The Calendar of the Dawn Lands

The calendar consists of 18 months, each comprising 26 days making a total of 468 days in a year. This is measured by the orbit around the local star named Eldur-morgin (which translates to “Heaven’s Dawn” in the Dwarfish). Created by Dawn Lander priests and clerics a little over 200 years ago, this calendar is usually known as the "common calendar". It still uses the Dwarven Calendar for the years but the names of the months and the festivals are influenced by, or borrowed from, the dominate cultures on the western continent of Shiandria. The other parts of the world, and some of the other cultures, may use different calendars.
