Curiosity on Eras

This is a question that has been gurgling at the back of my mind for a while so I thought I'd throw it out there. In reviewing the list of seneschals it is broken down by eras. It is a really interesting way to review Talossan history.

So far, the following eras are listed:
King Ben Era (1985-2005)
Abdication Era (2005-2011)
Reunision Era (2012-Present)

Are we in a new era? I'd like to think so. It seems like a good breakpoint for a new era was the ascension of Txec to the throne. As the Reunision era is tied to the honorable work of King John and there is precedent for breaks in the eras based on royal changes.

This is all informal, of course, but are we in a new era of Talossan History? The King Txec Era?

The eras leading up to the declaration of the Republic in 2004 are more significant than the ones after that. The pre-Internet era, for example, was completely different from what followed.

Do you think the 20-year King Ben Era can be split into more specific sub-eras?

There are existing divisions, but I do agree we're probably in a new era with a new king.

I largely wrote and laid out the List of Seneschals page in its present form and the eras on there are more about separating different political systems/power structures than actual history.

The ones on the History page are more accurate, although the 2007 "modern" era arguably ended with Reunision and we could be considered to be in yet another era with the accession of King Txec.
