The History of the Imperium of Greater Xavax
Imperial Calendar
The Imperial Calendar, also known as Imperial Reckoning or the Selenian Calendar for the Xerarch who ordered it's implementation, is an accounting of time dating to and and from the founding of the Imperium of Greater Xavax. Greater Xavax was a nation at war for most of its early history, and few documents of persons or events exist from that time that were not penned down or accounted for by Xerarch Selenia herself.
The Calendar is broken into year-long periods and punctuated with "ICY" for "Imperial Calendar Year". Given Xavax's frigid origin, some scholars are amused at the acronym.
