This has come up on the Crystalline forums before. The only reason I was still calling it 1577 is because I thought that the devs themselves had, but today I could not find the post that I thought I had seen it in! Instead, I found this after some searching from Fernehawles (trimmed the post down for relevance):Â
So all this implies that the 7th Umbral Era is indeed over and we're in year 1 of the 7th Astral Era.
Edit: And derped because that's the quote that Mtoto used up yonder. Oh well. xD Must.. read.. entire post.. before running off to search.. xD
Quote:Okay, let me do a quick pass over your questions while I take a breather from all this Beta madness...
Are Umbrals Eras short? Or does it depend on the destruction?
It depends on the destruction. The Umbral Eras are the periods of chaos and regrouping that follow the cataclysms that end each Astral Era. The regrouping can take several years, to several decades. More on this, and what happened during the 7th Umbral Era, will be laid out in detail in the 2.0 storyline.
Does time reset for each Era, ie when Umbral Eras happen, does it become Year 0?
Yes. Timers for each era (both Astral and Umbral) reset (but at year 1, not 0).
So all this implies that the 7th Umbral Era is indeed over and we're in year 1 of the 7th Astral Era.
