Each [[wikipedia:lunar year|lunar year]] is assigned the number of ruling years and the name of the current reigning Emperor or Empress of Doloriane; e.g., if the Empress Valanthe II had occupied the throne for twenty lunar years, the year in Elvish reckoning would be "the Twentieth Year of the Reign of Her Majesty Empress Valanthe II", typically abbreviated "20 Valanthe II" or "20 V.II".
