Calendar Conversions
One notable feature of the timeline that the expert Faerûnian historian will noticeis that the dates in this work are expressed in the current Dalereckoning (DR) notation.Different cultures in the Realms have used different calendars, and reconciling them hasoften caused sages much difficulty. See the following notes to convert DR dates to someother calendar.
Dalereckoning (DR):
This human-centric calendar has become the standard way of expressing dates across Faerûn for most historians and scholars who wish to use anumbered system of dates instead of the far more ancient—and less convenient—Roll of Years. Dalereckoning was established in the Year of Sunrise (1 DR) when the men of Chondath were first permitted by the eladrin and elves of the Elven Court to settle in themore open regions of Cormanthor. It is also sometimes called Freeman’s Reckoning inolder sources.
Cormyr Reckoning (CR):
This calendar starts at the founding of the Kingdom of Cormyr by the Obarskyr Dynasty (26 DR). The use of two close but not identicalcalendars between Dalereckoning and Cormyr Reckoning in the same geographic area of Faerûn’s Heartlands causes historians and sages much confusion. To convert betweendates you might find in other sources: DR – 25 = CR or CR + 25 = DR. The current year is 1454 CR.
orthreckoning (R):
The calendar used throughout the city of Waterdeep, the Silver Marches, and the North. DR – 1032 = NR or NR + 1032 = DR. The current year is 447 NR.
Waterdeep Year (WY):
Archaic Waterdhavian calendar based on the year of the City of Splendor’s founding, no longer used.

etheril Year (Y):
Calendar used by the lost Empire of Netheril and still in use by theShadovar of Shade Enclave, stemming from the formation of the Alliance of Seventon.DR + 3859 = NY or NY – 3859 = DR. The current year is 5338 NY.
Shou Calendar:
The people of the vast Empire of Shou Lung mark the ascendancy of  Nung Fu as the start of their empire’s calendar. DR + 1250 = Shou Year or Shou Year – 1250 = DR. The current date is Shou Year 2729.
Wa Calendar:
Calendar used by the island Empire of Wa in the Eastern Realms of Kara-Tur. DR + 418 = Wa Year or Wa Year – 418 = DR. The current date is Wa Year 1897.
Mulhorand Calendar (MC):
Ancient calendar dating from the founding of theMulhorandi capital city of Skuld by the former Mulan slaves fleeing the destruction of the Empire of Imaskar. This calendar is at present only used by the deva and the fewsurviving descendants of Mulhorandi refugees. DR + 2134 = MC or MC – 2134 = DR.The current year is 3613 MC.
Untheric Calendar (UC):
Established after the ascendancy of Gilgeam as the god-kingof Unther. DR + 735 = UC or UC – 735 = DR. The current year is 2214 UC.
Aryselmalyr Calendar:
Archaic calendar used by the undersea elves of Aryselmalyr atthe empire’s founding. DR + 11004 = AC or AC – 11004 = DR. The current year under this calendar is 12483 AC.
Timesong Calendar (TS):
Calendar established at Myth Nantar and used today by mostundersea inhabitants of Serôs (the Sea of Fallen Stars). DR + 70 = TS or TS – 70 = TS.The current year for the sea elves of Serôs is 1549 TS.
Present Reckoning (PR):
A newer calendar that dates the Time of Troubles and theGodswar that occurred in the Year of Shadows as Year 0. DR – 1358 = PR or PR + 1358= DR. The current date in this seldom-used system is 121 PR.
