Weirdful Mess

The Weirdful Mess was a 700-year long period that formed the official end of the first age of Poorthwart, known as the Earliest Days. It is counted from the first known time that an Anchorite successfully spoke to a non-Anchorite, and it ends on September 19th (in an unknown year, simply called also "Weirdful Mess") on the date of the first all-Anchorite Great Wobbly Circle.

The period is known for being the time in which the Wobbles and the Weirds were discovered and named, and is also the time in which historical records began to be kept in Poorthwart.
