<p>Ronnke: /* The 24-hour day */</p> <hr /> <div>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Calendar}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Calendar}}<br /> <br /> == The Calendar of the Four Turnings ==<br /> ''Standard civil calendar of Pelervar''<br /> <br /> Four hundred days turn through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Twelve days of Rest close the year before the cycle begins again.<br /> <br /> === Calendar at a Glance ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Month or Season<br /> !Common Season<br /> !Days<br /> !Role in the Year<br /> |-<br /> |Dawnrise<br /> |Spring<br /> |100<br /> |Growth, planting, reopened roads, and beginnings<br /> |-<br /> |Suncrest<br /> |Summer<br /> |100<br /> |Heat, sailing, travel, construction, and public life<br /> |-<br /> |Sunfall<br /> |Autumn<br /> |100<br /> |Harvest, accounting, preparation, and gathering in<br /> |-<br /> |Deepstill<br /> |Winter<br /> |100<br /> |Cold, repair, study, endurance, and closure<br /> |-<br /> |Rest<br /> |Year-end interlude<br /> |12<br /> |A holiday season outside the four months<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === The complete year ===<br /> Four 100-day months make 400 ordinary days. Each month contains ten Tendays, producing forty Tendays across the ordinary year. Rest adds one exceptional twelve-day week, producing a 412-day year. Every day contains 24 hours. The calendar requires no leap days or corrective years.<br /> <br /> === Structure of the Year ===<br /> The calendar year begins at midnight before Dawnrise 1 and ends at midnight after Rest 12. Each of the four principal months is also a season, so the words ''month'' and ''season'' are often interchangeable in ordinary speech.<br /> <br /> '''Dawnrise → Suncrest → Sunfall → Deepstill → Rest → Dawnrise'''<br /> <br /> Rest belongs to the year but to none of the months. It falls after winter and before spring. In colder lands it often coincides with thawing ground, swollen streams, bare trees, and the first subtle signs that Dawnrise is approaching.<br /> <br /> == The Four Months ==<br /> <br /> === Dawnrise | Spring · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Dawnrise opens the year. Temperatures begin to rise, new growth appears, rivers swell, roads reopen, and farms return to active work. It is the favoured month for beginnings: planting, apprenticeships, new contracts, household moves, and the first long journeys after winter.<br /> <br /> ==== First Turning ====<br /> On Dawnrise 1, rural households traditionally plant something before midday. The act may be as grand as sowing a field or as small as placing one seed beside a doorway.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Growth and renewal<br /> * Planting and preparation<br /> * New contracts and apprenticeships<br /> * Reopened roads and renewed travel<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''A Dawnrise promise is hopeful, but not yet tested.''<br /> <br /> === Suncrest | Summer · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Suncrest is the brightest and most active month of the year. It brings the longest settled weather, the busiest sea traffic, major markets, public festivals, and the height of construction. Armies and mercenary companies also favour it for campaigning, giving rise to the soldiers' name &quot;the Marching Hundred.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==== High Turning ====<br /> At the boundary between Dawnrise and Suncrest, lamps, harbour lights, and civic beacons are commonly allowed to burn late into the night.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Sailing and commerce<br /> * Travel and campaigning<br /> * Construction and public works<br /> * Courtship, festivals, and civic gatherings<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Suncrest work is urgent, public, and carried out at full effort.''<br /> <br /> === Sunfall | Autumn · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Sunfall is the month of harvest, reckoning, and preparation. Fields and orchards are gathered in, livestock is brought closer to shelter, preserved food fills markets, and merchant houses settle seasonal accounts. As the month advances, temperatures fall and storms become more frequent over the Zahari Passage.<br /> <br /> ==== Full Turning ====<br /> At the opening of Sunfall, it is customary to set aside the first portion of a harvest, profit, or completed work for those who helped produce it.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Harvest and preservation<br /> * Accounting and collected debts<br /> * Homecoming and shared labour<br /> * Storm preparation and winter stores<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Count it in Sunfall means that success is real only when the result can be measured.''<br /> <br /> === Deepstill | Winter · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Deepstill closes the four-month cycle. In colder regions it brings frost and snow; along the coasts it brings dangerous seas, heavy rain, and long periods when ships remain in harbour. Deepstill is not considered idle. It is the month of mending tools, recaulking ships, inspecting walls, copying records, preserving stores, and making deliberate decisions.<br /> <br /> ==== Last Turning ====<br /> The opening of Deepstill marks the point at which communities turn inward. Councils begin their longest deliberations, workshops shift from production to repair, and households take stock of what must last until the year closes.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Endurance and careful rationing<br /> * Repair, maintenance, and inspection<br /> * Study, record-keeping, and deliberation<br /> * Family obligations and preparation for Rest<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Deepstill patience is the ability to endure without becoming idle.''