Notes: c.000s-020s, probably somewhere in the Eister Ranges in Emoyra or High Eisterland. Hylia, and her legend. Includes some Old Calendar name lists and the current general Emoyran month names. (Hylia was mentioned very obliquely in the piece where Viyony tells Leion that most cities still have Birdmasters with Hylian messenger birds.)

Summary: The legend of Hylia and the calendar, taken from
The History of Eisterland (written in the 5th C by Seso Bialdis; this version from the 13th C Emoyran translation, pub. 1286.)
