BFA and AFA

The terms BFA and AFA are used across Gaia to denote time in years. They stand for "Before the Fall of Aréa" and "After the Fall of Aréa," referencing the destruction of the Aréan Empire, a relatively short-lived but influential civilization in Baelor's history. Prior to the destruction of the Empire, the signing of the Treaty of Izlandar was used as a time marker - however, most scholars have since adopted this current method.
