[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4748674, member: 20323"] I use a lunisolar staff calendar with archaic germanic names. :) [sblock=Fantasy Calendar] [B]The Lunisolar Calendar[/B] People of the Middle Kingdoms rely on “stave calendars”, or when wood is scarce they adopt the dwarven “rune stones”; this method of keeping time involves complex carvings denoting the seasonal cycle, yearly cycle, and 19-year lunar cycle, along with rituals, planting and harvest dates, and holy days. Each year has a “golden number” representing where in the 19 year cycle it lies before the full moon returns to the same day it filled the night sky 19 years ago. The 19 year cycle contains 235 synodic months, including 7 embolismic months. [B]Month Names[/B] January Eismond (ice moon) February Hornmond (hornet moon) March Lenzmond (spring moon) April Machonmond (making moon) May Wonnemond (abundant moon) June Brachmond (fallow moon) July Hertmond (hay moon) August Erntmond (harvest moon) September Scheidmond (separating moon) October Weinmond (wine moon) November Nebelmond (fog moon) December Julmond (yule moon) [B]Celestine Year[/B] The Celestine Year measures from the end of the mythic age and falling of the Veil roughly 3300 years ago. When the first Celestine temple burned the records were lost so the exact date may never be known. [B]Aquiline Year[/B] The empire adopted the Celestine calendar for its own use, resetting it at the founding of the empire 577 years ago with the “Aquiline Year” designator. [B]Druidic Reckoning[/B] Druids are master timekeepers and use a system more complex and more accurate than most, having originated the rune staff. Time is grouped into named centuries (the current is the 9th year of Embers) which are governed by a certain arrangement of stars in the sky. The position of the moon in relation to its 19-year cycle is called the House (currently the moon is in the 9th house). In addition, druids do not use the normal months but rely on a system of 13 which do not require the insertion of holy days. These divisions also correspond to a type of zodiac system based which tree is flowering at that time of year: Ash, Birch, Alder, Rowan, Willow, Holly, Hawthorn, Oak, Hazel, Reed, Vine, Ivy, and Elder.
