Years
The year is 1124, measured from the first year of the rule of King Patham when he established the Pathaman Empire and reset the calendar.
Some kingdoms such as Bertolus count years starting from their first leader after the fall of the Pathaman Empire, though people will compare these alternate year systems against the standard year to translate between systems. These year values are all less than 300.
Months
A month is measured in 3 “tendays.” The first tenday of the month is called the “wax.” The second is called the “full.” And the last is called the “wane.” So someone might explain an event as occurring, “In the wax of Valost, in the year 1010.”
The tenday is used like our “week,” but lasts 10 days instead of 7.
Seasons
There are 3 seasons, each with different lengths.
- Spriess, the growing season, lasts 5 months.
- Grenia, the harvesting season, lasts 2 months.
- Aducere, the winter season, lasts 3 months.
