First Cycle

1/1 AI - This date is generally considered the start of the new calendar, the time of 1-400/0 AI being considered a transitional period. This is also the start of the new “Spring Years” and the first Cycle (noted as the /1). Many small villages spring up based on survivors who dwelt in caves. Small conflicts breakout as few want to bow to each other.

250/1 AI - Start of the first Castoran summer years. Many communities forced to join together due to sudden depletion of spring’s bountiful resources. Ones that grow too large, however, are swiftly crushed by the Fey Courts. War becomes extremely fierce in Achaemen as the demons, still fighting since the previous cycle, notice their resources begin to dwindle again.

500/1 AI - Start of the first Castoran fall years. Armelan priests try to get people to stock up for the inevitable winter, but eventually civil wars come out to spite them.

750/1 AI - Start of winter years. Thanks to the civil wars the various kingdoms were not well prepared, but were at least more so than last time.

1000/1 AI - Last year of first Cycle.
