Dating System

Nivarra uses two distinct calendar systems, marked by the creation of the League. Most member-states use the League Dating System, and many non-aligned powers have began to make use of it for ease of trade.

The LDS has two metrics by which dates are marked: League Record (LR), and Before League Record (BLR).

League Record
The League's creation marked a major turning point on the world of Nivarra. A large alliance made up of various member races, rose to dominate the continent of Arnen. To facilitate trade between the various races, who all possessed different calendars, the League Record was established with the founding of the League as year 0.

Eras
History is divided into eras of roughly 1,000 years. At the turning point of the thousandth year, the date resets and a new era begins. The current era is recorded and read aloud before the rest of the date.

The current year is 1E 067 LR.
