Calendar
Last updated 2026-05-24
Calendars are systems of organizing time in Honkai: Star Rail. Due to numerous cosmic factors like time dilation,[1] the isolation of locations like Amphoreus,[2] and the vastness of the setting the story takes place in, there have been numerous calendars used to organize time.
Calendars
The Astral Express uses the Trailblaze Calendar, said to originate from the home planet of Akivili, the Aeon of Trailblaze. This calendar system divides each year into twelve months of varying lengths. It is still used on many planets that Akivili once passed during THEIR travels. No dates are currently recorded in the Trailblaze Calendar.[3]
The calendar commonly used in the cosmos, created and promoted by the Interastral Peace Corporation, is the Amber Era (AE). It starts at the estimated birth of Qlipoth, known as the Aeon of Preservation, and initiates a new Era every time Qlipoth swings THEIR hammer during construction. Since Qlipoth swings THEIR hammer at unpredictable intervals, the duration of each Amber Era varies significantly, ranging anywhere from 76 to 240 Trailblaze Years when converted.[4] It is currently 2158 AE.[5]
Jarilo-VI primarily uses the After-Fortification Calendar, established by Supreme Guardian Alexandra Rand,[6] labeling or numbering years with Before-Fortification (BF) and After-Fortification (AF). The year of the Eternal Freeze and the completion of Belobog are referred to as the Fortification. This calendar uses 12 standardized months, similar to the Trailblaze Calendar. It is currently 700 AF.[7]
The Xianzhou Alliance primarily uses the Star Calendar (SC) to keep time, which is similar to the Trailblaze Calendar in that it divides the year into 12 standardized months.[8] However, readable material that states the month and day rarely notes the Star Calendar Year, and vice versa. The day of departure is deemed the beginning of the Star Calendar. It is currently 8100 SC.[9]
Amphoreus used the Light Calendar, corresponding to one of the 12 Titans of Amphoreus. It is similar to the Trailblaze Calendar in organization.[10]
Planarcadia primarily uses the Arcadian Calendar, starting from the Canvas Age. This was used because time in the World in Canvas does not coincide with the outside world. It is currently the year 1999 in the Arcadian Calendar.[11]
