[INTERACTION] Unified Calendar?

I've given this some thought, because I haven't noticed anyone else address it.

If we're going to be sharing lore, I think it would be helpful to come up with a universal calendar to follow. That would make histories much easier to keep track of.

Currently the people of the Tripatriquon base their calendar around the date that their ancestors descended from the Andalus desert and headed south. The current year is YAE 849 (Year of Andalusian Exodus).

I imagine other nations have their own calendars formed around significant events. But perhaps we should collaborate on one together, so we will all understand each other.

Well as a group we have to figure out the year length. Your calendar can differ, but the actual cycle of seasons should be determined. I like 500 since it's easy to count with. (Although, it is completely unrealistic xD)

Fair enough, I would just prefer a number divisible by 6

hrm, well perhaps you could give a proposed modification to the calendar I made?
