VITAL INFORMATION
-The dating system is based on the vanquish of the last Galaenys queen. Thus all dates are "B.V." for "Before Vanquish" or "A.V." for "After Vanquish". REMEMBER: This dating system is similar to how our B.C. and A.D. dating works, meaning that the dates during B.V. work backward. Ex. Three years after 763 B.V. is 760 B.V. The farther you go back in time, the higher the number goes. This is why the prologue is dated at Year Zero, the year between B.V. and A.V. If you don't understand, look up a B.C./A.D. timeline. This is important, as the story jumps between different perspectives and dates, and if you don't pay attention to the date on the section, you will be confused when something is taking place.
