Toilday: A work day. Wealday: A work day. Oathday: A work day on which it is often considered advantageous to sign contracts and oaths. Fireday: A work day that is most often the market day. Starday: A work day. Sunday: Generally a day of rest and one devoted to religious observances. The months follow the various gods worshipped across the Inner Sea: Abadius (ah-BAY-dee-us) has 31 days.
