The Dwaerkar calendar has been set at the year zero when the Dwaerkar first landed in Borost (Year 0). For years after this event, a progressive count is maintained. The proper format for the year, say, three-hundred after landing, is +300, pronounced "the year plus three-hundred." Years prior to this event are, likewise, displayed with a '-' sign, written as, for example, -10, pronounced "the year minus ten."
