Aderician Calendar

The Aderician Calendar is the official calendar of the Kingdom of Gilneas. Put into place twenty-five years after the Independence of Gilneas by the nationalistic King that followed Aderic, the Gilnean calendar serves to mark the customs and life of Gilneas as distinct from Arathor. The calendar began on 1110 LC, or precisely one thousand one hundred years and ten before the orcs were first summoned into Azeroth. This date is that in which the Kingdom of Gilneas was founded and declared Independent of Arathor.

Much like the Lotharian calendar, the Gilneans have adopted their own neologism to avoid counting backwards, which is "UAR", or "Under Arathorian rule." Meanwhile, to count forwards the Neologism "F.A.", or 'Following Aderic' is used, despite the fact that it denotes the actual founding of the Gilnean Kingdom, and not the birth of the legendary King Aderic. Aderic was actually born in year 30 U.A.R.

The Gilnean Calendar is used almost solely in the Kingdom of Gilneas, although certain ethnically GIlnean inhabitants of Northern Silverpine, officially Lordaeron land, are also known to use the Calendar.
