Rebellions rising against the Empire, Joseph faking his own death, metal-eating squids, dead terrorists coming back from the grave, the universe's anus shitting out green calamari, and now Vespid takes the next step in fucking political suicide! It's the 986th Year of the Post-Reformation Epoch, and Namine's gone fucking mad!

The Reformation Epoch Calendar is a calendar created and used by the Empire of Namine.

History

The Reformation Epoch Calendar was enacted by the Empire of Namine as its official calendar upon the Empire's birth in 0 PRE. The name does not, as some uninformed outside observers believe, refer to the reformation of the First Empire into the Second; rather, it refers to the reformation of Keilicaela society and culture as a whole. Under the yoke of the Currai Imperium, Keilicaela culture was largely wiped out (markedly with the decline of the Cult of Namine); Keilicaela society became subservient to the Imperium. Thus, Keilicaela culture and society as it once existed was destroyed and would have to be "reformed" to become whole again; Namine, under the rule of the Imperium, existed in a time before this reformation would take place. As such, the years of the Occupation of Namine are called "Before the Reformation Epoch (BRE)."

After the Imperium was cast from Namine, there would be no other intervening species to lord over and control the Keilicaela, leaving them to their own devices on their homeplanet. This era of uninterrupted Keilicaela interaction is called the "Reformation Epoch (RE)" by the calendar, and is the aformentioned "reformation." Through years of war, politics, trading, strife, and other such dealings with one another, Keilicaela society and culture would be reformed under the direct influence of no species but the Keilicaela.

The Reformation Epoch would come to a close 573 years after it started. All following years are referred to as "Post-Reformation Epoch (PRE)." With the end of the reformation came the Empire of Namine. With the Reformation Epoch Calendar being the Empire's official calendar, it is only logical that the Empire would mark the end of the reformation as their beginning; the Empire regards itself as the culmination of the blood shed during the reformation. This new society and culture that was to be formed after the Imperium destroyed the old was the Empire of Namine.

Despite the disbandment of the First Empire, the colonies left behind largely continued to use the Reformation Epoch Calendar, keeping it relevant to post-Corruption Keilicaela societies. By the time the Second Empire came to power, the year was 980 PRE. Seeing no reason to change the calendar or otherwise break tradition (largely due to the Second Empire being comprised of mostly the same core components as the first), the Reformation Epoch Calendar was quickly upheld by the Second Empire and continues to persist to this day.

Timeline

The timeline of the Reformation Epoch Calendar, divided by the Epochs, is as follows:

Before the Reformation Epoch

  • 96000 BRE: The Helminth burrows into Namine and begins feeding on portions of the planet's mantle
  • 94000 BRE: Civilization emerges on Namine's surface
  • 89100 BRE: Extant civilization takes note of the Helminth and devises a strategy to rid it from Namine; the Helminth constructs Keilicaela hordes to defend itself
  • 89000 BRE: After 100 years of strife, the Keilicaela succeed in devouring all civilization on Namine; the Currai Imperium takes notice of the mass extinction and begins a campaign to take control of the Helminth in the Occupation of Namine
  • 88995 BRE: The Imperium's five-year campaign ends with success as the Occupation achieves its goal of turning the Keilicaela into an Imperium bioweapon; the same year, the Enlightened Ones both destroy the Helminth and drive the Imperium away from Namine; eons-long uninterrupted Keilicaela evolution and interaction begins
  • 5000 BRE: The Keilicaela attain sentience
  • Sometime after 5000 BRE: The Cult of Namine emerges, rising to prominence amongst the entire Keilicaela species
  • 4000 BRE: The first Keilcaela city-state, Verikron, emerges
  • 3950 BRE: City-states emerge to compete with Verikron, sparking thousands of years of war as sovereign city-states become the dominant form of civilization on Namine
  • 1240 BRE: The Currai Imperium conquers the Crysek species
  • 1148 BRE: The Enlightened Ones expunge the Imperium from the Crysek homeworld, freeing the species; the Crysek plunge into perpetual war for hundreds of years, eventually organizing into the Crysek Holy Conglomerate
  • 460 BRE: The Cult of Namine loses influence as the last few Keilicaela tribes are consumed by city-states; the Tvi-Keilicaela Sootshrouded sequester themselves into Zarine Ashfield, where they suffer through a barren existence in hiding well into the Post-Reformation Epoch
  • 0 BRE: The city-states of Thyste and Skopida enter into a nonaggression pact with Verikron, forming the Empire of Namine and putting an end to the time before the Reformation Epoch
