From Syra D&D Wiki

Revision as of 10:09, 25 February 2012

Syra's current calendar was created following the Elf Wars. It consists of twelve months, each named for a great hero who fell during the war. Each week has eight days, named for eight of the gods. The months are thirty days long, and sync up with Omiel's lunar cycle. The full moon is on the first of each month, and the new moon is on the sixteenth.

The days of the week are Corellonsday, Yondallasday, Ehlonnasday, Kordsday, Pelorsday, Boccobsday, Moradinsday, and Bahamutsday.

The months of the year are Adinar, Sebina, Acteus, Oberth, Hegasat, Tarliel, Nachtur, Urnaor, Esilcar, Leroit, Gedranh, and Adirnaan.