<br /> <br /> == Rest: The Twelve Days Outside the Months ==<br /> Rest is a short season of twelve days placed between Deepstill and Dawnrise. It is part of the 412-day year but belongs to none of the four months. It is treated as a single exceptional twelve-day week rather than a Tenday, and its dates are written simply as Rest 1 through Rest 12.<br /> <br /> Most ordinary labour slows or ceases during Rest. Markets keep reduced hours, courts hear only urgent matters, and many guild halls close their public doors. Harbour watches, healers, funerary workers, guards, and other essential services continue, commonly with additional pay or compensatory leave.<br /> <br /> === Customary protections during Rest ===<br /> <br /> * Debts are not collected during Rest.<br /> * Contracts do not expire during Rest.<br /> * Evictions and property seizures are suspended.<br /> * A deadline falling during Rest moves to Dawnrise 1.<br /> * No new military campaign should formally begin during Rest.<br /> <br /> These customs are not enforced identically in every realm or city, but violating them is widely regarded as greedy, dishonourable, or ominous.<br /> <br /> === The three observances of Rest ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Observance<br /> !Days<br /> !Purpose<br /> |-<br /> |The Letting<br /> |1–4<br /> |Burdens of the old year are released. Borrowed tools are returned, old notices are removed, broken objects are repaired or discarded, and disputes that can end without judgement are settled.<br /> |-<br /> |The Keeping<br /> |5–8<br /> |Households, friends, and communities gather. Practical gifts are exchanged, communal meals are held, and absent or deceased companions may be remembered. Rest 7 is traditionally the quietest day of the year.<br /> |-<br /> |The Waking<br /> |9–12<br /> |Attention turns toward the year ahead. Games, races, masked performances, and public feasts become common. On Rest 12, lamps are briefly extinguished at midnight and relit to welcome Dawnrise.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Restborn ===<br /> People born during the twelve-day holiday are sometimes called Restborn. Their birthdays are observed on their numbered Rest day rather than moved into one of the four months.<br /> <br /> == Tendays, Days, and Watches ==<br /> <br /> === The Tenday ===<br /> A Tenday is the standard civil unit of ten consecutive days. Each 100-day month contains exactly ten Tendays, giving the four ordinary months forty Tendays in total. The word ''week'' is rarely used for ordinary dates; in most of Pelervar, people simply say ''Tenday''.<br /> <br /> The ten named days repeat in the same order throughout every month. Because each month contains a whole number of Tendays, Dawnrise, Suncrest, Sunfall, and Deepstill always begin on Firstday and end on Lastday. A date may be spoken as &quot;Dawnrise 36&quot; or more formally as &quot;Highday of the Fourth Tenday of Dawnrise.&quot; Legal, mercantile, and historical records usually favour the numbered form.<br /> <br /> === The ten named days ===<br /> The day names are inherited calendar terms rather than instructions for work or worship. Their associations vary by culture, profession, and faith, and none is a universal holy day.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Order<br /> !Day<br /> !Common associations<br /> |-<br /> |1<br /> |Firstday<br /> |The opening day of every Tenday.<br /> |-<br /> |2<br /> |Moonday<br /> |Associated with the moon, night, tides, and old folk traditions.<br /> |-<br /> |3<br /> |Loreday<br /> |Associated with learning, memory, stories, and recorded knowledge.<br /> |-<br /> |4<br /> |Wayday<br /> |Associated with roads, journeys, fortune, and safe passage.<br /> |-<br /> |5<br /> |Shoreday<br /> |Associated with coasts, rivers, crossings, and the meeting of land and water.<br /> |-<br /> |6<br /> |Highday<br /> |Traditionally regarded as the high point of the Tenday; the name's older origin is disputed.<br /> |-<br /> |7<br /> |Ashday<br /> |Associated with fire, memory, destruction, mourning, and renewal.<br /> |-<br /> |8<br /> |Hollowday<br /> |Associated with silence, hidden places, absence, and things unseen.<br /> |-<br /> |9<br /> |Starday<br /> |Associated with the night sky, navigation, distant places, and omens.<br /> |-<br /> |10<br /> |Lastday<br /> |The closing day of every Tenday.<br /> |}<br /> The sequence is: '''Firstday · Moonday · Loreday · Wayday · Shoreday · Highday · Ashday · Hollowday · Starday · Lastday'''<br /> <br /> === Rest and the weekly cycle ===<br /> Rest is one exceptional twelve-day week rather than a Tenday. Its days are numbered Rest 1 through Rest 12 and do not carry the ordinary Tenday day names. The Tenday cycle ends on Lastday, Deepstill 100, and begins anew on Firstday, Dawnrise 1; Rest therefore causes no weekday drift from one year to the next.<br /> <br /> == The 24-hour day ==<br /> Every day contains 24 hours. Civic clocks number the hours in the usual manner, while guards, sailors, and travellers often divide the day into eight watches of three hours each.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Watch (Hour)<br /> !Name<br /> !Watch (Hour)<br /> !Name<br /> |-<br /> |1, (00:00 H)<br /> |Deep Dark<br /> |5, (12:00 H)<br /> |High Sun<br /> |-<br /> |2, (03:00 H)<br /> |Beforelight<br /> |6, (15:00 H)<br /> |Falling<br /> |-<br /> |3, (06:00 H)<br /> |Dawning<br /> |7, (18:00 H)<br /> |Evening<br /> |-<br /> |4, (09:00 H)<br /> |Morning<br /> |8, (21:00 H)<br /> |First Dark<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Writing and Speaking Dates ==<br /> The standard Free Cities form places the day before the month when written formally.

