994 + 1,000 = 1994.
Additionally, a flashback that makes up a huge portion of season 1 episode 1 “Awakening” and season 1 episode 2 “Awakening: Part Two” is labeled with a title card during the first episode as “SCOTLAND, 994 A.D.” Countless details confirm this to be Europe during the Middle Ages, and later episodes also specify 994 AD.
The flashbacks in season 1 episode 11 “Long Way to Morning” are clearly labeled with a title card for being in "SCOTLAND, 984 A.D." at the very start of the episode so we can safely place them in 984 AD.
The flashback at the beginning of season 1 episode 13 “Reawakening” is labeled with a title card as “SCOTLAND, 994 A.D.” and contextually seems to take place amid the massive 994 AD flashback in season 1 episodes 1 and 2.
