Calendar The following is the calendar that is used by most of the "civilized" societies on Aernth. It is comprised of 13 lunar months, each 28 days long. Each of these lunar months is further divided into 4 weeks of 7 days each. Each month or "Moon" as they are called by most of the residents of Aernth, is named for some important agricultural or weather phenomenon, and as such will vary from one region to another, however the names given here are the most widely recognized as they come from the "Channel Region" of Aernth (this is the most populous and civilized area on the planet, as well as home to the two greatest libraries in existence). Important holidays, season changes, etc. are shown on the calendar, as are important days relative to the PBEM and In-Person games that I run within this world, as you will see below. I will try to have links set up at the appropriate places to see a running log of what has happened thus far in the games (but it may be a little while before these are set up and operating effectively). If you have any comments or suggestions please email me with them at the email link provided on the first "HomePage" of this site. And thanks for stopping by. The present year (in the game) is: 2612 T.A.

The following is an explanation of the names of the days of the week, as quoted from the tales of Braindlear the Master Bard of the court of Archendurn {{thanks to Dale Maxwell for the names and explanations that appear here}}.

"The first day of the week is named after the first born of the first set of twins. Lare: Signifying first, and bringer of new things.

The second day of the week is not named for any of the gods of the pantheon, but is named in reference to the lack of festivals on this day of the week. There have since been festivals and holidays celebrated on it, but the name still remains. Colxor: Meaning no celebration, or normal day.

The third day of the week is named in reference to a tradition of asking for the blessing of Lorana before the preparations of a wedding. This day is the favorite day for proposals, and usually a small service is held to honor Lorana prior to the wedding day. Some cities have yearly contests of youthly beauty in the spring. Traditon has the final awards on this day. Itlora: meaning beauty's hope.

The fourth day is named after the last twins. It is so named as the fourth day is the middle of the week, and is in balance with the week's beginning and end. Aqualadar: Signifying balance, middle, or equality.

The fifth day is a combination of the two omni gods. It's reason is lost in ancient times, but some have ventured that it was the day the two first came together. Critics reply that that day would have been the first day. Moaman: usually only referring to the day of the week, but some areas it is used similar to a parental relationship.

The sixth day has come to signify the day usually devoted to planting or harvesting. Today few regard this as the day to begin either, and choose to work as they have the time or labor to do so. Some supersticious folk today will not begin farming projects on any other day. Dagtor: Meaning dig or cut.

The last day of the week would be a reference to the last of the first set of twins. Because of his darker nature, the name has been subtly altered in fear of gaining his attention. Maret: Refering to last, or end of something."