Merchants, courts, guilds, armies, farmers, and sailors use the same structure, although local customs differ.<br /> <br /> Followers of Calleth give special religious importance to the boundaries between the four months, observing them as seasonal Turnings. Other faiths place their own holy days within the calendar without controlling its month names or structure. The midnight relighting at the end of Rest is likewise a civic tradition, even though individual temples interpret it according to their own teachings.<br /> <br /> == Common Calendar Expressions ==<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Expression<br /> !Meaning<br /> |-<br /> |A Dawnrise promise<br /> |A hopeful undertaking whose difficulty has not yet been tested.<br /> |-<br /> |Suncrest work<br /> |Labour performed quickly, publicly, or under intense pressure.<br /> |-<br /> |Count it in Sunfall<br /> |Do not claim success until the result can be measured.<br /> |-<br /> |Deepstill patience<br /> |The ability to endure without becoming idle.<br /> |-<br /> |It can wait for Rest<br /> |The matter should be set aside rather than allowed to become a lasting quarrel.<br /> |-<br /> |Rest ends all excuses<br /> |Once Dawnrise begins, delayed obligations must be faced again.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Quick Reference ==<br /> <br /> === Annual cycle ===<br /> Dawnrise (Spring, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Suncrest (Summer, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Sunfall (Autumn, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Deepstill (Winter, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Rest (one exceptional 12-day week).<br /> <br /> '''Total: 412 days.'''<br /> <br /> === Day-of-year ranges ===<br /> For record-keepers who number every day of the year consecutively, the months occupy the following ranges.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Month or Season<br /> !Calendar Days<br /> !Days of the Year<br /> |-<br /> |Dawnrise<br /> |1–100<br /> |1–100<br /> |-<br /> |Suncrest<br /> |1–100<br /> |101–200<br /> |-<br /> |Sunfall<br /> |1–100<br /> |201–300<br /> |-<br /> |Deepstill<br /> |1–100<br /> |301–400<br /> |-<br /> |Rest<br /> |1–12<br /> |401–412<br /> |}<br /> <br /> [[index.php?title=Category:Pelervar]]</div>

Twelve days of Rest close the year before the cycle begins again.<br /> <br /> === Calendar at a Glance ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Month or Season<br /> !Common Season<br /> !Days<br /> !Role in the Year<br /> |-<br /> |Dawnrise<br /> |Spring<br /> |100<br /> |Growth, planting, reopened roads, and beginnings<br /> |-<br /> |Suncrest<br /> |Summer<br /> |100<br /> |Heat, sailing, travel, construction, and public life<br /> |-<br /> |Sunfall<br /> |Autumn<br /> |100<br /> |Harvest, accounting, preparation, and gathering in<br /> |-<br /> |Deepstill<br /> |Winter<br /> |100<br /> |Cold, repair, study, endurance, and closure<br /> |-<br /> |Rest<br /> |Year-end interlude<br /> |12<br /> |A holiday season outside the four months<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === The complete year ===<br /> Four 100-day months make 400 ordinary days. Each month contains ten Tendays, producing forty Tendays across the ordinary year. Rest adds one exceptional twelve-day week, producing a 412-day year. Every day contains 24 hours. The calendar requires no leap days or corrective years.<br /> <br /> === Structure of the Year ===<br /> The calendar year begins at midnight before Dawnrise 1 and ends at midnight after Rest 12. Each of the four principal months is also a season, so the words ''month'' and ''season'' are often interchangeable in ordinary speech.<br /> <br /> '''Dawnrise → Suncrest → Sunfall → Deepstill → Rest → Dawnrise'''<br /> <br /> Rest belongs to the year but to none of the months. It falls after winter and before spring. In colder lands it often coincides with thawing ground, swollen streams, bare trees, and the first subtle signs that Dawnrise is approaching.<br /> <br /> == The Four Months ==<br /> <br /> === Dawnrise | Spring · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Dawnrise opens the year. Temperatures begin to rise, new growth appears, rivers swell, roads reopen, and farms return to active work. It is the favoured month for beginnings: planting, apprenticeships, new contracts, household moves, and the first long journeys after winter.<br /> <br /> ==== First Turning ====<br /> On Dawnrise 1, rural households traditionally plant something before midday. The act may be as grand as sowing a field or as small as placing one seed beside a doorway.