	"It’s important to realize that there is an astronomical calendar, which takes into account the movement of the Sun, Moon, and stars, and then there’s the civilian calendar, which is what everyone else uses. So, for example, today’s date is, uh, 17 April 46,89. The reason it is the year 46,89 is because that’s when our calendar started counting. Tem is '''much''' older than that, it’s just that we’ve been using the same calendar for thousands of years. Technically, it’s called the Absolute Calendar, and it was developed by scholars of the Old Janee, at the Muhjan Academy, around the year 20,03. It’s used everywhere today, in Janee, Malanthea, and so on. Hmm, I’m not sure how they decided what year 1 was, for that you’ll have to speak to a historian, I suppose.

	"Why are there two calendars, you ask? Well, like I explained a moment ago, a day is not exactly 24 hours long, when you look carefully, like we do. That means that, after a few years, the civil calendar doesn’t line up with what the Sun, Moon, and stars are doing. So the civil calendar is wrong, and eventually needs to be corrected so that the clocks match up. It is tweaked by adding in an extra day, called an inter-calendar day, or dark night, on June 21, every now and then, just to fix things.		"Why are there two calendars, you ask?

	Ruling Kalderani agencies and scholars use the Absolute Calendar (AC) reckoning, in the tradition of the Old Janee and Malanthean scholars. The start of the calendar is at a very remote date, well before the age of any known artefacts, and coincides with the moment of a triple-conjunction of an eclipsed Sun with Exalted Tower (a star visible in winter).
