Year 1000+ Calendar Preview!

Hi folks!

With Year 1000 on the horizon and the Staff Games following after in 1005, I wanted to post with a preview of the event calendar for you to look forward to!

** NOTE: This does not include the specific calendar for the Staff Games which is still being determined. For the sake of clarity and cleanliness, we will post all Staff Games info separately. **

This is an enormous milestone for Achaea and as such we have a great deal planned over the entire 1000-1005 span with a focus on remembrance, memory, and recollection. Some events remain shrouded in mystery but all will eventually become clear…

Before I get into any specifics I want to disclaim that some of the dates are subject to availability and thus might need to change.

We’ll put everything on UPCOMING soon. As always, all times are in GMT!
