The years are counted from the founding of the kingdom of Galifar by Galifar ir'Wynarn I , using the abreviation YK, which stands for "years of the kingdom". [1] [2] [3]

The calendar dividing the year into 12 months of 4 weeks and 28 days was standardized by the dragonmarked houses almost 1000 years ago. The dragonmarked houses developed the calendar based off studies made by the dragons . [1]

The years dating from the founding of Galifar was developed during the reign of Galifar the Dark . [1]
