Earth Calendar

The era-based dating system used to mark years, births, and public records across the world of Yscariot.

Dating System

The timeline language that keeps the world synchronized.

Earth Calendar is the record-keeping framework that gives Yscariot's world a shared historical rhythm. Character biographies, births, and major milestones are marked with era-based dating such as GA19, making the timeline feel internal to the world rather than borrowed from the reader's everyday calendar.

The term also matters because other legacy entries point to turning points like 01GA, showing that economics, politics, and public life are all organized around a recognized Earth-era system. It is one of the quieter details that makes the setting feel fully built.

Years

Two eras define how the larger timeline is read.

There are two calendars in the Yscariot story line: Before Global Alliance and Global Alliance. Due to the Continental Nations agreement to use a single calendar, the months were switched six months forward to accompany the sun's alignment with the Earth.

Much of the story takes place during Global Alliance, however, plans to create side stories (known as The Chronicles of Yscariot) will have certain stories told before the birth of Yscariot.

Months

The seasonal order follows the Global Alliance calendar.

In accordance with Earth's custom, all countries abide by the Global Alliance calendar where the first month begins on Kapricus, the first official day of Winter and is recognized as the first month of the year. The first fifteen days in KPC are known as "First Moon". The second set of days in the month are known as the "First Sun".

Summers have the longest days in the month, where other seasons host longer nights. Gymanus hosts the Final Sun & Moon and is the mark of the summer. Every month has 30 days each.

Glossary Note

The month order was restored while Gymanus kept its school-year role.

The calendar for the order of each month has been returned to the original dates to avoid confusion; however, Gymanus will still remain as the turnover period for students moving into the new school year. Changes took effect on February 19th, 2018.