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Growth and renewal<br /> * Planting and preparation<br /> * New contracts and apprenticeships<br /> * Reopened roads and renewed travel<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''A Dawnrise promise is hopeful, but not yet tested.''<br /> <br /> === Suncrest | Summer · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Suncrest is the brightest and most active month of the year. It brings the longest settled weather, the busiest sea traffic, major markets, public festivals, and the height of construction. Armies and mercenary companies also favour it for campaigning, giving rise to the soldiers' name &quot;the Marching Hundred.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==== High Turning ====<br /> At the boundary between Dawnrise and Suncrest, lamps, harbour lights, and civic beacons are commonly allowed to burn late into the night.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Sailing and commerce<br /> * Travel and campaigning<br /> * Construction and public works<br /> * Courtship, festivals, and civic gatherings<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Suncrest work is urgent, public, and carried out at full effort.''<br /> <br /> === Sunfall | Autumn · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Sunfall is the month of harvest, reckoning, and preparation. Fields and orchards are gathered in, livestock is brought closer to shelter, preserved food fills markets, and merchant houses settle seasonal accounts. As the month advances, temperatures fall and storms become more frequent over the Zahari Passage.<br /> <br /> ==== Full Turning ====<br /> At the opening of Sunfall, it is customary to set aside the first portion of a harvest, profit, or completed work for those who helped produce it.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Harvest and preservation<br /> * Accounting and collected debts<br /> * Homecoming and shared labour<br /> * Storm preparation and winter stores<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Count it in Sunfall means that success is real only when the result can be measured.''<br /> <br /> === Deepstill | Winter · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Deepstill closes the four-month cycle. In colder regions it brings frost and snow; along the coasts it brings dangerous seas, heavy rain, and long periods when ships remain in harbour. Deepstill is not considered idle. It is the month of mending tools, recaulking ships, inspecting walls, copying records, preserving stores, and making deliberate decisions.<br /> <br /> ==== Last Turning ====<br /> The opening of Deepstill marks the point at which communities turn inward. Councils begin their longest deliberations, workshops shift from production to repair, and households take stock of what must last until the year closes.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Endurance and careful rationing<br /> * Repair, maintenance, and inspection<br /> * Study, record-keeping, and deliberation<br /> * Family obligations and preparation for Rest<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Deepstill patience is the ability to endure without becoming idle.''<br /> <br /> == Rest: The Twelve Days Outside the Months ==<br /> Rest is a short season of twelve days placed between Deepstill and Dawnrise. It is part of the 412-day year but belongs to none of the four months. It is treated as a single exceptional twelve-day week rather than a Tenday, and its dates are written simply as Rest 1 through Rest 12.<br /> <br /> Most ordinary labour slows or ceases during Rest. Markets keep reduced hours, courts hear only urgent matters, and many guild halls close their public doors. Harbour watches, healers, funerary workers, guards, and other essential services continue, commonly with additional pay or compensatory leave.<br /> <br /> === Customary protections during Rest ===<br /> <br /> * Debts are not collected during Rest.<br /> * Contracts do not expire during Rest.<br /> * Evictions and property seizures are suspended.<br /> * A deadline falling during Rest moves to Dawnrise 1.<br /> * No new military campaign should formally begin during Rest.<br /> <br /> These customs are not enforced identically in every realm or city, but violating them is widely regarded as greedy, dishonourable, or ominous.<br /> <br /> === The three observances of Rest ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Observance<br /> !Days<br /> !Purpose<br /> |-<br /> |The Letting<br /> |1–4<br /> |Burdens of the old year are released. Borrowed tools are returned, old notices are removed, broken objects are repaired or discarded, and disputes that can end without judgement are settled.<br /> |-<br /> |The Keeping<br /> |5–8<br /> |Households, friends, and communities gather.

