+===== Epoch Events =====
+Most dates you will find referring to historical events use the **"Founding Calendar",** counting its years since the founding of the civilization of Aldeberon on ancient [[settings:torandor|Torandor]], and the founding of imperial Dahabu on Cahyali. The Founding Calendar is most commonly used in scholarly circles and academics, as its dates are the same across both Jaern and Cahyali. However, the common people don't often use this calendar. Dates on the Founding Calendar are denoted as BF (Before Founding) and SF (Since Founding).
+On Jaern, most count their years from the year that the Kaaren of Destruction landed on [[settings:jaern:geleia|Geleia,]] Jaern from Torandor (on 7812 SF). This is known as the **Arrival Calendar,** and dates are denoted as BA (Before Arrival) and AA (After Arrival). One can convert from the Founding Calendar to the Arrival Calendar by subtracting 7812 from the Founding date.
+On Cahyali, most count their years from the [[history:cahyali:solarwrath|Day of Solar Wrath]], the date that the [[settings:cahyali:dahabu|Dahabu]] Empire fell (on 7524 SF). This is known as the **Solar Calendar,** and dates are denoted as BW (Before Wrath) and SW (Since Wrath). One can convert from the Founding Calendar to the Solar Calendar by subtracting 7524 from the Founding date.
+No matter which epoch event is used, the months, days, and weeks remain consistent across all calendar systems.

 The Festival of the Foretelling is significant to At'enites, who meditate on the first day, seeking inspiration and guidance from their goddess. On the second day, this vigil ends and temples hold large feasts, and at the end of these feasts a temple's high priest comes out to preach and divine future events for the populace. On the third day, the festival winds down as At'enites spend time with their loved ones and celebrate life.
+===== Cahyali =====
+The many countries of Cahyali celebrate too many local holidays to be feasibly listed down, but there are a few internationally notable ones. Cahyali's seasons are similar to Earth, although their winters and summers can last slightly longer.
