Calendar

An Elanthian day is equivalent to 6 real hours, so a week in Elanthia is 4 days. The length of real time each of these celestial periods last is as follows: This is very helpful for knowing the type of day:

Midnight: 15 minutes
Very Early Morning: 60 minutes (total)
Almost Dawn: 30 minutes
Dawn: 15 minutes
Early Morning: 15 minutes
Mid Morning: 30 minutes
Late Morning: 15 minutes
Noon: 15 minutes
Early Afternoon: 30 minutes
Mid Afternoon: 30 minutes
Late Afternoon: 15 minutes
Dusk: 15 minutes
Early Evening: 15 minutes
Mid Evening: 30 minutes Late Evening: 30 minutes
This took forever to get because I had to ask so many Moon Mages and I even sat down at timed it but anyways.

The Week

A week in Elanthia is 4 days long. There are ten weeks and each week is equivalent to 24 hours of real time...time flies fast in Elanthia =). The weeks are as follows: Kertandu after Kertigen, Hodandu after Hodierna, and so on through Evandu, Truffandu, Havrandu, Elandu, Chandu, Glythandu, Faeandu, Tamsandu

The Months

The days are longer than a month in real time. They are about 40 days though there is only 10 weeks. Therefore the lack of weeks is made up by the number of days in a month. A year in Elanthia is fairly shorter than a year in real time though. The list of months and what days they occupy during an Elanthian year is listed below:

1st month of Akroeg the Ram (Days 0-39)
2nd month of Ka'len the Sea Drake (Days 40-79)
3rd month of Lirisa the Archer (Days 80-119)
4th month of Shorka the Cobra (Days 120-159)
5th month of Uthmor the Giant (Days 160-199)
6th month of Arhat the Fire Lion (Days 200-239)
7th month of Moliko the Balance (Days 240-279)
8th month of Skullcleaver the Dwarven Axe (Days 280-319)
9th month of Dolefaren the Brigantine (Days 320-359)
10th month of Nissa the Maiden (Days 360-399)

The Moons and the Stars

The three moons which orbit around Elanthia are Xibar, Katamba and Yavash. They are blue, black, and red, well not completely one of those colors but they look like a shade of the color. The citizens of Elanthia except the Moon Mages seem not to care much about these big celestial bodies of mass, unless of course they start doing things like shining yellow etc. as shown below. Though the only reason the Moon Mages care is because they rely upon the moons for their magic and to observe the future.

Yavash

If you really need to learn anything about the calendar find a Moon Mage because they rely on the bodies of celestial mass to function their magic.

And I repeat, Elanthia is round!!!!!





Shown here is an assumed pattern of how one of our moons might orbit our Elanthia.

I have a belief that the moon and all the other planets in the universe circle our Elanthia, Elanthia is the center of it all shown below.

Some planets orbit our moons shown below
