It is comprised of twelve months of thirty days each. Each month has five weeks of six days. There are six universal festival days that are between the months are denote the beginning and end of seasons. The Long Day Festival is on the summer solstice and the New Dawn Festival is on the last day of spring. The Long Night Festival is the last day of autumn and the Short Day Festival is on the winter solstice. The Planting Festival is the spring equinox and the Harvest Festival is the autumn equinox. The Long Day Festival is also the first day of the calendar year.The Sithasian calendar is used only in one nation. It has eleven months, each varying from 32 to 39 days in length. They have no concept of weeks or even days of the week. A given day is just referred to by the day of the month. The calendar begins about three weeks before the winter solstice (a moot term in a desert land with no winter or night sky). For example, where we might say Thursday, January 23, they would simply say the 15th of Batar.  Since Sithasia is a sort of theocracy the calendar is a propaganda tool filled with relgioius names related to or associated with Seth. Settal is "Seth's month", Khazal is "Khazdul's month" (Seth's mortal son), Cassala is "Cassandra's month" (Khazdul's first wife), etc.I may develop more calendars in the future, but for now the players have only been exposed to the Davian one, and that only by my references. I think it gives the game a sense of richness, especially when they look back over the campaign synopsis and see the progression of time.</blockquote>
