Common Reckoning

A shared calendar for a scattered system

Nearly 700 years after the collapse of Kharos, the Concord established the system-wide calendar now known as the Common Reckoning (CR). That moment, marked as CR 0, coincided with a rare planetary alignment whose arcane resonance was undeniable. Spells behaved strangely. Dreams sharpened. For a brief moment, the system seemed to hum in tune.

The age that followed was defined not by conquest or dominion, but by uneasy cooperation. Factions gained footholds. Trade routes expanded. And while Talereth would remain semi-isolated for centuries, even there the slow tide of reconnection began to rise, shaped by old tensions, emerging powers, and the lingering echo of what came before.

Yet even now, the system’s fragile order relies on relics of the past... Kharosan artifacts, wards, and enchantments no longer fully understood.
