Chronomajia

Chronomajia is a religion created by Tawnyx and Mav in NE0 and followed by members of Shikoku. Followers of Chronomajia worship time and its passage with the belief that the worship is what keeps time continuing.

## Calendar

The calendar is very important to Chronomajia, and the religion has its own calendar to track the holidays. It is known as the Chronomajik Calendar.

The biggest measurement in the calendar is called a dal-ui, which lasts 29-30 days. Every other dal-ui, one day is removed so it can stay in line with the lunar calendar. This is known as a Leaping Dal-Ui. The day skipped is always Hae 7, in the Tulip Yuk, as it is considered the most unlucky day of the dal-ui. Both the number 7 and the colour orange are considered unlucky in the religion, and Leaping Dal-Uis are considered luckier than non-leaping dal-uis due to Hae 7 being skipped.

Another major measurement of time is called a yuk. There are 6 yuks in each dal-ui, each with a corresponding colour, flower, and theme. All yuks except the Tulip Yuk always last 5 days, and the Tulip Yuk lasts 4 or 5 days depending upon whether or not there is a Leaping Dal-Ui active (4 on Leaping Dal-Uis and 5 on non-leaping dal-uis). Each yuk has at least one holiday, with some having up to two.

The six yuks are as follows:

### The Rose Yuk

Colour: Red

Flower: Rose (or poppy if a smaller flower is needed).

Theme: Luck

### The Tulip Yuk

Colour: Orange

Flower: Orange Tulip

Theme: Bulhaeng (lack of luck, unluckiness)

### The Sunflower Yuk

Colour: Yellow

Flower: Sunflower (or dandelion if a smaller flower is needed)

Theme: Harvest

### The Fern Yuk

Colour: Green

Flower: Fern (considered a flower in Shikokuan culture)

Theme: Nature

### The Orchid Yuk

Colour: Blue

Flower: Blue Orchid

Theme: Ocean

### The Allium Yuk

Colour: Purple

Flower: Allium

Theme: New Beginnings

## Holidays

Chronomajia has nine holidays spread throughout the six yuks. The Rose, Sunflower, and Allium Yuks have two holidays each while the Tulip, Fern, and Orchid Yuks have one each. The holiday in the Tulip Yuk is ocasionally skipped due to Leaping Dal-uis.

### In the Rose Yuk

The first holiday in the Rose Yuk, called Hae Dal-Ui is on Hae 1, the first day of the Dal-Ui. It is part of a 2 day long celebration of the new Dal-Ui starting on Hae 30 in the Allium Yuk. Hae Dal-Ui is a day of rest and preparation for the new Dal-Ui, and work is not to be done during it.

The second holiday takes place on Hae 3 and is known as Hae Un. It's a celebration of luck in which decorations from the last Dal-Ui are taken down and new ones are put up. The decorations are typically red.

### In the Tulip Yuk

The Tulip Yuk only has one holiday that is skipped every other Dal-Ui. Taking place on Hae 7, Hae Bulhaeng is a dreaded day for many in Shikoku. Hae Bulhaeng is considered the most unlucky day, and is removed during Leaping Dal-Uis. It is common practice to hang lanterns in order to ward off bad luck.

### In the Sunflower Yuk

Suhwag Chugje, the harvest festival, is the first holiday taking place in the Sunflower Yuk, on Hae 13. It is a day to share food and be thankful for the harvest.

The second holiday is is less known, as followers of Chronomajia are less vocal about the practices of this holiday. It is, however, known that it takes place on Hae 14 and involves sharing stories. "14 hours" is also a phrase used, with unknown meaning. The holiday is called Paenpig.

### In the Fern Yuk

The sole holiday in the Fern Yuk, taking place on Hae 18, is Hae Tamgu. The holiday focuses on exploration, and people are encouraged to explore their faction or somewhere new.

### In the Orchid Yuk

Hae Bada occurs on Hae 25 and celebrates the ocean. Common activities include boating, swimming, and exploring the ocean.

### In the Allium Yuk

The first holiday in the Allium Yuk is Hae Majia on Hae 27, which celebrates magic.

The second and final holiday of the Dal-Ui is on Hae 30, the final day of the Dal-Ui. It is called Hae Sijag and is the beginning of a two day long celebration of the new Dal-Ui, the second day being Hae Dal-Ui on Hae 1. Unlike Hae Dal-Ui, Hae Sijag is a day of celebration rather than rest, and followers of Chronomajia will invite non-believers and other friends to celebrate.
