Absalom Reconciliation

From PathfinderWiki

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
