Calendar and Time

The 12 main gods have designated times of year reserved for celebration and worship, and these times are known as months in Esringne. Within each month, there are exactly 27 days within each month. Each week in Esringne is 9 days, and therefore 3 of these weeks lie within a month. Every three years, another week is added to the end of the year. This week is called the Week of Rejoicing; it is a week-long celebration in which the gods are praised and festivals spread across the lands. (The true reason why a week is added on every year is to get the time "caught up" or "realigned", as their calendar is not perfectly accurate with how the actual celestial bodies are aligned.)

This way of keeping time has been around for approximately 783 years. Many dates spoken about are from Year 783 (the world's current year), or earlier.

The Esringne Calendar begins in the height of spring, when the world is in bloom.
