Sacangun Calendar

While the people of Sacangun have no true calendar, there is still a standardized measure of time based on the phases of the False Sun, the massive, almost meteor-like orb that hangs in the sky and is thought to be the source of the outsiders that rampage through Sacangun. It pulses with different colors and symbols in a consistent cycle of four; every ninety-one days, it changes phases, until the year, called a cycle, is complete. Depending on the False Sun's phase, different outsiders are more powerful and more common throughout Sacangun.
For measuring ages, cycles are used, as are individual phases (called quarters). For example, someone who is sixteen and a half years old would be "sixteen cycles and two quarters old" in Sacangun's calendar. Individual days are not measured beyond future timeframes, such as a journey taking four days or promising to meet someone the next day. As such, someone who is born at the start of a quarter or the end of a quarter, past a certain point, are considered roughly the same age.
For the purposes of denoting dates out-of-game, they can be written shorthandedly as day, then the phase. For example, 45-Skies, 1-Earth, 30-Seas, or 64-Hellfire.
==Phases==
===Time of Clear Skies===
The Time of Clear Skies is heralded by the False Sun turning crystal-clear in the sky; stars and clouds can be seen through it, but the general shape can still be seen. It is associated with lawful creatures.
===Time of Blinded Earth===
The Time of Blinded Earth is heralded by the False Sun shining brilliantly gold and yellow; it is visible even at night, making nighttime ambushes much more difficult during this time. It is associated with good creatures.
===Time of Rampaging Seas===
The Time of Rampaging Seas is heralded by the False Sun being most visible and pulsing with violently clashing colors; its shadow can be seen all throughout the land, and some say that it seems to move more in the sky. It is associated with chaotic creatures.
===Time of Hellfire===
The Time of Hellfire is heralded by the False Sun seeming to be aflame like brimstone and pyres; weather is generally much hotter during this time, and the very earth itself seems to catch aflame much more easily. It is associated with evil creatures.
