The Corinth Calendar

''This is the info from the original forum. Will rework it shortly, but in the meantime here it is for reference.''

First, understand that this is the COMMON technique for measuring time and date in the ES region. Individual nations and cultures may decide to use different calenders and time-counting techniques and names.

Millenniums and centuries are still measurements of 1,000 and 100 years, just as decades count 10 years.

A year is 360 days, divided into 9 months of roughly 40 days (some more, some less).

Nine months:
 * Murtil - 41 days <- Spring
 * Sola - 41 days <- Summer
 * Marta - 42 days
 * Jupta - 42 days
 * Saltun - 40 days <- Autumn
 * Platil - 38 days <- Winter
 * Territil - 39 days
 * Vent - 38 days
 * Neptil - 39 days

Main calendar events:


 * 1 Murtil -- Planting Day, traditional first day of spring, beginning of the Calendar Year
 * 1 Sola -- Festival of the Sun, traditional first day of summer
 * 42 Jupta -- Harvest Day, traditional first day of autumn
 * 40 Saltun -- Festival of the Night, traditional first day of Winter

"Weeks" are not a formal thing, but can commonly be called a "row", because most calenders show four rows of ten days in a month.

Individual days within a week, or a "row," do not have names like "Sunday" or "Thursday". While an individual culture may name them, the formation of a "week" is a relatively recent creation for much of the ES cultures, so day-counting is still the prevalent means of tracking the progress of time.

A single day still consists of nearly exactly 24 hours, as do our days. An hour is still sixty minutes, a minute sixty seconds, and one second is still roughly the same amount of time as in our world

As the year is nine months long, then instead of it being in Quarters as we have in real life, the Endeavor Sea calendar/financial year would be split into Thirds. When written this could be abreviated as T1, T2, T3.
