Timelines and Calendars

The Emortian Calendar
While the many races of Emorta have developed their own methods for mapping and explaining the movement of the sun and moon, there is one that is agreed upon. This, however, does not change the belief as to why the sun and moon exist, such as the Tuatha claim that the sun rising symbolizes Essenia's waking into the world, while it's descent means she is lowering her gaze upon the land. Night is often considered to be the time when her enemies are at their strongest. Other races, such as the humans, have less religious explanations. For example, they call a normal day by the name of a "Sky-cycle"

A week in the world of Emorta consists of 7 days and they are as follows:

Moonday, Swordsday, Lifeday, Marchday, Songday, Saintsday, Sunsday.

A month consists of 28 days or 4 weeks, and there are 12 of them present on the calendar.

Snowmelt - Early Spring

Essenia's Bounty - Spring

The Great harvest - Late Spring

The Long Heat - Early Summer

Sun's Fury - Summer

Scorching Wind - Late Summer

Nature's Retreat - Early Fall

The Long Fall - Fall

Fertility's End - Late Fall

Frostfall - Early Winter

Sun's Slumber - Winter

Winter's Breath - Late Winter

Taking all of this into account, one year is equal to 336 days.
