Absalom Reconciliation
The Absalom Reconciliation✝ was a meeting of trade guild representatives from all of Golarion's continents, save for Sarusan, that took place in Absalom in 1500 AR. The Reconciliation's goal was the synchronization of standard calendars that could better facilitate intercontinental trade, and thus avoid incidents such as the Five Wealdays War.1
The guilds agreed to synchronize the months and days of these calendars in exchange for favorable trade agreements between them. The Reconciliation resulted in each continent recognizing a standard calendar for trade purposes:2
Continent | Calendar | Beginning date | |
---|---|---|---|
Casmaron | Casmaron Unified Calendar | CU | The date of the Padishah Empire of Kelesh's unification |
Tian Xia | Imperial Calendar | IC | The date of the founding of Yixing |
Garund | Jatembe's Light | JL | The supposed birthdate of Old-Mage Jatembe |
Arcadia | Long Night Calendars | LN | Earthfall, known locally as the Long Night |
Crown of the World | Steps of Time | ST | The Age of Serpents, by way of tracking game migration and High Ice conditions |
Avistan | Absalom Reckoning | AR | The date of the raising of Absalom |
