Dating system

The current date in the Undead Trilogy is 1535 YG. The date corresponds to a system based on the formation of the first human kingdom. The years previous to 1YG (Year of the Gods or Gods' Year) are labeled with BK (Before the Kingdom). This is not the only system used in Oedon, and there is much debate as to which is more correct. Cultural boundaries ensure the existence of differing systems.

Elven System
The Elven System is based on the formation of the first elven kingdom, which predates that of the humans. It is currently 3352 (King's Year in elven characters), and all dates before 1 or 1817 BK are listed as before the kingdom as well, yet again in elven characters.
