| 194 | Does the Tahari Desert use the Summer solstice calendar like Turia does?
Answer
Greetings,
As nice as it would be to find a quote which would directly answer your question, it's not that easy. So you will just need to reason on the next best thing.
The first quote I found might lead one to say, yes, the Tahari, being the southern hemisphere, would use the calendar of Turia.
However, in the second quote, Tarl does not elude to this in describing the battle of Red Rock as taking place in year of 10,051 C.A.
In any event, I wish you well,
Fogaban
To be sure, chronologies, and such, can differ from city to city. The Merchants, interestingly, keep their own calendar, for purposes of contracts, delivery dates, letters of credit, and such. Many cities in the northern hemisphere use the chronology of Ar, along with their own. I understand that cities in the southern hemisphere may similarly supplement their own chronologies, but with the calendar of Turia, which, as I understand it, is the largest city in the southern hemisphere.

The battle of Red Rock, for which the oasis is named, took place more than seventy years ago, in 10,051 C.A., or in the sixth year of the reign of Ba'Arub Pasha.
