Months of the Year
While the Everian calendar differs from the rest of Visctheria, the number of days in a year remains the same, as do the regular measurements of time. The names of months and weekdays are changed according to the words of the Council of Everia, as well as the number of days in each month.
Vrohass
Eukius
Stelors
Bixis
Clemst
Uxam
Freyln
Drafols
Vrosvius
Giixius
Days of the Week
The days of the Everian week were each named for the five generations of Kings that ruled during the Everian Dark Age. The Council ruled that thier skill and willingness to uphold duty during the chaotic time granted them the right to be remembered forever, and named the days after them. The days in order are named Dotux, Sinah, Freudhe, Jote, and Myla.
Seasons
The seasons, due to the slightly different calendar, are shifted so that Spring is the first season. Arcanists have noted that the Everian calendar year starts on the first of Gloweth in the Visctherian Calendar, right as Spring visits the world.
Spring
Spring is the first season of the Everian calendar year, and begins with Vrohass. After celebrating the new year is Eukius, and the season ends with the significant festivities of Stelors.
Summer
Summer begins with Bixis and Sun's Peak, which is celebrated on these hot days. The second and final month in Summer is Clemst.
Autumn
Autumn, as the third season of the year, starts with Uxam and quickly passes to Freyln. The shorter months are easily overshadowed by the longer Drafols, which Everians usually picture as the stereotypical autumnal month.
Winter
Winter, also measured in two months, consists of Vrosvius and Giixius, the last two months of the year. The end of the year is celebrated along with the Night Sun, and few citizens of Everia pass this season without a celebration.
Holidays
The holidays of Everia are also wildly different from the rest of Visctheria, and are strictly upheld by the Everian Church.
New Year
The New Year is celebrated by followers of any Gods, but special events are mostly celebrated by followers of Xilios, as it means that He has successfully made it around the world another year.

Stelors

The first three days of Stelors are celebrated for Xilios, the next three for Vumir, and the third set for Dophine. The last three days are left to celebrate the victory over Ghaotz, full of feasting and retelling the story of the Sealing.
