Arda's calendar is the same as that of Earth's, and time passes in the same way. The current time period doesn't fit perfectly into a specific Earth era. It could best be described as a mixture of biblical times and the early medieval era. It is in the same type of era as that of Lord of The Rings.[doHTML]<table border=1 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 align="center" bordercolor="#7B68EE">
