New Britannian Calendar

2015-08-09T21:43:03Z

184.59.235.121:

The New Britannia Calendar dates restarted with “[[Cataclysm|The Fall]]” (the lunar calamity that destroyed much of the [[ultima:Home Page|Old World]]). {{SotA}} begins 400 years after “The Fall,” also known as “Post Cataclysm” or “PC”.

The time and date in New Britannia is tied in a direct ratio to real Earth time. January 1st 2013 on Earth was January 1st of the NB year 400. Each Earth Hour is equal to one New Britannia Day. There are 28 days in each new Britannia Month (meaning each month is a little more than an Earth day). A full New Britannia Year of 336 days passes in 2 Earth weeks. A full year on Earth is about 26 New Britannia Years. This allows us to easily calculate dates in New Britannia.

The month and day names closely resemble their Earth counterparts, but are slightly different in pronunciation:

New Britannian Calendar

2015-06-12T01:12:54Z

184.59.235.121:

The New Britannia Calendar dates restarted with “[[Cataclysm|The Fall]]” (the lunar calamity that destroyed much of the [[ultima:Home Page|Old World]]). {{SotA}} begins 400 years after “The Fall,” also known as “Post Cataclysm” or “PC”.

The time and date in New Britannia is tied in a direct ratio to real Earth time. January 1st 2013 on Earth was January 1st of the NB year 400. Each Earth Hour is equal to one New Britannia Day. There are 28 days in each new Britannia Month (meaning each month is a little more than an Earth day). A full New Britannia Year of 336 days passes in 2 Earth weeks. A full year on Earth is about 26 New Britannia Years.

This allows us to easily calculate dates in New Britannia.

==Trivia==
* In the [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=50443 Release 17 Postmortem]<ref>[[Hangout of the Avatar]] ~ [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=50443 Release 17 Postmortem], May 14, 2015</ref>, it was stated that New Britannian time counts from midnight on Jan 1, 2013, and each Earth hour is one New Britannia day.
* The calendar was first implemented in [[Release 18]].
* New Britannia shares the same 28-day month, 336-day year calendar as the [[Ultima:Britannian Calendar|Ultima series]].
* On the date of the [[Cataclysm]] (September 2, 1997) there was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_September_2,_1997 solar eclipse]. This was a full eclipse in the UK, but only a partial eclipse in the USA.
* September 1997 was also the end of the beta for (and subsequent launch of) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Online Ultima Online]. The beta ended with a bang, as players were treated to an "end of the world" scenario with Shadowlords, demons, and other evil creatures slaughtering every character in sight.
