I believed I mentioned this at some point before, but should we assume that the years referred to in ''Shadow of Intent'' are Earth years? Wouldn't it be more likely that it is Sanghelios years? We could always wait until the Waypoint article on Tul that Grim confirmed and hope that it gives us a birthdate. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 16:06, 7 January 2016 (EST)

:I don't know. The Old Covenant's timekeeping consisted of an elaborate system of Cycles and Units and Steps that we never got an explanation for. If they weren't using human time (if only for out-of-universe convenience) I would have expected them to have stuck to that. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 17:27, 7 January 2016 (EST)
::I would expect the Sangheili to refuse to use the Covenant calendar based on High Charity and move back to their Sanghelios' calendar. ''Hunters in the Dark'' and ''Broken Circle'' shows that the Sangheili still use cycles in their calendar but we don't know what it's based off of. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 18:58, 7 January 2016 (EST)
:::I was under the assumption it more or less the same as the Earth calendar, just tailored to Sanghelios' day and year cycles. Hence "in her second decade" would be more akin to Earth 30s.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 20:02, 7 January 2016 (EST)
::::Yeah, I think it is similar to the Earth calendar, just with cycles instead of years, etc. While I think (and hope) that Staten meant Sanghelios years when referring to years, Earth years might have been used instead for reader simplicity. Again, our best chance of determining the answer is either from a direct answer from Grim or seeing if we get Tul's birth year on Waypoint. We can figure out Vul's approximate age once we get the answer. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 20:24, 7 January 2016 (EST)
:::::I'm still under the impression Staten meant Sanghelios years, as wasn't it brought up in Rtas' thoughts?[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 20:34, 7 January 2016 (EST)
::::::I don't remember it being brought up, but I'll keep an eye open since I'm currently creating articles for several of the novella's characters. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 20:53, 7 January 2016 (EST)
