This is when the moon became shattered and the world went through an apocalypse.
The event that shattered the moon and changed Earth to Remnant is called “The Great Calamity”. Earth was Hit So Hard, the Calendar felt it, now using “Season of Year X1, Season of Year X2, etc”. The current time is Fall of Year X984. Excluding Ozpin, Glynda and Salem, no one remembers much about Earth, and instead the time before The Great Calamity is called “The Old World”.
