CALENDAR
The Calendar System that is used in the Empire was one that was adapted from the work of one of the previous Grand Ministers of the Nameless Guild, pre-ascendancy period. Being that it was already recognized by familial clans from all over the continent, the first Emperor decided that it was best to keep it. The names of the months of the calendar were mostly based on seasons and it was set that there are 30 days to every month which would amount to an even and auspicious 360 days per year.

The correct manner of writing dates for this role play is as follows: day, month and year. One must also remember to always affix I.A. after the year to be specific of when something transpired. (To be fair, A.Y. is long gone, so we are all stuck with I.A. unless we, the Realm Creators, are writing for lore.)
Examples:
29th of Sun's Height, 101 I.A.
11th of Morning Star, 12 I.A.
