Taerekel Calendar

Taerekel has a 12 month calendar of 365 days, 7 months with 30 days and 5 months with 31 days.

Most 31 month days mark the beginning of something, but not all. The naming convention is very old, draconic based, and tells a story that is frankly rather miserable. Menos has 17 holidays widely recognized across the entirety of the continent.  
  The following abbreviations are used in determining where a year falls among the various ages:
  • AWC is the current age, standing for After War Collapse. This is any time post the collapse of the Age of War.
  • PDI is the previous age, standing for Post Divine Inheritance. This is accounts for years from before AWC, going back as far as the end of the Age of Titans.
  • ETL is short for Elemental Titan Lordship. This is the specific period of pre-history where the only creatures of any sentience on the Prime Material plane were Titans, Dragons, and eventually Giants. Dragons and Giants are often referred to as titans descriptively today.
