Meta:Calendar systems in Jotunnheim

Time in Jotunnheim is currently measured through four calendar systems, BP, CY, AE, DC and GA. As Jotunnheim is a fictional steampunk world, sense of time is obviously different from that of Earth, though the current era is roughly equivalent to 1930s Earth.

BP

BP, or Before Present, is a purely meta system used for determining the time frame relative to that of Earth. It is not used by any nations or peoples in-world. The current year in BP is obviously 0 BP, and counts backwards from there.

CY

CY, or Common Year, is the most widely(?) used calendar system in Jotunnheim. The calendar starts with the crowning of the Marphat King X. The current year in CY is 4627 CY.

AE

AE, also known as After Enlightenment or the Kunwidya calendar, is the second most widely used calendar system in Jotunnheim. The calendar starts with the birth of The Prophet, and is used mostly by countries with a Kunwidya majority. Any period before the birth of the prophet uses BE or "Before Enlightenment." The current year in AE is 839 AE.

DC

DC, or Dynastic Calendar, is the calendar used within Samatkhaoul and its cultural sphere. It is divided up into several sections, each corresponding to the rule of a specific dynasty in Samatkhaoul. The current year in DC is G242 DC.

GA

GA, or Great Age, is the calendar system used within Chiöq and several other non-Kunwidya countries in Huo. The calendar starts at the alleged founding of the mythical Xiaar state in 398BCY (or 1GA.) The current year in GA is 5160 GA.
