| The Gorean Calendar | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Please take note - Gor is in the same orbit as, but set 180 degrees away from, Earth. As a result, Gor is always hidden behind Lar-Torvis (the Sun.) The Gorean year therefore, is the same length as Earths. Gor is approximately 5/7ths the mass of Earth, resulting in a lower gravitational force. It is not clear whether Gor has an axil tilt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Gorean calendar is divided into twelve twenty-five day months. Each month consists of five weeks, or hands, each five days long. Each month is separated from the month which follows it by a five day "Passage Hand". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| following the normal Passage Hand, which marks the end of the twelth Gorean month, is a five day period known as "The Waiting Hand." During this period most Goreans mourn the passing of the of the old year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The waiting Hand concludes on the eve of the Vernal Equinox, and the following day is celebrated as the Gorean New Year. The first Hand of the month of En'Kara begins on the following day. Every fourth year {leap year} the Gorean New Year is celebrated on a seperate day between the Waiting Hand of the previous year and the first day of the First Hand of En'Kar | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
