The Convention

Gathering / Conference

A convention between many international powers where they agreed on how to count the years from thenceforth. Considered the "official" end of the Darkness even though the Darkness really ended many years earlier to allow the convention to happen. Some countries weren't present for the convention and are stubbornly keeping to their own calendars, but if you want to do business you have to use the Convention one.

The Convention occurred on the first day of a Dawn year, thereby making it so that every odd numbered year is a Dawn year, and every even numbered year is a Dusk year.
