Calendar

The Calendar system used in Ranath is based off of the one used in the World of Greyhawk setting, published in 1979, as well as "A realistic Enough for Fantasy" Calendar, posted by Martin Ralya. The year consists of 364 days, which is divided into 12 months which each have 28 days. In addition to this, there are four one-week-long festivals throughout the year. These festivals are marked by the appearance of an Astral Illumination, which appears every 84 days, and lasts for 7. This weeklong phenomenon marks the beginning of each season.

Each month has 4 weeks of seven days each. The days of the week are: Sunday, Starday, Moonday, Godsday, Waterday, Earthday, and Freeday. Godsday is commonly associated with worship, and Freeday with rest. The remaining days are considered "work days."

It is currently year 1427. The formats for the date are as follows:

Long form:

Sunday the 1stof Fireseek, in the year 1427.

Short form:

Fireseek 1, 1427.
