Location-Specific Context: When discussing an event or historical date, different regions or empires might use regional references in their date notation to indicate where the event is relevant. This can help distinguish between cultural or political records, especially when multiple empires or kingdoms are involved.
Example:
• Umbornday, 15th of Glymhorn, 2043 AU, in Valoria — This date implies the event took place in Valoria, adhering to the Umbraxion Era dating system.

This method allows for regional adaptability in the calendar system, where the location can be specified if needed to clarify political or historical context, especially for events of historical significance or when different regions follow different era designations.
