The Imperial Calendar, sometimes called the Sigmarite Calendar, seems to be the most popular and important calendar of the Old World.

The "zero event" was the crowning of Sigmar as first emperor of The Empire. All dates are invariably followed by a IC (short for Imperial Calendar).

Dates of events which happened before the "zero event" display a minus sign - in front.

Examples:

  • 2000 IC used for an event which happened 2000 years after the crowing of Sigmar.
  • - 2000 IC used for an event which happened 2000 years before the crowing of Sigmar.

The Imperial Calendar is used by The Empire and by the Wasteland, a former imperial possesion. Other civilized nations have their own calendars, but seem to know of the Imperial Calendar. It is likely that this knowledge came through commercial exchanges with the Wasteland.
