Timeline

There exists approximately 10 000 years of (semi) recorded history in Avȳs. There exist conflicting records, as well as religious histories maintained by the various faiths littered throughout Avȳs. The biggest contradiction in can be found between the races of Eldar and Man.

To simplify things, the dates used in the headers is done with the Eldaran dating system, while the human dates are providing in the descriptions.

Dating System
There are two primary dating systems used in Avȳs; one by the Eldar, and the other by Men. No dating systems use "zero" as the first year of their calendar.

Eldar Dating System
The Eldaran dating system is rather simple and straightforward, though a little dubious with some events. Placing themselves at the centre, the Eldars simply date years from their awakening, labeling the years as " EA ", Eldaran Age. The murky ages prior to their existence they label as " GU ", the Great Unknown.

Human Dating System
The human dating system uses the emergence of Reiyā and the bond with Dragons as their focal point. Everything before Reiyā came into existences is referred to as " PR ", prior to Reiyā, although some humans use it to derogatorily refer to the previous ages (which were under Eldaran rule) as the "PRimitive age". PR dates count backwards (ie, it's basically how AD/BC works for us). The years after the emergence of Reiyā are dated as " DR ", standing for "the Dragons' Reign".

Although not widely used, the years since the Dragons have disappeared (or at least become rare enough to be near extinct) is sometimes dated as " KA " or " AK ", Kinslayer's Age/Age of the Kinslayer, and further alternatively referred to as the " QA ", ''the Queenslayers Age. ''This dating is used primarly by the royal families and governments of Asārum (AK), Embar (KA), and Zhavor (QA), who had the closest ties to the Dragons. The name comes after the infamous Kinslayer/Queen Slayer, who assassinated the Last Dragon, a great Empress, before she could successfully unite all the western nations into a single realm. His actions are thought to be directly tied to the loss of dragons around the world. Zhavor particular despises him as the Last Dragon was Zhavorsi in origin.

The Mother of Dragons (5000 EA)
Instead referred to as "the Infestation" by the Eldar, this time period is seen as the origin of the existence of Reiyā abilities.
