===Dating Conventions===

The history of Gavilan is split into four sections. BJ stands for Before Jereth and refers to the time before Jereth I was coroneted King of Gavilan. AJ stands for After Jereth and refers to the time when all of Erethol, Tomanda and Keren were one nation with Erestin as the capital city. DA stands for Dark Ages and refers to the time after the Breaking of the Crown when a huge amount of Erethol, Tomanda and Keren was plunged into civil war. From this point the three kingdoms use different dating systems. Erethol uses SR, standing for Since Reunification and refers to the period after the Treaty of Highwood when the lords of the different cities of Erethol formed an alliance and became a Republic. Tomanda uses AE, standing for After Epiphany and refers to the date on which the prophet Toman united the people in worship of St. Cuthbert. Keren elected a new king and their dating system works by referring to the year of a particular monarch's reign. For example Seddaer 25 would be referring to the 25th year of King Seddaer's reign. No ruler of Keren may have the same name as one who has gone before.
