Conventions
The most accepted method of measuring the centuries on TFC is the one used by the Humans. They measure time from the creation of Humankind, or Years of Humanity. Elves use Years from the Formtaking among themselves, but usually adopt the method used by whichever race they are speaking with. Dwarves use Years of Life, a reference to their long-ago creation by Tynian, The Life Giver. Halflings have kept the Dwarven system. Ogres and Aarakocra do not have a formalized system, refering to the number of years ago, for recent events, and giving names to events that they wish to remember. Gnomes also have no system, as the concept of years is one that is new and unimportant to them, living as they do in the unchanging darkness, without seasons or days. Minotaurs and Giant-Kin have taken the conventions of the Humans with which they originated.
Through intermingling of the three main systems some general conventions of notation have evolved. Dates are expressed as a number followed by an abbreviation for the system involved. This is a Y or a YB, for Years or Years Before, respectivly, followed by the letter of the particular system. These letters are H for Humanity, F for Formtaking, and L for Life. Thus, YH refers to the years following the creation of Humans, and YBH refers to the years before.

Conversions
To convert from YH (Years of Humanity) to YF (Years from the Formtaking), add 3018 (e.g. 1312 YH, the year Ofcol was founded, is 5330 YF). To convert in the other direction, subtract 3018. To convert from YH to YL (Years of Life), add 1888 (e.g. 251 YH, the year Thalos was founded, is 2139 YL). To convert from YL to YH, subtract 1888. If, when converting, you get a negative number, remove the sign and adjust from Years to Years Before (e.g -1234 YH becomes 1234 YBH).