Games, races, masked performances, and public feasts become common. On Rest 12, lamps are briefly extinguished at midnight and relit to welcome Dawnrise.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Restborn ===<br /> People born during the twelve-day holiday are sometimes called Restborn. Their birthdays are observed on their numbered Rest day rather than moved into one of the four months.<br /> <br /> == Tendays, Days, and Watches ==<br /> <br /> === The Tenday ===<br /> A Tenday is the standard civil unit of ten consecutive days. Each 100-day month contains exactly ten Tendays, giving the four ordinary months forty Tendays in total. The word ''week'' is rarely used for ordinary dates; in most of Pelervar, people simply say ''Tenday''.<br /> <br /> The ten named days repeat in the same order throughout every month. Because each month contains a whole number of Tendays, Dawnrise, Suncrest, Sunfall, and Deepstill always begin on Firstday and end on Lastday. A date may be spoken as &quot;Dawnrise 36&quot; or more formally as &quot;Highday of the Fourth Tenday of Dawnrise.&quot; Legal, mercantile, and historical records usually favour the numbered form.<br /> <br /> === The ten named days ===<br /> The day names are inherited calendar terms rather than instructions for work or worship. Their associations vary by culture, profession, and faith, and none is a universal holy day.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Order<br /> !Day<br /> !Common associations<br /> |-<br /> |1<br /> |Firstday<br /> |The opening day of every Tenday.<br /> |-<br /> |2<br /> |Moonday<br /> |Associated with the moon, night, tides, and old folk traditions.<br /> |-<br /> |3<br /> |Loreday<br /> |Associated with learning, memory, stories, and recorded knowledge.<br /> |-<br /> |4<br /> |Wayday<br /> |Associated with roads, journeys, fortune, and safe passage.<br /> |-<br /> |5<br /> |Shoreday<br /> |Associated with coasts, rivers, crossings, and the meeting of land and water.<br /> |-<br /> |6<br /> |Highday<br /> |Traditionally regarded as the high point of the Tenday; the name's older origin is disputed.<br /> |-<br /> |7<br /> |Ashday<br /> |Associated with fire, memory, destruction, mourning, and renewal.<br /> |-<br /> |8<br /> |Hollowday<br /> |Associated with silence, hidden places, absence, and things unseen.<br /> |-<br /> |9<br /> |Starday<br /> |Associated with the night sky, navigation, distant places, and omens.<br /> |-<br /> |10<br /> |Lastday<br /> |The closing day of every Tenday.<br /> |}<br /> The sequence is: '''Firstday · Moonday · Loreday · Wayday · Shoreday · Highday · Ashday · Hollowday · Starday · Lastday'''<br /> <br /> === Rest and the weekly cycle ===<br /> Rest is one exceptional twelve-day week rather than a Tenday. Its days are numbered Rest 1 through Rest 12 and do not carry the ordinary Tenday day names. The Tenday cycle ends on Lastday, Deepstill 100, and begins anew on Firstday, Dawnrise 1; Rest therefore causes no weekday drift from one year to the next.<br /> <br /> == The 24-hour day ==<br /> Every day contains 24 hours. Civic clocks number the hours in the usual manner, while guards, sailors, and travellers often divide the day into eight watches of three hours each.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Watch<br /> !Name<br /> !Watch<br /> !Name<br /> |-<br /> |1<br /> |Beforelight<br /> |5<br /> |Falling<br /> |-<br /> |2<br /> |Dawning<br /> |6<br /> |Evening<br /> |-<br /> |3<br /> |Morning<br /> |7<br /> |First Dark<br /> |-<br /> |4<br /> |High Sun<br /> |8<br /> |Deep Dark<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Writing and Speaking Dates ==<br /> The standard Free Cities form places the day before the month when written formally.

Other faiths place their own holy days within the calendar without controlling its month names or structure.

