Eimarin calendar

The Eimarin calendar was the calendar used by the Celestial Empire and its descendants.

## Basics

An Eimarin month lasts for 64 days. 64 months become a complete Eimarin year.

### Mortal calendars

To make things more convenient for mortals (who were unable to count and remember huge numbers as easily as the Celestials did), they celebrated a new year every fourth Eimarin year. The thirty-second day of each Eimarin month was a new month for mortals, so every mortal Eimarin year consisted of eight months of 32 days. In some worlds, 12-month years were used by the local mortals (6 Eimarin months), while others used 24-month years (12 Eimarin months, with a half-year celebration at the 6th Eimarin month). So every Celestial year was made of 128 mortal months, or 32 years.

### Conversion

If one were to use the Gregorian calendar to calculate Eimarin years, it would be to divide 4,096 (the number of days) by 365. This results in 11 years, 22 days.

If one were to divide it by the Novantirna magic calendar ... TBA
