The Calendar

Flag of Dhalmain by Naelin

The standard calendar of the Haan Archipelago was created in Dhalmain around 3000 years ago.
The first year of this calendar marks the time where the Dhalmanite made a complex pact with the alzufhar Behemil that started their (still ongoing) status as the breeders and carers of the best alzufhars in the whole archipelago.
They called the first era of their calendar the "Era of Alzufhar" (E.Alz), which spanned 3014 years until the coming of the High Rust.

The Week

Symbol of Autonomism by Naelin

The calendar week spans 5 days.
The names represent the four most important of the divine laws of the universe in Autonomism, the Dhalmanite religion, with the 5th day reserved for the world, governed by these laws.
People usually rest during Vhasix days, and some work a shorter time during Gleamix days.

Week day	Meaning of the day
Alocix	Day of Alocardenas, the Curiosity
Rheshix	Day of Rheshnaghty, the Intention
Primarix	Day of Primarite, the Space
Gleamix	Day of Gleamauros, the Time
Vhasix	Day of Vhas, the World
