Dwarven Calendar

Calendar

The following are the names of the months in a year:

• Korimaril (diamond, mid- to late-winter): Since a diamond is clear and the sparkle is considered to be cold and hard, it seems logical to think of the first month of the year to be the start of things. The birth of a year starts out frigid, clean and in sharp focus. (starts Dec 22)
• Anurilos (sapphire, spring): The sapphire is primarily blue, and it is in this month of rains when the heavens cry their tears of joy for the coming cycle of life.
• Sognathos (emerald, late spring to early summer): The world is now brimming with life and the colors are starting to darken with health and fullness. This deep green stone represents the fullness of late spring and early summer.
• Oontrom (ruby, mid-to late-summer): The color of fire, heat and anger. The world turns hot and tempers shorten with the heat.
• Urmarillion (topaz, autumn): The nights now have a bite to them and the trees are giving their final dance of color. It is the beginning to the final stages of life and the coldness to come. This stone has the oranges, browns, and golden ambers of falling leaves.
• Kasthomin (turquoise, late autumn to early winter): This is the month when winter has arrived and turns the world to snow and ice. The unique cold blueish green of this stone well represents the frigid world, and its lacy patterns the hints of frost, snowflakes, and cracked ice on lakes.

The following are the names of the eight days in a week:

• Makersdag – The return to work and productivity. The most important day of the week.
• Holdsdag – A day of work, traditionally focussed on improving the safety of the realm and the lot of the clansmen.
• Wandersdag – A day of work, and traditionally considered a fortuitous day to set off on long journeys.
• Sagesdag – A day of work, frequently focussed on learning and improving one’s skills. It is also a day when Elders traditionally tell stories of dwarven heroes to the youngest.
• Heartsdag – A day of work, traditionally an auspicious day for battle and for training
• Tradesdag – A day of work, but also of markets, where craftsmen sell their wares.
• Revelsdag – A day of revelry, to drink and enjoy pride in one’s hard work of the previous week.
• Hearthdag – A day of rest and worship, spent with one’s family.
