History

The most widely used calendar in the human lands is the Zalasterian Calendar. Since humans trade with all other races, they generally are cognizant of how the dates are arranged on their calendar. Thusly, the Zalasterian Calendar is the most widely recognized calendar in use. It breaks all world events into those that happened before the prophet Zalaster was killed and ascended to live with Olor's essence (BA or Before Ascendance) and those that happened after (AA After Ascendance).
