Dating System
Years in Tritania are typically dated in reference to the year of the founding of the Alliance of Twelve Kingdoms. As such, they are typically labelled as: The year in which the Alliance charter was signed was declared to be Year 1 of the Alliance, later written 1 AF, even though that is somewhat inaccurate. The system quickly spread to be used even outside the territories of the Alliance, and has maintained its popularity even though the Alliance itself no longer exists.
 * BF (or B.F.) - Before the Founding
 * AF (or A.F.) - After the Founding

Before the founding of the Alliance, most nations and territories used their own dating systems, and only the most obsessed scholars of the modern era bother to learn them in any detail. Most libraries and archives keep a handy conversion chart to help readers figure out the dates written on documents that predate the founding. The Brotherhood of Makuta attempted to implement a universal dating system based on the Demon Wars, but they it never caught on, at least not before they made their ill-fated attempt at world conquest.
