Typhrenian Calender

The Typhrenian Calender is a calender system established by Typhrenian peoples and spread across the world during the Age of Conquest. The Months of the year are named after the twelve Gods of the Typhrenian peoples, whereas the five days of the week take their titles from the soldiers of the Typhrenian armies.

The Typhrenian system is particularly organised. The Typhrenian Empire prided itself on its order. As a result, the months each have thirty days, with Myrkoras as the only exception in order to place the five final days. Although the seasons gradually progress from one to another, the culture of the Typhrenian peoples, even to this day, states that once the new year begins on Pray Day 1 Tyru, it is spring. Each season lasts exactly three months, and winter holds the extra five days. Furthermore, to keep the calendar organised, the week is split into five days, allowing for a simple day-naming schedule.

## Days of the Week

### Pray Day

The first day of the week, Pray Day, is so named as the day of rest for the soldiers of the Typhrenian army. During this day soldiers would refrain from training, fast, and pray to each of the twelve holy Typhrenian Gods. In the Age of Thorn and since the fall of the Typhrenian Empire, the typhrenian peoples are not expected to pray to the Gods each Pray Day (Acolytes, Paladins, Clerics, and other religious positions have always been expected to pray every day). Instead, the first day of each month (which always lands on a Pray Day) is the holy day for the month's respective God.

For certain practices in Typhrenian culture, Pray Day remains the holy day off of the week.

### Feast Day

The second day of the week, Feast Day, is named after the breaking of the Pray Day fast. Although the soldiers were not expected to have a feast each Feast Day, they would be granted two portions of rations for the day to make up for their lack of food the previous day. As with the prayers of Pray Day, in the Age of Thorn, the practice of fasting has been forgotten. Therefore the feast of Feast Day remains in its name only. However, some feasts in the names of the Gods are organised on the 2nd day of the God's month, being the first Feast Day after their holy day.

### Moon Day and Sun Day

The third and fourth days of the week shift in tone. As opposing forces of day and night, the moon and the sun represent important ideas in Typhrenian culture, and position themselves as a strict binary. The Sun (masculine in the gendered Ancient Typrhenian language) was the most praised of the two in ancient Typhrenian culture whereas the Moon (feminine) was often seen as a source of mischief. As a result, when deciding upon the two middle days of the week, the Moon and the Sun were chosen. Moon Day comes first, after Feast Day, for from celebration comes mischief. Sun day falls after Moon Day to cleanse its sins before the soldier deserves their pay on Gold Day. No cleansing rituals are known to have been practiced during these days.

### Gold Day

The final day of the week, Gold Day comes from the payment of the soldiers at the end of the week. Despite the name, a soldier would receive one copper piece for their weekly service, not gold. This would have been worth much more than the copper during the Age of Thorn's inflation, however still not enough to live on. As the soldier's food and shelter were provided through rations and tents, this copper piece would go towards other needs. It is thought that as the captains of the army would recieve one gold piece, they would have been the ones to name the day.
