Roulean Calendar (RC)
0 RC	Roulea marks the beginning of its calendar with the founding of the capital by offspring of the gods.
787 RC	Beginning of the reign of Pwyll II in Aluvia.
804 RC	Year of the Comet. The dust-light of the Comet of 804 glowers over the land of Aluvia - the harbinger of the Grand Armada of Viamont. Viamont Invades Aluvia. 4th of Solclaim - Defending army of Aluvia is defeated at the Plain of Ayrifal. High King Pwyll II is slain, marking the end of his reign in Aluvia. All the sons and male cousins of the High King are slain in battle at his side. Beginning of the reign of Alfric, Overlord of Viamont, in Aluvia. Immediately after his victory, Alfric rounds up and executes all that remain of Pwyll II's bloodline, fearing a descendant who could unite the Aluvians and challenge his own offspring for the throne. This is done in secret, and neither Theolaud nor Alfrega would later have knowledge of this.
810 RC	The traditional highland fortress of the Aluvian Kings, Thrushhaven, is deemed too old and remote for Alfric's purposes, so he establishes a castle in Celdon. On an island on the Canfeld River in the center of Celdon, the island marketplace is razed, and construction begins on a magnificent, airy white marble palace in the Viamontian style, known simply as the Tower of Alfric.
824 RC	End of the reign of Alfric, Overlord of Viamont, in Aluvia. Beginning of the reign of King Theolaud, son of Viamont Royal Governor Alfric, in Aluvia.
854 RC	End of the reign of Theolaud in Aluvia. The details of his death are unclear. Some claim assassination, others claim he died in a "king's Duel" against King Elous VIII of Viamont. The death of Theolaud marks the beginning of the reign of his daughter, Alfrega the Mad in Aluvia.
	Alfrega marries Kirne, a royal son of Milantos. Alfrega maintains sole control over Aluvia.
	Alfrega blames the Aluvian peasantry for the death of her father.
	The publication of Sanxeth of Celdon's voluminous work of philosophy, The Common-Wealth, also increases Alfrega's suspicions. This hefty tome repudiates the notion of monarchy, and calls for the peasantry to unite in communities run by group consensus. Sanxeth's anarchic principles are vigorously opposed in all civilized lands.
	Each week, suspected spies are publicly put to death as a warning to all who would oppose Alfrega. Alfrega spends a great deal of time trying to wipe out the remnants of the Orts, fearing that some legitimate descendant of Pwyll II might be hidden among them. Alfrega enlarges her household army to an unprecedented size. Mercenaries flock to Aluvia from as far as the peaks of distant Silvera, and become the scourge of the peasantry. Homes are burnt, land was salted, and dozens are executed in hideous fashion.
860 RC	The open rebellion of the Orts begins.
868 RC	End of the reign of Alfrega the Mad in Aluvia. Beginning of the reign of Osric the Wise in Aluvia.
899 RC	End of the reign of Osric the Wise in Aluvia. Beginning of the reign of Pwyll III in Aluvia.
924 RC	End of the reign of Pwyll III in Aluvia. Beginning of the reign of Cellric II in Aluvia.
1261 RC -15 PY	Portals to Dereth begin to appear on Ispar.
1276 RC 0 PY	On the far away planet of Auberean, the Olthoi Queen of Dereth is defeated.
1286 RC 10 PY	After a long lull in Isparian arrivals, a great surge of new Aluvian, Gharu'ndim, and Sho adventurers are called from Ispar to Dereth by mysterious portals in their homelands.
1311 RC	Beginning of the reign of Cedraic III in Aluvia. [Editor's Note: If the date given is correct, this event has not occurred yet, and will not occur until PY 35 (2024 Earth). It is more likely that, since the years of the Aluvian rulers were written in Beta and the Ages of the Empyreans (from which we derive the PY to RC conversion) were created post-release, that the date is incorrect.]
