Brictaelgican Luni changing year calendar

The Drùntuim ad Smê is based on the changes in nature during the individual seasons in connection with nature gods and the course of the moon. A Tuim has 365 Midrêlu (lunar days) in 52 Hùr, 13 Tâdi and 4 Swántum. A Tâdi has 28 Midrêlu in 4 Hùr. One Hùr has 7 Midrêlu. A Midrêlu has 24 Vâr.

Development

As early as the 8th century of the 8th millennium BEC, after the first Âtogôtaigs of Prigg-Thâgi settled in the middle of Brictælgis, they began to observe nature and the course of the moon. Their druids concluded that natural deities were responsible for the course of life, and the gods were already being commemorated when the city of Prigg-Thâgi existed. After the destruction of the city in 7,675 BEC, the knowledge was passed down to future generations and further developed. The belief in the seven deities still exists today and they are thanked with festivals and holidays.

The four seasons mean something like the time of night "Nhinswán", time of life "Thointuim", time of growth "Brictuim" and time of ripening "Swántánn". The 13 months are named after the seven nature gods of the moon, earth, rain, fertility, sun, wind and death, as well as the observations of the changing seasons. The names of the days of the week were also derived from the deities.
