Editing Continuity/Timeline of Ispar (section)

== The History of Auberean ==
In early 2003, Turbine released another timeline called [[The History of Auberean]]. We are presented new information:

{|class="wikitable"
|width=90| '''Portal Year'''
|width=90| '''Roulean Year'''
| '''Event'''
|-
| -1441 PY || 324 RC || Jojiism founded.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol3>2003/03 [[The History of Auberean/Volume III: The Fall From Grace (-1,804 to -891)]]</ref>
|-

A quick look at this information reveals the following:
* the dates created by Stormwaltz in the beta regarding Aluvian history have been retconned. Aluvia was no longer invaded in 804 RC, it was invaded in 704 RC, for example.
* Some events have had their dates solidified. Rather than having a rough estimate of some hundreds of years ago, we have exact dates for the founding of Jojiism and when Emperor Kou unites Sho.
* We have a concrete date for the founding of Gharu'n, rather than an extremely rough estimate based on the renaming of Al-Ghul and the events of To Be A Shadow.
<br />
By examining these dates, another thing is immediately clear: Ispar years to Auberean years are '''not''' at a 1:1 ratio, they are at a 2:3 ratio. For every year that passes on Ispar, one and a half years pass on Auberean, and for every year that passes on Auberean, two-thirds of a year passes on Ispar.
<br /><br />
For more information on this topic, see [[Continuity/Roulean Calendar and Portal Years|Roulean Calendar and Portal Years]]. Based on our conclusions from that article, the formulas for converting between PY and RC are:
:RC = (2/3) * PY + 1284
:PY = (3/2) * RC - 1926
<br />
With all that in mind, we once again have to reconstruct the timeline:

<br /><br />
The Malika Qadira bint Balj reigns in Gharu'n. There is always the threat of war, from both Viamont and Milantos, but the desert kingdom is once again a place where the sharpness of a man's mind is far more valuable than that of his sword.<ref name=ZogblasterGharundimIntro />
