The Chrysian Calendar

Time in Angrea flows according to the dance of infinite suns and three moons, measured in spans and marked by tide days. The Guild of Timekeepers, under House Canae's scholarly oversight, maintains this sacred reckoning.

Understanding the Calendar

The Four Seasons

The year is divided into four seasons, with solstices and equinoxes falling on the last day before the following span (typically a tide day):

  • Vierna (Winter) - Two spans: Nivren and Aethalis
  • Melis (Spring) - Two spans: Karantine and Mermal
  • Solata (Summer) - Three spans: Brin, Helios, and Ilionath
  • Tumelis (Autumn) - Two spans: Canavin and Rimmar

The Nine Spans

Each year consists of nine spans of 33 days each, totaling 297 days in a standard year:

  • Nivren

    Vierna (Winter)

    The first span of the year, marked by the festival of Nivrennight on day 1 and The Vertumn on day 33.

  • Aethalis

    Vierna (Winter)

    The deepest winter span, featuring Aetherveil on day 9. The spring equinox falls on the last tide day before Karantine.

  • Karantine

    Melis (Spring)

    Spring's arrival brings The Convening (day 15), The Masquerain (day 18), and Liberation Day (day 21).

  • Mermal

    Melis (Spring)

    Late spring, marked by Meralis (day 15) and The Viridian (day 24). The summer solstice falls on the last tide day before Brin.

  • Brin

    Solata (Summer)

    The first summer span, featuring The Memoriad (day 9) and Chaser's Landing (day 33).

  • Helios

    Solata (Summer)

    High summer, with Helianth celebrated on day 27.

  • Ilionath

    Solata (Summer)

    The final summer span, opening with The Pilgriming on day 1. The autumn equinox falls on the last tide day before Canavin.

  • Canavin

    Tumelis (Autumn)

    The harvest span, marked by Luminary (day 9) and Garvan (day 27).

  • Rimmar

    Tumelis (Autumn)

    The final span, beginning with Rimtide on day 1. The winter solstice falls on the last tide day before Nivren.

Tide Days

When the accumulated difference between the theoretical 297-day year and the actual solar year exceeds tolerance, the Guild of Timekeepers announces Tide Days. These exist outside the normal span structure, inserted after a span when specific celestial conditions align. Years typically have between 4 and 32 tide days, making actual year lengths vary from 301 to 329 days.

Days of the Week

Each span follows an 11-day week cycle:

Liansday, Torrisday, Batuday, Felday, Midday, Merday, Zolsday, Patriday, Kelvday, Restday, Markday

Restday and Markday form the "Endweek" - traditional days of rest and commerce.
