That's the turning of the red sands of time and refers to the length of the Storm Age plus the Great Darkness.

Personally I think the Brithini date their calendar to the creation of the world.

The Rokari could date it from the appearance of the Abiding Book.

The Loskalmi could date it from the first appearance of Joy (which is 1 ST) or from Hrestol's birth year (ie add a couple of centuries onto the date).
