Calendar
The standard calendar year is 364 days with four 91 day months divided into thirteen 7 day weeks.
The calendar originated in Lichtholm to track when to plant and harvest crops. The original Lictholm calendar was based on 12 28 day months, based on moon phases and then after a few years and seasonal drift a 13th month was added, but not in perfect phase with the moons. The equivalent concept of a week was 7 days on the original calendar as watching Furi the use of full and new moons allowed common folk to organize on dates. The Republic later improved on it when they started building telescopes for the Dwarf lookouts to spot dragons. Scholars from The Republic realized that the moons would cycle every 91 and 14 days. The republic created an adjusted calendar with four Months that align with the seasons and 14 day weeks. Over time most people agreed upon the four 91 day cycles but did not want to move away from the seven day week. This disagreement on the calendar is another reason why Lichtholm and The Republic fight, independently these nations came to similar conclusions at similar times.
The moons also create a phenomena where the full moons align on the 55th of Lenzin and Aran; and the 48th day of Litha and Wintar. New Moons show on the 6th and 7th of Lenzin and Aran.
The calendar that was settled on in year 731 created a state where there are identical years every year with a perfect division of time, some believe that the Gods set the moons in motion to help track time.
