Tamerian Calendar

The Tamerian Calendar, also known as the Old Tamerian Calendar, is the standard calendar used in most of the world of Aeon, including the entirety of the continental landmasses of Truyea and Masand and most of the westernmost continent of Augusta. In the east, only the isolated island kingdom of Noctis Abora uses a different calendar. The history of the Tamerian calendar dates back at least 2000 years, before the founding of even the Sun Empire, to the empires of Old Tameria and Nasarr. It was introduced as a global constant at varying times over the next few hundred years, and has seen been adopted by the vast majority of the world of Aeon.
During the Great Separation of the Realms, the calendar was permanently change to accommodate the dissolution of the Sun Empire, with successive years marked as After Separation (A.S) and years before the death of the Sun Emperor marked as Before Separation (B.S). This system was introduced and immediately adopted by the Empire of Sevicia, and its influence spread rapidly. In the present, almost all states and nations across Aeon use the Tamerian system of numbering years, with the notable exception of the hermit kingdom of Noctis Abora. 
The current year is 713 A.S.
The Tamerian calendar separates a full year into 363 days, in twelve months, in three seasons - Tullena, Mandera, and Saturna. Each month has 30 days, with the exception of the last month of Saturna, which was 33. Unlike other calendars, the months are not uniquely named, instead referred to by their numeric sequence. They are, chronologically:
* Tullena I, Tullena II, Tullena III, Tullena IV
* Mandera I, Mandera II, Mandera III
* Saturna I, Saturna II, Saturna III, Saturna IV, Saturna V
Colloquially across most of Aeon, the months are referred to by number (i.e. "the fourth month of Tullena"), although official written reports and documents are usually written as above. The Tamerian calendar has seven days per week and 51 weeks a year. The origins of the days of the week come from the creation story from the religion of the Old Gods, listed below;
Days of the week in the Tamerian calendar.
Day 	Position in week 	Origins of name 	Notes
Sor 	1st day 	Derived from the goddess Sora, who on the first day (in the creation story of The Five), created light, the day, and life. 	
Ora 	2nd day 	Derived from the god Orus, who on the second day, in counterbalance to Sora, shaped darkness into the night, and created the celestial bodies. 	
Nis 	3rd day 	Derived from the goddess Nyx, known as the Mother, who created the world, the sky, and the heavens, to give life a place to live. 	Known usually in some cultures as the day of harvest.
Ira 	4th day 	Derived from the goddess Mira, who on the fourth day shaped the first beings into humans, and created the oceans. 	
Do 	5th day 	Derived from the god Dio, who on the fifth day warmed the first beings by creating fire, and blessed them with fertility and desire. 	Babies born on a Do are considered to be blessed by Dio in some cultures.
Inu 	6th day 	Derived from the sixth day of creation, when the god Orus, jealous of the work of the others, created death, and cursed them to use Dio's gift of desire for violent purposes. Orus was banished by the other gods to the Realm Beyond the Dead, to serve as the watcher of those he cursed for all of time.	
Dusk	7th and final day	Derived from the seventh day of creation, where Dio blessed the remaining beings with long life, and the gods rested. 	Known in many cultures as the day of rest and religious observation.
== Seasons ==
The Tamerian calendar separates each year into three seasons - Tullena, Mandera, and Saturna. Tullena is considered to be the coldest and wettest season, with many regions observing snowfall and heightened precipitation during the months of Tullena. Tullena II is usually the wettest and coldest month of the year, although in some southern regions of Masand it has been observed to be the opposite. Mandera is the dryest and hottest season, with Mandera II observing the most sunlight of any month of the year. Saturna is a moderate season, with the first two months being warm (but not as hot as Mandera), and the latter three being notably colder. In many cultures, including those of Sevicia and Erenna, Saturna is known as the harvest season, with months three and four being where the ground is, on average, the most fertile.
