Calendar of Areth
Most of the major societies of Areth use the same calendar, developed by the Aknorian seers ages ago. It follows the traditional Aknorian Cycles, each Cycle being approximately 61 days in length. You can find detailed information about the Aknorian Calendar in the Legends Rulebook, 3rd Edition. A short summary follows.
| Cycle Name | Cycle Length | Months |
|---|---|---|
| Ash | 61 days | September & October |
| Phoenix | 61 days | November & December |
| Ice | 59 days | January & February |
| Wind | 61 days | March & April |
| Earth | 61 days | May & June |
| Fire | 62 days | July & August |
While most cultures refer to a seven-day week, there are no commonly agreed upon names for the days of the week. Generally the days of a given week are referred to by number (i.e. the 5th day, etc.). Note that Legends refers to Sunday as the 7th day and Monday as the 1st day. Events usually begin on the 5th night and run through the 7th day.
The Aknorian Calendar year corresponds to out out-of-game year, less four hundred.
So, as an example, the 9th of June, 1996, would be the 40th day of the Cycle of Earth, 1596.
