The Lion Calendar is a lunar calendar used in ancient times on Aren. Based on the phases of the moon(which repeat in a pattern every 32 days), it uses a 384-day year with each month having 32 days. Being 19 days longer than a standard Alliance Year, this makes the calendar somewhat problematic as it has no alignment to the seasons. It is believed that the ancient calendar served a strictly religious/ceremonial function, while a more robust solar calendar governed the planting and harvesting of crops.
