Calendar of Valdesoth

In the current recorded history, there are three eras. The first era was Anno Ante, which catalogues the nebulous time from the creation of Valdesoth up until just prior to the war of the gods. Much of this time is truly unrecorded, only estimate dates and records that are badly damaged and up to interpretation and is measured backwards from the start of Anno Tenebris.
The second era, Anno Tenebris, begins with the war of the gods and only ends when the final ripples of the conflict finished. This era lasted 7,862 years.
The third era is Anno Viridi, the current era.
== The Fourteen Months ==
Most kingdoms on Valdesoth use a lunar calendar. The first of each month correlates with the New Moon and the sixteenth day is the full moon, each month being twenty-eight days long. There are thirteen months in a year, though on the twenty-eighth year a fourteenth month is added to the calendar. Over the course of the yearly cycle this means that spring slips into the final month of the year. The leap years are often referred to as long winters.
