Abarisian Calendar
The Abarisian Calendar was created by Saint Alabariachus the Elven and is primarily used by mages to provide what they view as a logical and neutral means to discuss time, irrespective of local dating systems. The Abarisian Calendar also tends to count years within a specific Epoch (each of variable length), said to have been defined by Saint Alabariachus himself, though it is considered appropriate to count from the foundation of . Weekday names are not used and days are counted from the start of the seasons: Garnheggan (summer), Ralishar (autumn), Noxheggan (winter) and Marageddon. Like traditional dating systems, they tend to divide each day into twenty-four hours, but count those hours evenly regardless of the local sunrise and sunset.
The current Abarisian Year is 8348 FO, the 42nd Year of the Epoch of Red Scroll.
