To better understand the entire story that unfolds in Ernt-nador, the Known World, it is necessary to provide a brief introduction to its Eras and Times, along with an explanation of the terms themselves. To make this definition as clear as possible, we explain that the term "Era" refers to a long span of time, which may or may not contain one or more "Times" within that specific period. "Time" refers to a particular span of time or "Period" within a specific "Era," during which certain events predominated. This prevalence of events within a period is given a name following the word "Time," such as: Time of the Peoples, Time of the Kings, etc. In the beginning, shortly after the period known as Before the First Era, time began to be recorded in Cycles of winter and summer. This started during the First Era of Anahkólion, specifically after the appearance of Yondar, the First Hísthalar or First Wizard. From then on, Eras and Times were measured in Cycles, which were often irregular. The Cycles in Anahkólion, which marked the passage of time, were made up of the sum of one winter and one summer, which amounted to approximately 576 days or 19 months, though they could vary by several days more or less. Aside from the lack of a precise count, autumn and spring were excluded because they were not well defined or recognized by the First Men. However, this information was neither known nor of interest to most lineages, let alone the general population. This approximate calculation of 19 months was made much later by Yondar, the First Wizard. To illustrate further, it is worth noting that the way time was counted in Anahkólion was quite different from how it was done in Ernt-nador. In Anahkólion, a Cycle lasted about 19 months, with roughly two-thirds of that time being winter, whereas in Ernt-nador, the count was 14 months and some days, evenly split between winter and summer. In Ernt-nador, Yondar studied the lunar cycles and created the Ernt-nador Calendar during the Time of the Goddesses, in the Second Era of Ernt-nador, Ninth Era of the Ancient Worlds, spanning from Anahkólion to Ernthys.
