It is known that when both Luna and Celene are either full or new, and the wandering stars have themselves achieved positions of power within the Zodiac, events of great portent are likely to occur on our world. The fate of civilization may be in the balance, and the involvement of great magic is almost certain. The appearance of a falling star has further significance, and a great pale comet or bright exploding star hovering in the darkness is a harbinger of cataclysm.

The following is the standard calendar familiar to the civilized inhabitants of the Flanaess. The calendar used here is very old, much of it predating the founding of the Great Kingdom in the year 1 CY. It is important to note that the Common Year calendar does not have a “zero year.’ Most historians of the Flanaess use other dating systems when talking about ancient history.
The current year is now early spring 576 CY. This year is 1220 OR in the Oeridian Record calendar, 6091 SD in the Suloise Dating system of the old Suel Imperium, 5038 OC in the Olven Calendar, 3235 BH of the Baklunish Hegira calendar and 2726 FT in Flan Tracking. It has been 997 years since the Invoked Devastation and Rain of Colorless Fire destroyed the Baklunish Empire and Suel Imperium.
