Well, you need to define the months and years of the calendar before you
can get very far. But for conversion purposes, if you're going to go by
the UNIX time_t value, which has time 0 = 1970 Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC,
then you need to know what that time is in Arégan terms.
Is the first day of the first month of the first Arégan year 986 (which
is your birthday minus 1000 years as you said) or -986 (which is
what you wrote, which is your birthday minus 2000 years means 987 BC)?
How many months? How many days in each month?
