Imperial Calendar

The Great Imperial Calendar was created by Marius the Great, Emperor of Minthras, Bane of Dragons, the Vanquisher of Elves and the Protector of Men. Years are counted from the foundation of the Minthras Imperium, and are referred to as "Anno Imperii" (A.I.). Events before it are referred to as "Pre Imperium" (P.I.).

After the Unification of Aegeron it became the official calendar on the whole continent. Even though the Imperium is long gone now, not even the traditionalists in the Dwarven Dominion tried to bring back the calendars of old.

The current year is A.I. 487.
