Edit: In short, it is technically 1577, but since the fall of Dalamud has brought about a new era it is the year 5 of the seventh Umbral era. It always rotates from Umbral to Astral, Umbral being some kind of time of hardship and Astral being a sort of calm age.
I'm just confused because if the battle of carteneau happened in 1572 and the people who were fighting were teleported away and return 5 years later wouldn't that make it the year 1577? What am I missing? or was the whole 5 years thing misinformation that I've heard?
Edit: wrote this before you wrote edit... but I'm still confused should I label it as present year 1577 in my bio or year 1572?
