Terranum Calendar

The Terranum Calendar was the standard measurement of time used by the inhabitants of the planet Terranum. It was created by the Lector of the Church of Amon and lasted for at least two-thousand years from its establishment.
==History and Mechanics==
After an unexpected meteor shower rained down across the world, Lector Adam declared a new era, one that would be purer than the "sinful days" that came before. From that point on, all succeeding years were labeled as "AM" or "After Meteors", while all prior years were labeled as "SE" or "Sinful Era".
The base unit of time was seconds, with sixty seconds making a minute and sixty minutes making an hour The base unit of dating was days, each one made up of twenty-four hours. Seven days made a wekk, thirty days made a month, and a year would pass after eight months. Each month was named after one of the base "elements" of the world. From beginning to end, they were:
1. Luxon (light)
2. Tellus (earth)
3. Vitala (life)
4. Ignist (fire)
5. Mortem (death)
6. Aethum (air)
7. Roso (water)
8. Teneb (dark)
