Imperial Calendar

The Imperial Calendar, also known as the World Calendar, is the primary civil calendar system used by most countries and all historians, since Imperial Year 10000, within The World. The Imperial Calendar was first introduced by Noctis Lilty, but did not go into full use until the reign of Astel Lilty in Imperial Year 0003. It wasn't until Imperial Year 10000 and the coronation of Mihli Lilty that the Imperial Calendar became recognized as the primary international calendar by historians.

Before Imperial Calendar

 * The Ancients create their kingdom. They immediately begin a genocide of all other species they find.

 * Human Kingdoms of Anaeas - Londinium - Ashlan - Valencia are founded, no major connection to the three species.
 * The Faceless begin to corrupt the three races through the crystals, the dragons realize this and so many of them become one with the world [crystals] to protect it. This causes many sections of the world to be propelled up into the 5th swell.
 * Lesser races men and such are caught in this split of the world. They are forced to come into contact with the three races in a major way.
 * The split causes the goblins/elves/dwarfs to war with each other for control of the under kingdom, much of their technology was lost through the splitting of the world
