Dragon Age dates

[biffmclaughlin]

Greetings and a very happy weekend to all! I am trying to figure out how one would write out the date in the DA:O/A universe. Let's say it is the 15th day of Kingsway in the year DA30, around about the time the DA:O Wiki says the archdemon is killed...How would you write that out? 

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Biff

According to this page on the Dragon Age Wiki, it would be written as follows:

The 15th of Kingsway, 9:30 Dragon.

That's what I'm having trouble understanding...is that the 9th month of the 30th year?

No, it's the 30th year of the 9th Age, the Dragon Age.

OH, she says smacking herself in the forehead. Every now and then my husband will say I should ask with my eyes, not my mouth, LOL. However, I'm not so sure I would have clued in to that little detail, so thanks! Task complete, on to the next. Cheers!

No, it's the 30th year of the 9th age. Which should be implied by the fact that it's known that "Dragon" is the 9th age, but it's written that way anyway.

A shorter version would also be 15 Kingsway, 9:30 Dragon.

Yes, I would imagine this would be the shorthand used for correspondence and journals, among other documents.

I'm glad you asked, I couldn't figure it out either. And reading stories that used dates were always rather confusing to me.
