Chuvian Calendar

This article descibes the days of the week and the months of the calender, as well as displaying the calender of the current year. Celestial objects do have some bugs on World Anvil, so a more accurate calender is available here.

The kingdom shares a common calendar with the rest of the continent, but the names of the week and months are different, with each one having different names behind it. The origins of the calender being 8 months long goes back longer than the existence of the Chuvian kingdom, but other continents have broken up the year differently, and some even have calendars based on the lunar cycles of one of the moons.

Due to these differences, it can be assumed that everything in this article is described from a Chuvian point of view.

Seasons

Being in the southern hemisphere there are four seasons, mirrored from what occurs in the north. They define a lot of life in Chuvia, and are used to break up the months. The average length of each season is 88 days, but they are known to be longer and shorter, but the months are based on this average.

Months

The months are modelled around the seasons, with each month functioning as an early and a late of the season. They have different lengths, but the months average 44 days each.

Acur

Acur is the month of early spring, when the first crops are planted.

The name Acur comes from old Chuvian, meaning sowing of the first crops. It is thought that this has been the name of a month since before Chuvia was founded.

Breithloigh

Breithloigh is the month of late spring, when farms expect a lot of births from their animals.

The name comes from an old Chuvian word for giving birth, referring to the rearing of animals, as well as the old supersition that those born in this month will have better luck than normal.

Martos

Martos is the month of early summer, when the hay is made, and the sheep are sheared.

The name comes from the wife of the first king of Chuvia, Marta.

Tormas

Tormas is the late summer, with the festival of fire opening it. Wheat and barley will be harvested now, with fields being prepped for next year.

The name is from Tormoid I, the first King of Chuvia. The month was chosen to bare his name, as this was when he faced down the last boar lord and defeated him battle.
