In Iokeihiko society, history is measured by both eras and ages. 'Age' is the longer measurement, the shortest encompassing at least 500,000 years. A new age is heralded by massive global change; the rise of civilization, the extinction of a 'Crede family, the founding of Tamashp and global technological advancement. There have been three ages of Io. The First Age or the Age of Atua Hīkoi, the Second Age or the Age of Intikilla, and the Third Age, or the Age of Enlightenment. Prior to the advent of diverse life on Io, years are often measured with the title OC (other conflicts) or as Celestial Years.
Eras are contained within ages. These measurements are generally more fluid in nature, with some overlapping and some only recognized by certain parties. Within the most recently ended age, Intikilla, there are at least three eras generally agreed to.