Twelve days of Rest close the year before the cycle begins again.<br /> <br /> === Calendar at a Glance ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Month or Season<br /> !Common Season<br /> !Days<br /> !Role in the Year<br /> |-<br /> |Dawnrise<br /> |Spring<br /> |100<br /> |Growth, planting, reopened roads, and beginnings<br /> |-<br /> |Suncrest<br /> |Summer<br /> |100<br /> |Heat, sailing, travel, construction, and public life<br /> |-<br /> |Sunfall<br /> |Autumn<br /> |100<br /> |Harvest, accounting, preparation, and gathering in<br /> |-<br /> |Deepstill<br /> |Winter<br /> |100<br /> |Cold, repair, study, endurance, and closure<br /> |-<br /> |Rest<br /> |Year-end interlude<br /> |12<br /> |A holiday season outside the four months<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === The complete year ===<br /> Four 100-day months make 400 ordinary days. Each month contains ten Tendays, producing forty Tendays across the ordinary year. Rest adds one exceptional twelve-day week, producing a 412-day year. Every day contains 24 hours. The calendar requires no leap days or corrective years.<br /> <br /> === Structure of the Year ===<br /> The calendar year begins at midnight before Dawnrise 1 and ends at midnight after Rest 12. Each of the four principal months is also a season, so the words ''month'' and ''season'' are often interchangeable in ordinary speech.<br /> <br /> '''Dawnrise → Suncrest → Sunfall → Deepstill → Rest → Dawnrise'''<br /> <br /> Rest belongs to the year but to none of the months. It falls after winter and before spring. In colder lands it often coincides with thawing ground, swollen streams, bare trees, and the first subtle signs that Dawnrise is approaching.<br /> <br /> == The Four Months ==<br /> <br /> === Dawnrise | Spring · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Dawnrise opens the year. Temperatures begin to rise, new growth appears, rivers swell, roads reopen, and farms return to active work. It is the favoured month for beginnings: planting, apprenticeships, new contracts, household moves, and the first long journeys after winter.<br /> <br /> ==== First Turning ====<br /> On Dawnrise 1, rural households traditionally plant something before midday. The act may be as grand as sowing a field or as small as placing one seed beside a doorway.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Growth and renewal<br /> * Planting and preparation<br /> * New contracts and apprenticeships<br /> * Reopened roads and renewed travel<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''A Dawnrise promise is hopeful, but not yet tested.''<br /> <br /> === Suncrest | Summer · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Suncrest is the brightest and most active month of the year. It brings the longest settled weather, the busiest sea traffic, major markets, public festivals, and the height of construction. Armies and mercenary companies also favour it for campaigning, giving rise to the soldiers' name &quot;the Marching Hundred.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==== High Turning ====<br /> At the boundary between Dawnrise and Suncrest, lamps, harbour lights, and civic beacons are commonly allowed to burn late into the night.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Sailing and commerce<br /> * Travel and campaigning<br /> * Construction and public works<br /> * Courtship, festivals, and civic gatherings<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Suncrest work is urgent, public, and carried out at full effort.''<br /> <br /> === Sunfall | Autumn · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Sunfall is the month of harvest, reckoning, and preparation. Fields and orchards are gathered in, livestock is brought closer to shelter, preserved food fills markets, and merchant houses settle seasonal accounts. As the month advances, temperatures fall and storms become more frequent over the Zahari Passage.<br /> <br /> ==== Full Turning ====<br /> At the opening of Sunfall, it is customary to set aside the first portion of a harvest, profit, or completed work for those who helped produce it.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Harvest and preservation<br /> * Accounting and collected debts<br /> * Homecoming and shared labour<br /> * Storm preparation and winter stores<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Count it in Sunfall means that success is real only when the result can be measured.''<br /> <br /> === Deepstill | Winter · Days 1–100 ===<br /> Deepstill closes the four-month cycle. In colder regions it brings frost and snow; along the coasts it brings dangerous seas, heavy rain, and long periods when ships remain in harbour. Deepstill is not considered idle. It is the month of mending tools, recaulking ships, inspecting walls, copying records, preserving stores, and making deliberate decisions.<br /> <br /> ==== Last Turning ====<br /> The opening of Deepstill marks the point at which communities turn inward. Councils begin their longest deliberations, workshops shift from production to repair, and households take stock of what must last until the year closes.