This is less a calender with months and seasons and simply a Suggestion for how Remnant counts it's years and keeps track of time.

I'm submitting that Remnant, now in a new age of global communication and cooperation with the Huntsman Schools acting like defacto governments after the Great War, use the timestamp AGW. This stands for After Great War. Current Colors time is at 80AGW, that is, 80 years after the end of the Great War. BGW is Before Great War, acting like a BC of our earthly calender, numbers raising higher the further back you go in time.

This would mean that Huntsman and the culture around Huntsman and Huntresses traveling around to slay monsters is only, at most, 80 years old. There would be people alive, elderly of course, who had witnessed the Great War and might be able to speak on it and remember a time before Huntsman and Huntresses traveled the land. It would also mean that Remnant is roughly in it's 3rd or 4th generation of Huntsman, meaning character ancestories can't have "Hundred year long family traditions of being a Huntsman." But you can have a family tradition of a few generations.
