Timekeeping on the Awakened World

The Awakened World uses the Sophisticate Standard Calendar which numbers the years After Foundation (AF), from the year when the first Parliament met at the Court of Sunrise in Aberstone.
There are a total of seventeen months in the calendar. Sixteen of them have twenty four days with eight months before and after the central month (Highyear) which has only sixteen days. Each weekly period consists of eight days which means every month starts on the first day of the week and has exactly three weeks, except for Highyear which has only two.

Spiritday and Soulday are both holidays at the end of the week, somewhat in the way that Saturday and Sunday are conventionally thought of on Earth Zero. Yieldday is the day before Spiritday for wrapping up business and preparing for the weekend. It is traditionally taken as a half working day and half holiday by the majority of people, meaning that there are five and a half working days and two and a half rest days in each week.
The calendar aligns well by design with the periods of lunar months which take 32 days. Slight discrepencies with the astromical year are compensated for by the addition of irregular leap days which are always added into the month of Highyear, before the second Primeday that marks the summer solstice. These leapdays are given the name Holyday and they are taken as extra holiday. Since the Primeday of the solstice is also a holiday, there is a holiday period of four and a half days from Yieldday to Primeday in the leap years (and three and a half days in a normal year).
The first Primeday of Neworbit is also a public holiday. By tradition, city charters have always been granted on a Primeday and the aniversary of the granting of its charter is a public holiday within that city. The charter holidays for those cities which are still inhabited in 3180 are shown on the calendar.
