[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1767658, member: 13098"] [b]The Calendar and Phases of the Moons[/b] I figure you guys are starting to become a little interested in the calendar and the phases of the two moons. Toward that end, I have two PDFs for you. The first is a two page yearly calendar for "odd years" and "even years". The other PDF is an eight page quarterly calendar that breaks out each season for each year. The calendar wraps across two years because of the moon phases. The first moon, Chandra, is a 28 night cycle. The second moon, Tulay, is a 56 night cycle. Chandra has always been in the skies while Tulay appeared over 950 years ago when the world was being finished by Tholnar. The legend says that after the mad god, Mhata Nahal, was ejected from the earth by the heroes of the age, evil was evicted from the land. In celebration, and to offer the hope of peace, Belmay crafted a second moon. While Tulay and Chandra will match full moon phases, they never match new moon phases. Thus, the night is never truly dark. Darkness is unable to gain even that temporary hold on the land and evil is weakened because of that. Unfortunately, there are periodic eclipses that allow Darkness a momentary moment of power. Eclipses are completely random and the only predictions of when they might come are granted by seers and prophets. These always presage a time of violence and it is theorized that the powers of evil actually assault the heavens at these times. The gods will neither confirm nor deny this, but it is certainly true that terrible, sometimes cataclysmic events occur on earth. Lunar Eclipses tend to happen when one of the two moons is new. There has only been one time in all of history where a lunar eclipse blotted out both moons. The sun the following day was also partially darkened. Solar eclipses are rather rare and are also a herald of bad tidings. The calendar itself was originally devised by the Thurgon. It is structured as 12 months to a year. Each month is 30 days with 5 six day weeks. Between each season is a Feast day. Some nations use a different calendar, some nations do not celebrate each Feast day. The Festival in Greerson bracketed the Feast at the end of Meadow, the day between Summer and Autumn. The year is 1011, which is 1011 years after Lord Greerson founded Ft Greerson. The next full moon is soon, Honeyfest 28. I did not mark in major holidays. If you have any ideas for holidays for your individual cultures/faiths, feel free to post them. The calendars aren't perfect and I may choose to revise them again in the future. [/QUOTE]
