The Revolution

The Revolution was a critical event in pencil history that happened on the day of the full moon 1/1 ASC, or the 22nd April 2016.

A month before this date, the previous Emperor (Pencil 2FE) had just passed away, and the successor awaited to be coronated on the upcoming full moon, on the 22nd April. However, a succession crisis arose between Pencil 39FE and Pencil 220FE. Pencil 39 emerged victorious, and ordered all pencils to be renumbered, re-organised (with digital profiling), and a new calendar system and government structure to be implemented. These changes were implemented on the day of the coronation, now known as Revolution Day. Pencil 39FE was crowned as Emperor Pencil 1SE.

The Alluvian Calendar system marks revolution day as the first day of the first year. Each full moon since then marks the start of a new year.
