Talk:0 DR

Year 0
I hope this doesn't make me look to stupid but... why is this the year 0? What major even happened that turned this in to a year calendar? Terrorblades - This is recorded live at  12:03, July 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * If I'm not mistaken, this is the year when either the Dales Compact was signed or the Standing Stone was erected (or both), granting control of the non-forested Dalelands to the humans. I think this can be confirmed with The Dalelands. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 12:24, July 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Blades, it is when Mystra told Azuth she will place some of her power in mortals... I mean, that should be exciting enough... thrills and chills! Darkwynters 15:28, July 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Cronje: Hmm ok... so the start of the year count was a event in Dalelands? Erm... seams a bit small? wait... is that the "Dale Reckoning" event in the "Roll of years"?
 * Wynters, oh the intrigue! adventures and wonders! Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  09:12, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * The event that started Dalereckoning was the erecting of the Standing Stone on Year 1 DR. Year 0 is simply the year prior as calculated by a civilization cognizant of the existence of the number "0". Interestingly enough, the fact that the Roll of Years starts on -700 DR and ends in 1600 DR (both nice, round numbers) demonstrates the need for Year 0 DR quite eloquently.Sings-With-Spirits (talk) 17:50, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

I like how the existence of a Year 0 allows me to categorise 0 in the 1st century, 100 in the 2nd century, and so on, and the turn of a century/millennium occurs at the end of a '99 year. It's so much neater this way. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 10:25, October 21, 2013 (UTC)
