The calendar of Dulūn has 11 months, and 5 weekdays. Each of the months is named after one of the gods, and the weekdays refer to one pairing of core deities each.
The first month of the year is Nevelil, named after the deity of balance, Lillon. Nevelil is 33 days long. The second is Nevatharo, named after Atharon, also 33 days long. Following that is Nevisteus, named after Khisteus, which is 33 days long as well. Nerynne, named after Pherynne, is next, at 33 days long, followed by Neconozol, named after Conzotl, which is also 33 days long. Nesyren is named after Syrenna and is 33 days long. Nevehrun is named after Ehrendil, and is 34 days long, followed by Negash, named after Golgash, which is also 34 days long. Netyro and Nevaug, named after Tithys and Maug respectively, are both 33 days long, and occur in the listed order, and finally, Nemylal, named after Myldala, is the final month of the year and 33 days long.
The names of the weekdays represent the concepts of the opposing pairs of core deities. Autharsh is an old term representing a never-ending war between order and chaos, which is difficult to translate into any modern languages. Levakk can be most accurately translated as "above", which encompasses the domains of Khisteus and Pherynne. Entradh translates to something akin to the idea of the interaction between the physical and the metaphysical world, Conzotl and Syrenna's domains respectively. Urya is a simpler word meaning "cycle of life", referring to the cycle between life, Ehrendil's domain, and death, Golgash's domain. Lastly, Thymell can be loosely translated as "cold war", or a state in between warfare, Tithys' domain, and peace, Maug's domain.
