Timeline of Athas - KA001.01 is not FY-14,630

IF:

One World's Age/King's Age equals 77 years.

189 full WA/KAs have passed prior to the current KA, KA 190.

We are 26 years (as of FY 1) into this King's Age, KA 190.


Mathematically:

189x77=14553

14553+26=14579

14579-1=14578 (-1 due to positive FY1)
or
14579-2=14577 (-2 due to positive FY1 and counting a FY0)

THEN:

The 1st World's Age in the year of Ral's Fury is either FY -14578 or FY -14577.

In other words, the Timeline's KA/FY correlations are incorrect.

Has anyone else noticed this besides me?

FY 0 does not appear to be counted, so it'd likely be the first calculation.

I decided to create a list of all the King's Age's Year of Ral's Fury and their Free Year equivalent. The Free Years include a Free Year 0, so if you don't want a Free Year 0 you will have to add a -1 to each negative Free Year (ex. FY -14577 becomes FY -14578). I see pros and cons to having a FY 0 vs not having it but since I like easy math I'm going with FY 0.

Not sure if I'm alone in feeling that having a FY 0 just seems odd (maybe only because we do not count a year 0 in our own BC/AD conception of time). I do, however, believe we need to come to a consensus on this, so that all timeline material can be corrected under the same guideline (I am aware of at least two upcoming releases with timelines that build off the present [incorrect] one, and will thus need to be corrected as well).

So, to all others...
Should the year preceding FY 1 be
FY 0
or
FY -1
?????

The current Gregorian calendar isn't the only calendar humans have used. But to cut to the chase, no calendar (to the best of my knowledge) has ever had a year "0", they all start with The First Year of [fill in the blank]. So the Free Year Calendar should go something like "FY -2, FY -1, FY 1, FY 2, etc..."

In my opinion we should use a 0 to make the math easier. If you think about it, no one on Athas is going to use a negative number anyways. Sadira isn't going to say she met Rikus in FY -7, she'll say she met him in the Year of Guthay's Agitation. She probably wouldn't even say what King's Age she met him. When you use a calendar to date years prior to its beginning, it becomes proleptic. We as "real people" will use this Proleptic Calendar of Tyr to gauge time for our convenience, not for an athasian's convenience. That is why I am for a FY 0.
