Homeday is the fourth day of the week between
Midday and
Fairday. Homeday is the day for staying in and focusing on family.
Argosian Values
Marketday is one of the weekdays that reflect the values of the
Argosian Empire. While standardization was the primary goal of
Viktus'
Calendar, there was a clear attempt to guide the masses to what he considered a wholesome life. The early pamphlets and
annuals disemminated by the Argosian government make no attempt to hide this.
In the Citizens Guide to Household Management, an annual made in collaboration with the Guild of Domestics, Homeday is intended to be a domestic day focused on the family and home. Citizens are encouraged to spend the day at home.
Emytology
Numbered Days of the Week
In the
Dwarven languages the weekdays are named after their number. Historically Marketday was the fifth day of the dwarven week. This is still true in
Sirenic where Πέμπτη (
c.:Pémpti) is derived from Πέμπτος (
Pémptos, “fifth”).
In
Storan the weekdays have been changed to match the Argosian calendar, and they call the day Centra meaning 'center'.
Days named after Lunar Phases
In
Courdonne and the Empire of Trinais the week is named after lunar phases. Pleindis or Fullday represents the full moon.
