Calendar

From Syra D&D Wiki

Current revision as of 00:38, 18 September 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 Corlsday, Yonday, Ehloday, Korsday, Pelsday, Cobsday, Moraday, and Bahamusday.

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

Spring begins on the 16th of Sebina, Summer on the 16th of Hegast, Autumn on the 16th or Urnaor, and Winter on the 16th of Gedranh.

Timeline

A rough timeline of important events:

Year -15

• Lolth corrupts the first elves into drow. This is generally considered to be the beginning of the Elf Wars.

Year -3

• The Feywild becomes disjointed from the Material Plane.

Year 0

• With the help of Boccob, Corellon Larethian magically seals Lolth and the drow in Doth'Candorun, bringing an end to the Elf Wars.

Year 1367

• The last of the southern city-states are conquered by the Empire of Estorium.

Year 1632

• Boccob grants a crystalline artifact to the priests at the Temple of the Mind's Eye in Derenath. An order of priests known as the Kaorti is created to study it and learn its secrets. Calling it the Tear of Boccob, their research leads to many wonderful discoveries, ushering in an age of magical prosperity of Estorium.

Year 2096

• The dragon Sinianth becomes a dracolich. He is destroyed by a combined force of metallic and chromatic dragons, but his phylactery is never found.
