Today's Date

Until Lay On!

Timeline

A timeline of events in the world of Wyvern Rising.

Dates are given using the term AoC, which stands for Age of Council; denoting the year the Peace Council was formed. All civilized peoples of Merdensa recognize the use of AoC to date events. The Dwarves however, continue to ceremoniously name the year after the winner of their Dwarven Games. Before the Peace Council, the year varied between countries. For instance, Alessandria reckoned the year from the coronation of Alessander. This was known as 1 Alessander at the time, or -337 AoC. Many True Elves remember the days before the Peace Council and will sometimes refer to events long ago using the dating system of the Elven Kingdom.
