The Starseeker Calendar
The Starseeker Calendar is the default Calendar used in Vives. Alternative calendars include The Midoran Calendar, The Elven Calendar and The Crystal Calendar.
((Note 1: Elven Calendar still being written by The Ranger.))
((Note 2: The Crystal Calendar is the Helkrisian Calendar and is still being written.))
Outline
* There are 12 months to a year
* There are 30 cyclics [days] to a month
* There are 5 cyclics [days] to a week
* There are 6 weeks to a month
* There are 24 hours to a day
Seasons
Seasons vary from place to place; The Cold Lands only have one season, Midor has three, others have four, while places like Buckshire Marsh may have as much as seventeen.
Therefore, The Starseeker Calendar does not try to define seasons.
Months
The months are as follows:
1. Aellyndrax
2. Silmarillax
3. Triplidax
4. Ragnorax
5. Maerax
6. Shyntriax
7. Mithadrax
8. Cyrundrax
9. Daggorax
10. Zhohliax
11. Slitherax
12. Morgurax
Only a select few entities on Vives know the etymology behind the month names.
Dates
Neither weeks nor dates are named.
Date format is:
[D]cy [M] [Y]*
A star is tacked on to the end to indicate that the date is being reckoned according to the Starseeker Calendar.
Example 1: The 30th cyclic of Mithadrax, 7019 would be:
30cy Mithadrax, 7019*
Example 2: The 2nd cyclic of Slitherax, 9011 would be:
2cy Slitherax, 9011*
Vives vs RL
The RL year 2006 is Starseeker year 15017*
Telling Time
The Starseeker Clock acknowledges 24 hours per cyclic.
Time is expressed as:
hh:mm
