Moon Calendar

## The Moon Calendar

The Moon Calendar is the official tracking of both history and time in Rkadia. Initially, the inhabitants of Rkadia marked the passing of time by great spans, such as centuries and eons. As rangers live far shorter than Bear Guards, Hex Moon came up with the Moon Calendar to help log the lore and holiday events.

## The Ages

### The Beginning Age

**(April 2017 - September 2017)**

The age in where the first Rangers crash-landed into Rkadia.

###

### The Junkyard Wars

**(October 2017)**

The first major conflict took place in Rkadia during the Junkyard Wars. Tensions rose between Moon City and Scrap City, resulting in an all out battle that would eventually overthrow the Trash-King.

### The First Winter

**(November 2017 - January 2017)**

Also known as the brief peace, many Rangers who were injured or traumatized from the war enjoyed this brief yet peaceful time.

### The Blueberry Wars

**(February 2017 - April 2018)**

Shortly after the discovery of the Blueberry Isles, the Bear Guard Gnaw-Paw corrupted Hex moon, causing Rkadia's second war to break out between Moon City and the newly founded Blueberry Isles Union.

### The Nights and Lords Summons
