 ===The Year===
+The Valthungian year begins at ''Ǧul'' (‘Winter Solstice’). The year “0” is considered to start on the solstice following the Gothic sacking of Rome in 410 a.D., so the Valthungian year is offset from the Gregorian calendar by approximately 411 years. (2011 was the year 1600 for the Grey-tongue people.)
