 452
Era of Exploration 367, Year 813
Era of Renewal 42, Year 1046
This dating system provides a unique way to track time within the context of the Kingdom of Saen, with each era reflecting different periods of history and cultural significance.
