Founding of Silford
The Founding of Silford was a major cultural event for the people who would be known as the Farens. This happened as the conclusion of the Giant Wars, and marked the ending of the rule of the Giants, and the spread of the city-living Highlander culture to the heartland of Farensal.
The earliest record of the date stem from 200AFS, when known monuments celebrating the 200th anniversary of the event were constructed. No contemporary evidence from the founding has survived, because the writing was only invented in Silford later.
The Silford Count is especially used by the historians to correlate event happening in different city states, and using different timekeeping systems. Silford count is also used officially in Silford. The system is opposed by many scholars in the traditional enemy cities of Silford, and various more neutral counting systems have been proposed, but they haven't been able to replace it.
