The Sixth Age, which is the present age, began more than three thousand years ago with the mysterious Minor Cataclysm.
It has been called the Age of Standards. During this period, seafaring travelers and traders, along with travelers aided by magical means, began to foster the Common Calendar, a standardized solar/lunar calendar system that drew from the elven religion for the names of the days in the week and the human Almagest faith for the names of the months. A common language among humans in particular emerged known as the Common Tongue, or simply Common, though regional accents and slang persist. And though kingdoms and empires had their own coins, standardized weights and metallurgy were developed for gold, silver, and copper coins.
It is currently the year 3121 in the Sixth Age, which is in the Seventh Epoch in the Third Era of Adnati.
