==Behind the Scenes==
It is unclear exactly when the New Byzantine Calender was in use - whether it was just a different version of writing dates (so, the [[61st century]]) or an entirely new dating system. A [[New Roman Empire]] was mentioned to exist in the year [[12,005]] in ''[[The End of the World]]'', but other than the name (the Byzantine Empire was the name given to the Eastern Roman Empire in the real world) there is little to connect them. Another possible origin might be the city of [[New Byzantium]] mentioned in [[Shadowmind]].
