Hi all,
I'm going to finally get started on a calendar for a homebrew game. Just looking at reality of where our modern day calender comes from and how it evolved, I have more then a few ideas and notions about how to create it.
However, one question I had was how might a fantasy setting influence the creation and development of a calendar?
What unique aspects/ideas have you used in creating your own homebrewed calendars?
I'm just looking for some possible ideas to impliment to add some additional spice and flavor. For a little background, the area of this calendar will be a kingdom with the flavor of Rome in a polytheistic world, though this kingdom predominantly worships the LG god of the pantheon.
In general, I plan to name probably three months after saints and two or three months after former rulers (it is a fairly long standing kingdom). After that, I might sneak one or two other gods into the calendar (since the LG god has children and wives who would be honored in such a way, though part of the church is petitioning the king to change the name of one of these months after a recently annointed saint (which is causing the few followers of that god to be upset)). After that, I'm a little up in the air.
Any help is appreciated.
PS - I had originally intended this to be a general thread on calendars and such, but if anyone has an specific ideas for my setting, I'm more then welcome to them. Thanks!
