You'll sometimes see mentions of revolutions: first revolution, second revolution. But these are not political upheavals. Instead, this is a reference to the most commonly used calendar on the Continent: the [[dantrian calendar]].
If you look at the image, you'll see that it has a spiral in the center. This is because the dantrian calendar conceptualizes history as "revolutions" of the spiral. So, revolutions refer to periods of time.
Every revolution is 2000 years. Present date on the Continent is 11th century of the third revolution. So, say, 1603 FR would refer to the middle of the first revolution - which would be 4000 years ago. Whole recorded history of the Continent is 51 centuries.
