Sargerithian Standard Time Keeping

The standard units of time in Sargeroth are explained in digit system similar to ours. (Example: E1 Each digit describes a progressively longer segment of time, with the digit furthest to the left being the largest.

## Era

The first Digit, accompanied by an "E" is the Era. Unlike the rest of the digits, an era is not always the same length of time. An era ends after a large event, either cultural or cataclysmic that shifts the progression of Sargeroth. The first era lasted for a period of 1000 years of general peace as the beginnings of the city took shape. The second era began with the True rise of the Great and Noble houses of Sargeroth, foremost among them being Kessel, Blumen, and Gloran houses and lasted not quite 700 years. The third Era began with the Murder of Brother Zwickel and the subsequent Succession Crisis.

## Year

A year is still split into 365 days just as in a normal calendar.

## Months

There are 4 months in the Sargeroth calendar. They represent the 4 seasons in the year. The Year begins on the summer solstice "Fall" until the autumnal equinox when "winter" begins, then upon the winter solstice "spring" which lasts until the vernal equinox with "Summer" ending the year.

## Weeks

Each month has 13 weeks (91 days) consisting of 7 days each.

## Dating structure

The order is "Era year month.day" For example: E3 13 1.42 (The Day Lord Clovis Died). The 3rd era, on the 42nd day of the 1st month of the 13th year.

## The Day of Lights

With the Sargeroth calendar, there is 1 extra day a year. Each month is actually 91.25 days long. With each month having 91 days, there is a remainder which is added up to a full day which represents the transition from one year to the next. Instead of a year transitioning immediately from one day to the next, it requires a full day before a new year is begun; the day itself not being a part of either year. It represents the rebirth of a new year, a time to forgive debts and start fresh.

For generations the night after the solstice's peak, Sargeroth has lit fires, used fireworks and thrown extravagant parties in honor of the coming year.
