Calendars

The Mierdyyn circles its sun once every 364 days. Pick a calendar, I recommend the humane calendar, and roll 1d364 (if you don’t have a 1d364 use a dice program or roll 4d% and subtract 4, and re-roll any result over 364).

Based on the Three Moons

The Elvish Calendar

1^st moon: Amoraa

Large Blue Moon

Luunx circles the Mierdyyn once every 364 days. The orbit is not stable so it moves in the night sky in a 60 year cycle. Each year has one of 12 astrological symbols each from a constellation and there are 5 ages. This calendar is used only by those who live for thousands of years. This total of 60 years is known as an Ayon. Each Year is divided into 4 seasons: Renewed, Growing, Aged, and finally Dying, each of which lasts 91 days. Each day begins as Sun rise. The year begins on the day after the “New”-moon. Dates are expressed as follows: 127^th Ayon in the Age of Laugwin in the 35^th day of the Aging Dragon. The Calendar counts back since long before Lord Thaner’s victory.

This grants a +2 perfection bonus to characters with wild empathy from a class. To use wild empathy, the sylestian and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions.
