THE ASHEN CALENDAR

Issued by High Keeper Ellenore av Eiriksdóttir, on the 5th of EDVARDSAWND, IAÁ 491, AGE OF STIFLED FLAME

 

 

By order of the High Keeper, envisioned & ordained by the righteous servant of the ALL-FATHER

 

PREAMBLE

In the pursuit of illuminating the hearts of the devout & those yet still unignited, perpetuating the sanctity of our Realm in the verities of Thoromir, the Herald & the Father, it is hereby decreed that the Ashen Calendar shall be henceforth recognized as the appointed temporal measure for the Holy Kingdom of Norland. This divine chronology, bestowed upon us by providence, shall govern all reckonings, whether they be manifest in Public Missives, Scrolls of Trade, Documents of the King’s Council, or Orders emanating from the august High Hearth.

 

 

THE DATING SYSTEM

 

Verily, the Ashen Calendar is a centurial system, wherein the passage of time is measured by the various ages,

known as the ‘Age of -’. These epochs, named by the reigning High Keeper, are divinely interpreted in communion with the Will of the Father. 

 

The commencement of this calendar begins with ‘The Descent’, year 0; for what transpired was the Descension

of the All-Father - the moment when Thoromir, the Herald & his people, the Narvaukiaans, were graced and saved by the divine eminence of the Red-Lord Himself. The moment when Thoromir Armahnk Ruricsson received his divine mandate & was entrusted with seeing out the Father’s Will. The time before The Descent is considered a period of uncertainty, faithlessness, and chaos. Thus, any time before the Descension ascends numerically, in reverse, is known as the ‘Age of Myth’.

 

The following are the Ages as recorded by the High Hearth:

 

The Descent - The Descension of the All-Father

0

First Age - Age of Heraldry

1 - 99

Second Age - Age of The High-rock

100- 199

Third Age - Age of Strife

200 - 299

Fourth Age - Age of Ashes

300 - 399

Fifth Age - Age of Stifled Flame 

400 - 499

Sixth Age -

500 - 599

 

The following are the Months as recorded by the High Hearth:

 

I. Thoromirsangr - Thoromir's Plight (Wednesday)

II. Inn Ríkismánaðr - The Father's Month (Thursday)

III. Eiriksstanda - Eirik's Defiance (Friday)

IV. Svensmánaðr - Sven's Month (Saturday)

V. Edvardsawnd - Edvard's Ire (Sunday)

VI. Sólsmánaðr - Sun's Month (Monday)

VII. Donovansharðhugaðr - Donovan's Stand (Tuesday)

 

AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER,

Ordained by the High Hearth before His most Sacred Flame, Ellenore av Eiriksdóttir, High Keeper of the Sacred Flame, Master of the Order of the First Flame, Righteous Servant of the Red-Lord
