Timekeeping

Nether Years (NY)

Netherese record are kept dated in Nether Years, which is a measurement of time originating from the initially establishment of the Netherese people.

Dalereckoning (DR)

Approximately two thousand years into the future, Cormanthyr and Dalesfolk historians recorded details about the Netherese under their own year-system of Dalereckoning (DR). A fair amount of lore is recorded in system, so if you wish to translate from DR to NY you simply add 3870 to the DR date.
