Talensi Calendar (Common Timeline)

**The Talensi Calendar** is canonically used by citizens of the Talensi Empire, including the denizens of Janiko. In the RoS community it plays the role of a "Universal Timeline" which unites all custom calendars of various Nomos nations and peoples.

The Calendar is unique in a few ways:

* The calendar has no consistent numerology. Instead, its ages begin and end with certain important events;
* An age can last either for centuries or for less than a hundred years;
* Ages are given special poetic names which relate to the major starting event.

### Currently known ages

**Indomitable Serpent Age (ISA)** — 101 years — begins with the shattering of the Hendsuo Empire, the mortal enemy of the Talensi people

**Magnificence Age (MA)** — 78 years — begins with the vassalisation of the Kitnoruni peoples after Serpent-Touched Emperor Janiko II's two southern campaigns;

**Discord Centuries (DC)** — 469 years — begins with the death of the last Serpent-Touched Emperor Agomipal III and the collapse of the Second Talensi Empire;

**Unification Age (UA)** — 99 years — begins with the publishing of Imperial Proclamations by Emperor-Restorer Simigolm II;

**Discovery Age (DA)** — 0 to present day — begins with the founding of Janiko by first Talensi sailors to explore the land of Nomos.