<br /> <br /> '''Common associations'''<br /> <br /> * Endurance and careful rationing<br /> * Repair, maintenance, and inspection<br /> * Study, record-keeping, and deliberation<br /> * Family obligations and preparation for Rest<br /> <br /> '''Common saying:''' ''Deepstill patience is the ability to endure without becoming idle.''<br /> <br /> == Rest: The Twelve Days Outside the Months ==<br /> Rest is a short season of twelve days placed between Deepstill and Dawnrise. It is part of the 412-day year but belongs to none of the four months. It is treated as a single exceptional twelve-day week rather than a Tenday, and its dates are written simply as Rest 1 through Rest 12.<br /> <br /> Most ordinary labour slows or ceases during Rest. Markets keep reduced hours, courts hear only urgent matters, and many guild halls close their public doors. Harbour watches, healers, funerary workers, guards, and other essential services continue, commonly with additional pay or compensatory leave.<br /> <br /> === Customary protections during Rest ===<br /> <br /> * Debts are not collected during Rest.<br /> * Contracts do not expire during Rest.<br /> * Evictions and property seizures are suspended.<br /> * A deadline falling during Rest moves to Dawnrise 1.<br /> * No new military campaign should formally begin during Rest.<br /> <br /> These customs are not enforced identically in every realm or city, but violating them is widely regarded as greedy, dishonourable, or ominous.<br /> <br /> === The three observances of Rest ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Observance<br /> !Days<br /> !Purpose<br /> |-<br /> |The Letting<br /> |1–4<br /> |Burdens of the old year are released. Borrowed tools are returned, old notices are removed, broken objects are repaired or discarded, and disputes that can end without judgement are settled.<br /> |-<br /> |The Keeping<br /> |5–8<br /> |Households, friends, and communities gather. Practical gifts are exchanged, communal meals are held, and absent or deceased companions may be remembered. Rest 7 is traditionally the quietest day of the year.<br /> |-<br /> |The Waking<br /> |9–12<br /> |Attention turns toward the year ahead. Games, races, masked performances, and public feasts become common. On Rest 12, lamps are briefly extinguished at midnight and relit to welcome Dawnrise.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Restborn ===<br /> People born during the twelve-day holiday are sometimes called Restborn. Their birthdays are observed on their numbered Rest day rather than moved into one of the four months.<br /> <br /> == Tendays, Days, and Watches ==<br /> <br /> === The Tenday ===<br /> A Tenday is the standard civil unit of ten consecutive days. Each 100-day month contains exactly ten Tendays, giving the four ordinary months forty Tendays in total. The word ''week'' is rarely used for ordinary dates; in most of Pelervar, people simply say ''Tenday''.<br /> <br /> The ten named days repeat in the same order throughout every month. Because each month contains a whole number of Tendays, Dawnrise, Suncrest, Sunfall, and Deepstill always begin on Firstday and end on Lastday. A date may be spoken as &quot;Dawnrise 36&quot; or more formally as &quot;Highday of the Fourth Tenday of Dawnrise.&quot; Legal, mercantile, and historical records usually favour the numbered form.<br /> <br /> === The ten named days ===<br /> The day names are inherited calendar terms rather than instructions for work or worship. Their associations vary by culture, profession, and faith, and none is a universal holy day.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Order<br /> !Day<br /> !Common associations<br /> |-<br /> |1<br /> |Firstday<br /> |The opening day of every Tenday.<br /> |-<br /> |2<br /> |Moonday<br /> |Associated with the moon, night, tides, and old folk traditions.<br /> |-<br /> |3<br /> |Loreday<br /> |Associated with learning, memory, stories, and recorded knowledge.<br /> |-<br /> |4<br /> |Wayday<br /> |Associated with roads, journeys, fortune, and safe passage.<br /> |-<br /> |5<br /> |Shoreday<br /> |Associated with coasts, rivers, crossings, and the meeting of land and water.<br /> |-<br /> |6<br /> |Highday<br /> |Traditionally regarded as the high point of the Tenday; the name's older origin is disputed.<br /> |-<br /> |7<br /> |Ashday<br /> |Associated with fire, memory, destruction, mourning, and renewal.<br /> |-<br /> |8<br /> |Hollowday<br /> |Associated with silence, hidden places, absence, and things unseen.<br /> |-<br /> |9<br /> |Starday<br /> |Associated with the night sky, navigation, distant places, and omens.<br /> |-<br /> |10<br /> |Lastday<br /> |The closing day of every Tenday.<br /> |}<br /> The sequence is: '''Firstday · Moonday · Loreday · Wayday · Shoreday · Highday · Ashday · Hollowday · Starday · Lastday'''<br /> <br /> === Rest and the weekly cycle ===<br /> Rest is one exceptional twelve-day week rather than a Tenday. Its days are numbered Rest 1 through Rest 12 and do not carry the ordinary Tenday day names. The Tenday cycle ends on Lastday, Deepstill 100, and begins anew on Firstday, Dawnrise 1; Rest therefore causes no weekday drift from one year to the next.<br /> <br /> == The 24-hour day ==<br /> Every day contains 24 hours. Civic clocks number the hours in the usual manner, while guards, sailors, and travellers often divide the day into eight watches of three hours each.