Calendars

Across Indratera, there were many different calendars, but the Euluskan one was the main one. This page explains how we count the days, months, and years. You can also check out some of the Festivals too.
== The Years ==
=== TE - Euluska ===
The Tenkoromu Euluska system of time (Euluskan Sun Time) was spread by the The Lusken Empire. It's the default calendar for most of reference time. The first day of the year zero was the Reckoning of the Burning Hills, when the enslaved dragons who were imprisoned in flying cities revolted and caused widespread chaos. Before the year zero, you might either use the minus sign ( - ) or write RTE (Rene tenkoromu euluska - before TE). 
For example, the God Wars began in 1622 TE. 
=== PY - Underdark Time ===
The calendar used only in the Underdark is the PY. Due to the absence of a sun or seasons, the calendar is based off the phenomenon where the large underground Sea of Pity drops below freezing, spending around 84 days frozen, then 84 days unfrozen. One PY is equivalent to 84 days, making it a quarter of a TE year.
The God Wars began in 31464 PY.
=== ÉS - Rakkimar ===
This calendar of the Égis Skýndrar, used by the Old Rakkimarran raiders and colonisers who were called Skýndrar, began in -2100 TE when the clans decided 'Our land is too cold - we must settle warmer places'. It had four seasons each split in halves, and each of these halves containing 42 days. The first half of a season was known as the Low Season, and second the High Season. This made the year 336 days long, like TE. The first day of the year was the transition between winter and spring. Traditionally, dates were written in the format 'Low-Winter 29:42', meaning 'the 29th out of the 42 days in low-winter'. No one really used it in modern times, but in classical times it was all the rage.
For example, the God Wars began in 3722 ÉS
=== GW - God Wars ===
The God Wars year marking system really only counted during the God Wars, making it a 72 year long calendar from 0 to 72. The God Wars begun in 0 GW. It wasn't really used outside of this context.
=== C - Collapse ===
The Collapse system of time began at 0 when the God Wars ended. It's the time used for the post-God Wars period as it marks the years since wartime. 0 C is 1694 TE.
For example, the God Wars began in -72 C.
== The Months ==
The first month of the year is bolded.
Months have 28 days. The full moon is always on the night where the 28th becomes the first of the next month. For all intents and purposes I really ONLY use Modern Euluska.
