**The** **following** is an in-depth description of Earth; a world wiped clean and started again. The writers of this archive have come from all corners of the world and all eras of human existence. We exist to document and record the history of this Earth, so that it will not be lost as the last one has.

## **Our Organization**

Our organization is a collection of women across the world. All of us have attended The Sibylline Order of Exceptional Women, under the leader of our Reverend Mother. It is customary before graduation from this school to draft a thesis. The subject of this thesis is left up completely to the graduate candidate. The only requirement is that it must be completely factual, a strict documentation of the subject, unbiased truth. The thesis, upon review of our Sister Chronicler, is then added to this archive. No individual authors are to be credited; this is a product of all sister’s work; the grand collective of the Sibylline.

## **The World**

Our world, called Earth, has been divided into many territories. These territories have been designated by the Sibylline and contain within them people of similar race, culture, and background. These territories for all intents and purposes may be considered arbitrary, and wholly subjective.

## Earth Timeline

**The Final War** was the last world war human-kind participated in. All time before the Final War is referred to as Arcadia, or Goddess' Earth. Scorched Earth is the designation for Earth after Final War. During this time nuclear winter was common and much of Earth's surface was inhospitable. Those who did survive quickly perished within several generations since populations under 50 tended to become radically inbred due to extreme isolation. After this, however, we rebuilt. Human populations stabilized around -1600 EM and have been growing slowly ever since. \*Note: CE refers to the Arcadia calendar, translated to mean 'Common Era'

Timeline

## **Calendar and Time**

Although many records of time-keeping exist the most popular and widely used is the Valentinian Calendar. The Valentinian Calendar uses the Hellen Standard System, excising the Solstices and Equinoxes as days not belonging to any particular date. This results in the Valentinian Calendar being 4 days longer (364) than the Hellen Standard System (360).

### **Hellen Standard System**

The Hellen Standard System (HSS) was originally created by Sailors who wanted to ensure time keeping without relying on the moon. This system splits the year into 4 distinct Seasons. Each season’s end is marked by a Solstice or Equinox. This results in every season receiving about 90-92 days. The year starts at Genissi after the Winter Solstice, Zoi after the Vernal Equinox, Thora after the Summer Solstice, and Krýo, after the Autumnal Equinox.

Genissi (Dec 22 – March 20) Winter To Spring (90 days) Zoi (March 22- June 20) Spring To Summer Thora (June 22 – Sep 20) Summer to Fall Krýo (Sep 22 - Dec 20) Fall to Winter

**Thora** : Summer to Fall (June 22 – Sep 21)

**Krýo** : Fall to Winter (Sep 22 - Dec 21)

### **Valentinian Calendar**

The Valentinian Calendar, named after St. Valentina, divides the year into 4 seasons (90 days). Like the HSS each season’s end is marked by a Solstice or Equinox. However, the day of the solstice or equinox is separate from the season, and celebrated as holidays. The year starts at Valenti after the Day of Reckoning. Zoi after Baba Marta, Thora after All Saint’s Day, and Krýo, after the Harvest.

**Zoi** : Spring To Summer (March 22- June 20)

The Valentinian calendar starts at 0 EM (Era of Man) and counts upwards. The Year 0 EM is the year The Golden Saint was given sainthood.
