Revision as of 16:59, 21 December 2018

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 ancestral Lion Clan, believed to be similar in form to the the calendar of the Eladamri. The Lion Clan however used a lunar calendar, so while dates are expressed similarly, they do not correlate. The year is broken down into twelve months, each with between 30 or 31 days. Weeks are also used.

Calendar layout

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

History

Atayans were somewhat unique among cultures of the region in that they did not use either a lunar calendar or one based around the equinoxes. When the society was still a group of simple farmers, they took up the tradition of counting the first day of winter as the first of the year. By the time extant records began, the first day frost appeared at dawn in a specific field became "the first day" for all of Ataya. This obviously caused significant problems with record-keeping, as it meant that the length of each year varied, sometimes heavily, and the actual date of the first day could take several days to reach the outlying provinces.

Sometime around the end of the Dynastic Period, the Attayans fixed the date at a seemingly random point(not aligned with any lunar or solar events) for the first of the year and the first day of winter, and declared that going forward a new year would begin every 365 days. This calendar had already been long in use by Eieber's era, and was thus adopted for the new Alliance.
