The Absolute Count is a system invented in the early Fourth Age by Herbet Patric Galactis as a means of facilitating conversions between the Alliance Calendar and The Lion Calendar. The Absolute Count uses B.G.A. 3800 as a year zero, and counts forward from there. It is somewhat confusing, but helpful to historians. For example, Alliance Year 0 is A.C. 3800. Dates within the A.C. Calendar are difficult to calulate.
Notable Dates
| Absolute Year | Other Date | Signifigance |
| 0 | 3800 B.G.A. | Accepted start of history |
| 3800 | A.Y. 10 | Alliance Year 0 |
| 3840 | A.Y. 140 | Solar and Lunar calendars align |
| 4798 | A.Y. 1998 | End of the Golden Age |
| 4799 | A.Y. 21 | First year of the Second Age |
| 5799 | A.Y. 31 | First year of the Third Age |
| 6799 | A.Y. 41 | First year of the Fourth Age |
| 6874 | A.Y. 475 | Absolute Count created |
| 7798 | A.Y. 51 | First year of the Fifth Age |
| 8798 | A.Y. 61 | First year of the Sixth Age |
| 6709 | A.Y. 6910 | End of the Sixth Age |
| 6710 | A.Y. 6911 | First year of the Age of the Dragon |
| 6760 | A.Y. 6961 | End of the Age of the Dragon/Start of the Long Night |
| 9875 | N.D. 0 | End of the Long Night/Start of the New Day |
| 10375 | N.D. 500 | 500th year of the New Day |
