Turena's Calendar

Before the existence of the multiverse, the Elder God Turena, Goddess of Time, planned out all of time in the emptiness of space. She used the coming and going of a massive wave of cold energy The Elder Gods call "The Shivering Veil" to keep track of time. In the end, she had created her own calendar, which she named Turena's Calendar.

## Multiversal Calendar

Turena's calendar consists of a 10 month year, where each month consist of 4 tendays (or 40 days), and each day consisting of 30 hours, divided into 15 "of Dawn" hours and 15 "of Dusk" hours. Since the Calendar was mapped out based on a cosmic, interplanar event, all planes of existence share this calendar, ending the year as The Shivering Veil makes its way out of the multiverse.

### Months

### Eras

The inclusion of eras in history was a mortal addition to Turena's Calendar. As people with a rich history, the Lunarethians base their years on major historical events. So far, these are the current eras:

###### Era of the Sun (E.S)

Named after Thusur, God of Light and the Stars, this era begins when the mortal races of Lunareth began keeping track of their history, which was on the 2nd of Thusaril. During this era, the people of Lunareth learned to harness Erasil's gift of magic to create a civilization called Yuva. The end of this era came on the 16th of Sephenia, 2533 E.S., when Thusur left the Crescent Plane enraged at Erasil, which caused Thusur I to grow brighter and hotter, scorching the planets surface.

###### Era of the Descent (E.D.)

Right after the end of the last era, on the 17th of Sephenia, began the Era of the Descent, where the people of Lunareth were forced to leave a ruined Yuva behind to begin anew underground. Thanks to Erasil, who send his creations a Lord by the name of Erin the Keeper, the people of Lunareth were prepared to make a life for themselves underground. Under Erin the Keeper's guidance, the Lunarethians established the cities of Mythspire and Valera, along with the foundations of the Lunar Bond and the Inner and Outer Burrows. During the same time, survivors of the scorching of the planet surface rose up from the ashes of Yuva, cementing their claim over the lands, forming the Sundom.

The end of this era came on the 1st of Osirion, 610 E.D., when 7 Valeran scholars discovered a rift into another plane of existence. This event is known as The Expanse, and is the beginning of the golden age of development and invention for Lunareth.

###### Era of the Expanse (E.E.)

Named after the historical event of The Expanse, this era starts on the 2nd of Osirion when a rift to the Plane of Balance was discovered by Valeran scholars and researchers in the Temple of Erasil in Valera. This is the modern era of the history of Lunareth, and over one thousand years have passed since The Expanse.

### Hours

The 30 hours of the day are separated into 15 hours "of Dawn" and 15 hours "of Dusk", to represent both halves of the day. While the exact time of dawn and dusk varies with the seasons, during the Summer and Winter Equinoxes, dawn is at 1:00 of Dawn and dusk is at 1:00 of Dusk, exactly 15 hours apart.

## Date Syntax

To write a date using Turena's Calendar, the syntax is the following:

* Full Version: [hour] [of Dawn or of Dusk] on [day name] [day number] of [month] of [year] during the Era of [era name]
* Abbreviated Version: [hour] [Dawn or Dusk]/[day]/[month]/[year]/[era acronym]

###### Examples

* Full Version: 5:30 of Dusk on Modos 22nd of Heliades of 934 during the Era of the Expanse
* Abbreviated Version: 5:30 Dusk/22/3/934/E.E.
