The Free Years, often abbreviated as FY for historical purposes, was also known as the Gazaran Calendar. It was the calendar system succeeding that of the After Breaking years. The Free Years were proposed by Tiam Gazar, following the Trolloc Wars as a result of humankind's freedom from the Trolloc threat. A new system had been in need at the time, as the exact year after the Breaking was under question.
During the rise of Artur Hawkwing, the Gazaran Calendar was replaced with Hawkwing's new system, the years From the Founding.
