Alliance Calendar

An official calendar for the Unity Earth Sphere Alliance was not formally established until early in the Second Age by Pendragon Scott Sagen. The primary derivation of the new system was the establishment of the Alliance Year count for counting years, and the system of Ages that would be used until the end of the Alliance.

The Calendar itself was a 365-day cycle based on the Atayan calendar, which itself was based on the calendar of the Lion Clan, believed to be similar in form to the the calendar of the Eladamri. The year is broken down into twelve months, each with between 28 and 31 days. Weeks are also used.

Exact dates are given in a number of ways. Months of the year do not have specific universally recognized names, instead they are numbered, both twelve for the year and three for each season as the seasons occurred in Arindell during the start of the Golden Age. Exact dates are expressed as the day of the month or the day of the season.

While the dates do not correspond exactly to the actual seasons(especially accounting for regional variations), the recognized first day of winter is the first day of the year, with each season "lasting" three months. Much like many other aspects of the Alliance calendar, this can get more than a little confusing, especially accounting for regional variances.

The first day of the year could be written as:

• The 1st day of the 1st month

Or:

• The 1st day of Winter
