I don't know what Randland is(could you please tell me), but as for the
Silver Millenium...
Randland is the unofficial nickname of the world in which the Wheel of
Time series is set. The series itself never tells us what its inhabitants
actually call their world.

1. The time in which Sailor Moon is known as Neo Queen Serenity took
place in the 30th century. This was establish in the series when Sailor
Hai.
Moon and the Soldiers went to Reenie's present. (Watch for the 13 new SM
episodes coming to the U.S. this fall, we here in Canada have already
seen 'em, eh?) So it could be extrapolated that the original Silver
Millenium took place about 1000 AD, our calenders(of course). This is
subtantiated because...
While the Dub says a thousand years, I believe that in the original, it's
supposed to be about 25,000 years ago. Although I may be imagining that.
