The Impact is a phrase used to refer to a large meteor strike which changed the planet of [[Saylua]]. The Impact was an extremely significant event on Saylua, which introduced [[magic]] and caused the planet to become tidally locked. The Impact is generally considered to mark the start of a new significant era in Sayluan history, so it gained usage as an epoch. Thus, years on Saylua are denoted relative to how far they occurred after the Impact or [[ATI]].
