The long calendar
The timeline gives Amianism deep time without claiming real-world antiquity. It is a fictional calendar that supports story, design, festivals, sects, and page structure.
Each era clarifies one part of the tradition: hearing, building, preserving, dividing, correcting, mapping, making, serving, and annotating.
