So, timeline-wise, with this "year" being that of the 40th Vytal Festival, then what the World of Remnant said about the Great War between the kingdoms and all that ideological jazz fits. The poster's wrong in calling it "annual", as it was "biannual" according to the WoR. So it was eighty years ago that the kingdoms became peaceful and established the modern style of hunting and et cetera.

Makes sense.
