The Calendar[edit]

There are twelve months on Grisaire, one for each of the throne gods. The months are divided into the Light and Dark months, to describe the changing cycles of the sun. During light months, the sun is bright and light is strong. These are equivalent to spring and summer. Dark months are characterized by waning light and cooler temperatures, like autumn and winter. The months are named after the gods as such as well:

Light Months

Hiu-oin (Orshiidi)
Tri-oin (Tribore)
Sen-oin (Manus Infinitum)
Igu-oin (Igu-Rab-Ichi)
Dara-oin (Darakan'ta)
Ur-oin (Tarekaya)

Dark Months

Cha-uin (Charylt)
Geru-uin (M'iaq)
Roshi-uin (Survelem)
On-uin (Ongana)
Phleg-uin (Plegothos)
Spir-uin (Spire Queen)

Every week is 10 days, and so an alternate name for a week is a tenday. However, the number of weeks per month differs as shown above. As the Light or Dark months approach their end, these months get an extended number of weeks to balance out the time for light and dark, called Balancing Lux. This change is not implemented all over Grisaire and many countries simply assign 4 weeks to each month, for a total of 48 weeks a year. A standard month can thus be called a forty-day.

Additional regional changes or adaptations to calendars or timekeeping exist. The lunar cycle of Grisaire is a rough approximation to measure 1-2 months' worth of time. Many on the Endix continent subscribe to how the two moons of Grisaire will appear once each before appearing together at the end of every two months or so. In places like Selif of Adum or the Barrya jungle of Khaire, where there are still sacred trees, the course of a day is kept by observing the tree as a natural obelisk, and the seasons are foretold by the change in the tree itself.
