Mulhorand Calendar (MC): One of the oldest calendars in use in the Realms, this ancient scheme of record-keeping dates from the founding of Skuld, the City of Shadows, reputedly by a Mulhorandi god.This reckoning is now largely abandoned except in ancient texts. A more archaic system called Waterdeep Years (WY) dates from the supposed first use of Waterdeep as a trading post. Northreckoning (NR): Used in the City of Waterdeep, Northreckoning dates from the year Ahghairon became the first Lord of Waterdeep.This is understandable, given that the two reckonings are from two nearby parties and spread by a third (the merchants of Sembia), but it causes learned sages to slam their heads violently against their desks trying to figure things out. Timelines and calendars of the period often use DR designators, but place the founding of Cormyr at 1 DR instead of 26 DR. The 25-year gap between Cormyr Reckoning and Dalereckoning has caused much of the confusion regarding elder days. Cormyr Reckoning (CR): Cormyr Reckoning begins at the foundation of House Obarskyr, the dynasty that still rules that land.Chris Perkins, Lead Designer of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist (2018), stated that the adventure module takes place in "1492 DR, the Year of Three Ships Sailing". The current campaign date of the Forgotten Realms is 1492 DR, as of the real-world year of 2018. Dalereckoning is the most common year measurement and is used in all of the Forgotten Realms sourcebooks. The calendar is widely used in Faerûn but has not spread beyond its shores. In some texts, primarily those which do not have direct ties to Dales history, Dalereckoning is called Freeman's Reckoning (FR). Since this time, humans were permitted by the Elven Court to settle in the more open regions of the forests. Dalereckoning (DR): Dalereckoning is taken from the Year of Sunrise, when the Standing Stone was raised by the elves of Cormanthor and the human Dalesfolk.The widespread differing year dates include the following: The result is a hodgepodge of overlapping numbers that serve to confuse the ordinary person and frustrate the sage. Each kingdom or city-state numbers years differently, usually to measure the reign of a dynasty or the current monarch, or since the founding of the country. This helps alleviate any confusion from multiple writers using different names for the same year. In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, years (usually described as the passing of winters or summers) are referred to by names, each name is consistent across the Realms.
