DS year

The DS Year (short for destructionof sindor ) is the primary calendar system used across the world of Sirolynia. It begins its count from one of the most significant and devastating days in Sirolynia's history—the Day of the fall , which marked the collapse of the great civilizations of sindor . Currently in the year 934 DS, this calendar serves as a unifying measure of time for most cultures and nations.

Origin and Adoption
The DS calendar began as a regional system in the aftermath of the Day of the Fall. As survivors and their descendants rebuilt their lives and societies, the significance of that event led to its widespread adoption as a starting point for timekeeping.
Day Zero: The Day of the Fall is recognized as the first day of this calendar. It represents the moment of collapse and renewal.
Widespread Adoption: The DS calendar spread gradually, becoming the standard due to the event’s universal impact and the need for a unified timekeeping system, even continants away were effected by the major decrease of trade and comers from the major civilizations.
Cultural Exceptions: While the DS Year is widely used, some regions maintain their own local calendars for religious or cultural purposes.


Historical Context: The Day of the Fall
The Day of the Fall remains a defining moment in Sirolynia's collective memory. It is remembered as the catastrophic collapse of Sindor's civilizations, caused by a combination of mysterious events, wars, and societal disintegration.
Impact on Timekeeping: The enormity of the event made it a logical point of origin for a new calendar, marking the end of one era and the start of another.


Structure of the DS Calendar
The DS Year calendar is simple and universally understandable, making it practical for both commoners and scholars:
Years: Counted sequentially from the Day of the Fall. For example, the current year is 934 DS.
Months and Days: Most regions use a shared division of months and days, though minor variations exist based on cultural preferences.
Standardization Efforts: Over time, global trade and diplomacy led to efforts to standardize the calendar across sirolynia, the main exception is Alganoth who uses RS time
