Anoshphite Calendar

The Anoshphite Calendar is the system of organizing time used by the people of Anoshphey. It focuses on organizing months, years and eras according to the movement of the stars across the night sky. Every seventy two days (1 irl day) makes up a month, and every seven months a year passes by. The passing of an era is decided by the Shyhe, who usually split the eras by choosing important dates as the start or end. The founding of Lyhnchai, the capital of Renesphey, which marked the arrival en masse of the Anoshphite people into the world of Abexilas, was the chosen date for the start of the latest era: the Fourth Era.
== Description ==
The system used by the Anoshphite Calendar is focused on the movement of the stars and constellations on the night sky, as the Anoshphite are keen astronomers and the stars have both cultural, economic and religious meaning to them.
The months are organized as having 72 days each (1 irl day), and the years end after 7 months have passed by (1 irl week). The Eras start when an important event happens and is decided by the Shyhe of Anoshphey or Renesphey. There have been four eras until now. The first was the Age of Creation, while the second became known as the Era of Culture. The third was the shortest era, and it became known as the Age of Pride. The Fourth Era is still ongoing but hasn't received a common name yet. At the start of the Fourth Era, a system was added to honour the Regents, known as the Regent's Year: during even years, the months that are counted are named after the old regents of Anoshphey.
The way it is written starts with the Era in parenthesis, followed by the year and the month. Example: (2) 98, Month of Eannìn. In the example, it's the Second Era and the month Eannìn of the year 98.
The months of the odd years, and only the even years before the Fourth Era, are:
* First month (Monday) is Eannìn, named after our Founder, Ean Carroweather
* Second month (Tuesday) is Lúnnìn, named after the second Founder, Shyhe (duke) Lunkin Bravnil
* Third month (Wednesday) is Ponnìn, named after Shyhe (duke) Pontéos Pontinne
* Fourth month (Thursday) is Nylenìn, named after Shyhe (duke) Nyles Reris
* Fifth month (Friday) is Adénìn, named after Érshì'Imenà (heir apparent) Adeline Orne'Valerin
* Sixth month (Saturday) is Torenìn, named after Rehir (regent) Toren Orne'Valerin
* Seventh month (Sunday) is Ahrinìn, named after Shyhe (duchess) Ahrin Aesperii
The months of the even years, the Regent's Year, from the Fourth Era and forward are:
* First month (Monday) is Felenìn, named after Rehir (regent) Felix Caicuria-McSpiegel
* Second month (Tuesday) is Shìepinìn, named after Calore (count) Sheepy II
* Third month (Wednesday) is Karinìn, named after Rehir (regent) Kaykara
* Fourth month (Thursday) is Mìrinìn, named after Rehir (regent) Mirain Caicuria
* Fifth month (Friday) is Siyoinìn, named after Rehir (regent) Siyoi Orne'Valerin
* Sixth month (Saturday) is Milchainìn, named after Rehir (regent) Milkus Orne'Valerin
* Seventh month (Sunday) is Hiranìn, named after Rehir (regent) Hirae Orne'Valerin
== Difference Between Anoshphite and Elder Calendar ==
The Elder Calendar is the calendar utilized by most of Abexilas and previously by Rathnir and Eldham. It was made the official universal calendar in the year 38 of the Second Era by the traveler StoneyStoner.
The main difference in the calendars is what they consider a year, with the Elder Calendar counting years every four months, while the Anoshphite Calendar counts it at seven months. Here are some historical Anoshphite dates in both calendars:
