Atlantean Calendar

Atlantis is an ununsal planet in many ways and that includes its time cycle . Due to orbiting a far distance from its blue Star (yet another oddity) , the planet completes a full rotation around the sun in 1508 Terran days . The fact that this is equal to a full four Terran years has made time keeping and records a very complex matter here .

The regular imperial calendar was attempted at first but proved to be inadequate for the shifting nature of Atlantis’s climates . However it remains in use for offworld purposes such as diplomatic documentation and trade deals.

Instead Atlanteans use a newly designed calendar system designed by the Magos Biologis Zerxes (whose expertise in the patterns of the native Wildlife such as immigrations and mating seasons was invaluable and necessary for this endeavor) in his free time based on his observations and data acquired from other magi throughout the world

The Calendar (known as the Zerxesian Calendar or simply the Atlantean Calendar ) adds a new subdivision for a year called a Roba’rto which is roughly quarter a year (or 377 days) and is composed of 13 months (each being 29 days in length).

A Roba’rto essentially takes the place of a Terran year in Atlantean documentation functioning as the age keeping time unit (otherwise it would lead to some uncomfortable misunderstandings as the age of concent would be four years)

Each of the four Roba’rtos is named after a notable Atlantean creature :

* Thornious Roba’rto
* Umbros Roba’rto
* Bucaequinus Roba’rto
* Plasmius Roba’rto

The naming is not purely symbolic as each name indicates the period with the creature in question is most active (The Thornious one is when Thorner Dragon attacks are most frequent).

Each Roba’rto has its own set of months signifying unusual cyclical events that happen during these periods.
