Anuirean Calendar
Time is measured differently depending on where in Cerilia one happens to be. The Brechts measure time by tide
and moon, while the Khinasi track the passage of days, months, and years by the position of the sun. The Vos
generally don’t care about the days or months -- they measure time by the naming of years, with the first snowfall
after a brief summer beginning a new year. Anuireans (and Rjuriks, forced long ago to accept their method) use
the Book of Days, which they base on the orbit of the moon and the movement of the constellation of Haelyn, the
protector.
This book defines 12 months to a year, four weeks to a month, and eight days to a week. A year has 388 days.
The four annual days not part of any month have become times to celebrate and reflect. These days fall on the
vernal equinox (the Day of Rebirth), the summer solstice (the Night of Fire, when a shower of falling stars results
from annual passage through a meteor belt at the climax of Haelyn’s Festival), the autumnal equinox (the
Veneration of the Sleeping), and the winter solstice (the Eve of the Dead).
Anuireans devote six of the week’s eight days to work, giving the remainder over to leisure.
Almost 2,000 years after the destruction of the old gods, Anuire’s current yearly reckoning is 551 Michaeline
(551MR), or 551 years after the death of Michael Roele, last Emperor of Anuire. In Khinasi lands, the year is
2039 MA (dating from the Masetian Arrival in Cerilia). In certain other parts of Cerilia, the year is 1524 HC
(Haelyn’s Count), recording the years since the battle of Mount Deismaar.
