Republic Calendar

The Republic Calendar is the calendar most commonly used on the continent of Unsere, particularly within the Völkervier Republic. Its year 0 begins with the Assertion of Autonomy made by the historical city of Vondemburg (now Völkervier), officially separating itself from the mountain dwarves of Eisenholde as its own independent political body. Every year following the Assertion is marked as a "Jahr der Freiheit" (shortened to JDF), or "Year of Freedom" in dwarvish. Each year preceding the Assertion is marked as a "Jahr der Kindheit" (shortened to JDK), or "Year of Childhood." Year 0 is sometimes colloquially referred to as the "Jahr der Aussage", or Year of Assertion, though this is a rare thing to hear.

The current year is 547 JDF.
