Calendars

The Yoneian calendar was based on the Selerian calendar, introduced by the Selecontral Yonturil. The zero year, the Year of Turnings, coincided with the Recession of the Seas. The Selerian calendar replaced the old Methurm calendar of the Metesolites, which began with the eruption of Seleturm in 720ESE.

The Perilleans used the Palpurian calendar. It spread widely with the Perillean Empire, and was the predominant way of measuring time in many parts of Antoria in later eras. Its zero year was in the meeting of the League of the Nine Athelions in 12SE. It should be noted that in the Palpurian calendar the new year begins at Halaturmion, whereas in the Yoneian calendar it does not begin until Belation, with a nominal difference of 1/3 of a year in favor of the Perilleans. For the sake of clarity, this difference has been corrected in the texts.

The time was recorded as "Seleriam Eulat" or SE, and the time before the zero year was recorded as "Etem Selerian Eulat" or ESE.

Currencies

Units of...

Perillean Petinx (Sil. Peting - money)

Plater, Septel, Yulion (Plp. Blote, Ceptel, Ceulion)

Platers were minted from bronze, brass, copper, and even lead, which caused their value to vary locally, and they were considered the money of peasants and slaves. Septels (usually called selers by the Yoneians) were silver and yulions were gold; septels were more in daily circulation, yulions less so due to their considerable value. For reference, a recorded exchange value of 1:36:80 was in line with later Yoneian seler currencies.

Yoneian Seler (Silvers)

The Yoneians used silver as the base metal for most coins. The term seler, literally meaning silver, became the term for money in any form, and different denominations were referred to as "bronze selers" or "gold selers. During the Selenthion era, the Merial Mint derived the standard weight of a seler as 5.184 grams, or 72 sers (grains).

The Yalis had a Yali-seler of their own, often just called a Yaler.

Kondar Krammer (Renkeranck Steel)

The Kondars used a steel alloy mined from the Renkeranck Mines. It had two properties: the alloy was very resistant to rust, and it was hardened so hard ordinary tools could not bite it. The Money Rancks carried two files, an ordinary file which was not supposed to bite, and a special file which could scratch a krammer to confirm the authenticity of this money.

Virtually impossible to counterfeit and in limited supply, controlled by the single guild that ran the Renkeranck Mine, they were even valued against gold and considered a stable currency during the Kondarian Iron Empire era. Many coins remained in circulation in later eras due to their durability.

Hellornian Helvar (The Dragonscale  Money)

Definitely one of the more unorthodox types of currency, the dragonscale money of Hellornia consisted of pieces of collected dragonscale. The Hellornian dragons shed partially translucent scales of various sizes and colors that glistened in the sunlight, and these scales were both rare and extremely durable. The Hellornians used them as a measure of value, in addition to making scale armor from them. The money was little known outside Hellornia.