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Watch<br /> !Name<br /> !Watch<br /> !Name<br /> |-<br /> |1<br /> |Beforelight<br /> |5<br /> |Falling<br /> |-<br /> |2<br /> |Dawning<br /> |6<br /> |Evening<br /> |-<br /> |3<br /> |Morning<br /> |7<br /> |First Dark<br /> |-<br /> |4<br /> |High Sun<br /> |8<br /> |Deep Dark<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Writing and Speaking Dates ==<br /> The standard Free Cities form places the day before the month when written formally. In casual speech, either order may be heard.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Example<br /> !Meaning<br /> |-<br /> |43 Sunfall, Year 286<br /> |A formal date during an ordinary month.<br /> |-<br /> |Rest 8, Year 286<br /> |A formal date during the year-end holiday.<br /> |-<br /> |12 Deepstill<br /> |A shortened date when the year is understood.<br /> |-<br /> |Fourth Tenday of Suncrest<br /> |A broad period rather than a precise day.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Cultural and Religious Use ==<br /> The Calendar of the Four Turnings is a civil calendar rather than the property of a single faith. Merchants, courts, guilds, armies, farmers, and sailors use the same structure, although local customs differ.<br /> <br /> Followers of Calleth give special religious importance to the boundaries between the four months, observing them as seasonal Turnings. Other faiths place their own holy days within the calendar without controlling its month names or structure. The midnight relighting at the end of Rest is likewise a civic tradition, even though individual temples interpret it according to their own teachings.<br /> <br /> == Common Calendar Expressions ==<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Expression<br /> !Meaning<br /> |-<br /> |A Dawnrise promise<br /> |A hopeful undertaking whose difficulty has not yet been tested.<br /> |-<br /> |Suncrest work<br /> |Labour performed quickly, publicly, or under intense pressure.<br /> |-<br /> |Count it in Sunfall<br /> |Do not claim success until the result can be measured.<br /> |-<br /> |Deepstill patience<br /> |The ability to endure without becoming idle.<br /> |-<br /> |It can wait for Rest<br /> |The matter should be set aside rather than allowed to become a lasting quarrel.<br /> |-<br /> |Rest ends all excuses<br /> |Once Dawnrise begins, delayed obligations must be faced again.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Quick Reference ==<br /> <br /> === Annual cycle ===<br /> Dawnrise (Spring, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Suncrest (Summer, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Sunfall (Autumn, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Deepstill (Winter, 100 days / 10 Tendays) → Rest (one exceptional 12-day week).<br /> <br /> '''Total: 412 days.'''<br /> <br /> === Day-of-year ranges ===<br /> For record-keepers who number every day of the year consecutively, the months occupy the following ranges.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !Month or Season<br /> !Calendar Days<br /> !Days of the Year<br /> |-<br /> |Dawnrise<br /> |1–100<br /> |1–100<br /> |-<br /> |Suncrest<br /> |1–100<br /> |101–200<br /> |-<br /> |Sunfall<br /> |1–100<br /> |201–300<br /> |-<br /> |Deepstill<br /> |1–100<br /> |301–400<br /> |-<br /> |Rest<br /> |1–12<br /> |401–412<br /> |}</div>

He simply ensures they surface — always at the worst possible moment, in the manner most true to what was hidden. Merchants pray to him before signing contracts; spies pray to him before going silent; the guilty pray to him most of all.<br /> <br /> He has no morality, only accounting. He does not care whether a secret is virtuous or wicked, only that it exists and will one day be known. His clerics are the most uncomfortable people in any room — not because they are cruel, but because they are honest in a world that prefers otherwise.<br /> <br /> == The Quiet Ledger ==<br /> ''Loosely organised; Vrael is often paired with [[Pelervar/Ossara|Ossara]] by followers.'' The faith has no temples, only '''[[Pelervar/Glossary#Registry|registries]]''': buildings resembling notary offices, staffed by clerics who record oaths, witness contracts, and keep sealed archives of voluntary confessions. An archive is never opened in the lifetime of the person who submitted it — but after death it is read aloud at the funeral, by law, before the family. The chief act of worship is the '''Ledger Confession''', a single secret written, sealed, and submitted each year; the faithful also swear the '''Opened Eye''', a personal oath never to deny the truth of something they witnessed. Clerics dress as ordinary citizens — no robes, no rites, no ceremony.<br /> <br /> There is a quiet mutual respect between Quiet Ledger registrars and the dwarven debt-keepers of [[Pelervar/Durroch|Durroch]], and the Ledger's registrars witness the oaths of the [[Pelervar/The Iron Scales Assembly|Iron Scales Assembly]] and the [[Pelervar/The Watchers Guild|Watchers Guild]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pelervar/Gods]]<br /> [[Category:Pelervar/Free Cities Region]]<br /> </div>
