Liafal Calendar

The standardized calendar used by the inhabitants of Liafal was originally drafted by Eptinan priests of Arkadi, Flame of Life, alongside Riveni astronomers. Separated into fourteen months, each lasting 23 days, the calendar was designed to primarily Arkadian propaganda -- chronicling the rise and fall of the sun (which was thought then to be an aspect of Arkadi) and its archenemy in Arkadi doctrine, the moon Metis. Since the ascension of Corbenik, Guide of the Dead and spontaneous creation of Njala, Liafal's second moon, there have been mumblings in the Arkadi priesthood along the lines of revising the calendar. Nothing has come of this as of yet, however.
The Arkadian calendar consists of fourteen months, each 23 days long. The names of the given months have shifted somewhat over the centuries, with the latter half of the year being given slightly less derogatory names as the calendar was eventually adopted outside of Eptina.
Dates in the Arkadian Calendar are written in the format of Day/Month/Year, with the exception of the months of Prelude and Epilogue, which are written as 0 and X respectively. Dawnrise begins the numbering system, as the first 'official' month.
