• Isélyr Calendar - Seasons and Celebrations

    Calendar:


    Isélyr recognizes a calendar of twelve cycles based on the twin moons that orbit the planet. (It is speculated by outsiders that one of these moons is, in fact, a Terran satellite, however, Terran authorities refuse to comment.) Once every twelve cycles, known as Ascension, both Argyros, the silver moon and Arjana, the golden moon are visible in the skies. This occurrence marks the end of The Gathering and the beginning of The Calm. The names of the twelve cycles (And their Gregorian counterparts) are listed:

    Alawë - January
    Legodan - February
    Nalleme -March
    Norovir - April
    Taleth - May
    Elervir - June
    Rinana - July
    Faelwen - August
    Ventôriel - September
    Yára - October
    Tanna - November
    Araman - December

    Each lunar cycle is comprised of 28 days with the exception of Elervir and Tanna, both of which are comprised of 30 days. Between The Gathering and The Calm, an additional seven days are added. This is the time known as The Ascension.

    Rarely ever used except to denote celebrations or anniversaries, the names of Isélyr's seven day week are as follows:

    Istus
    Sadron
    Tanion
    Amathon
    Verion
    Alion
    Nenien
