The Recorders' Calendar

5 Wuheia's Month of Expectation, 466 UN

In a crazed effort to predict divine descensions, the The Recorder Oripher Frori created this complex calendar. Each day of the year is connected to three deities, and every recorded descension of a deity falls on a day related to it. The seasons are connected to The Elemental Gods, the months of each season to the The Temporal Gods), and the days of each month to The Ethical Gods and The Secular Gods. Since its creation, the calendar has proven surprisingly effective in maintaining accuracy. However, due to the number of days belonging to a deity and the varying whims of the gods, predicting descensions is still a very basic science.

This calendar breaks each 365-day year into 4 seasons, with 5 months per season, 3 weeks per month, and 6 days per week. The remaining 5 days are known as Days of Duty, each with a specific requirement. These days replaced the unnamed days marked by Oripher at the command of Rilitar Volum when she officially adopted the calendar for her many historians. Eventually, historians were forced to add a leap day, called the Day of Demons, as the cycle began to shift away from the seasons.

Tradition says to perform a certain task on each Day of Duty or receive bad luck until the next one. On the Day of Recording, you should write down something that you are afraid you will forget. On the Day of Making, you should make something new. On the Day of Going, you should go someplace you have never been before. On the Day of Doing, you should accomplish something that you have wanted to. On the Day of Returning, you should visit someplace that is important to you. On the Day of Demons, you should entreat your preferred deity for protection from wandering spirits on that day.

Dates are written in the longhand format X's Day of Y and Z, such as Burasil's Day of Remembrance and Resilience (the second day of the year after the Day of Recording). Most people use shorthand, which uses abbreviations in parenthesis. For example, Burasil's Day of Remembrance and Resilience is BRRs. Recently, some scholars have begun using a numeric notation. This version is common among those who deal with other parts of the world that do not use this calendar. In this notation, the second day of the year is 1-1-1. Days of Duty in this notation use the same as the shorthand.

Years are simply numeric, based on the number of years since the start of the current era (History of Eochora). Eochora is in its ninth era, which began with Speydom's declaration of independence from the Volic Empire. Technically, an era doesn't receive its name until it ends, but most scholars expect the current era to be named the Mercantile Era.
