Old Roulean Calendar

[Septa Scarabae]

Time of Day and Months of the Year
Back in the world of Ispar, whence came the Aluvians, Gharu'ndim, and Sho, the great Empire of Roulea once spanned much of the land. Though Roulean influence has long since faded, the language now called "Old Roulean" has been taken up by traders of all nations. Here on Dereth, where the heritage groups have been thrown together in close proximity, Old Roulean has proven indispensable as a common tongue and measure of time.

Here is the Old Roulean system of measuring the hours of the day:

• (6 a.m. sunrise) Dawnsong
  
• (7:30 a.m.) Dawnsong-and-Half
  
• (9 a.m.) Morntide
  
• (10:30 a.m.) Morntide-and-Half
  
• (12 noon) Midsong
  
• (1:30 p.m.) Midsong-and-Half
  
• (3 p.m.) Warmtide
  
• (4:30 p.m.) Warmtide-and-Half
  
• (6 p.m.) Evensong
  
• (7:30 p.m.) Evensong-and-Half
  
• (9 p.m. sunset) Gloaming
  
• (10:30 p.m.) Gloaming-and-Half
  
• (12 midnight) Darktide
  
• (1:30 a.m.) Darktide-and-Half
  
• (3 a.m.) Foredawn
  
• (4:30 a.m.) Foredawn-and-Half

Here are the Old Roulean terms for the months of the year, and their English equivalents:

Spring:

• Morningthaw (April)
  
• Solclaim (May)
  
• Seedsow (June)

Summer:

• Leafdawning (July)
  
• Verdantine (August)
  
• Thistledown (September)

Autumn:

• Harvestgain (October)
  
• Leafcull (November)
  
• Frostfell (December)

Winter:

• Snowreap (January)
  
• Coldeve (February)
  
• Wintersebb (March)

Each Dereth day lasts 2 hours 7 mins.
Weeks are 6 days long, deriving from the old Roulean religion of the triumvirate Goddess.
Each month = 30 days (5 weeks)
12 months * 30 days = 360 days

Years are expressed in numbers dating from the time the humans finally escaped Olthoi slavery, and are expressed in the format "n P.Y.", where n is the number of the year, and P.Y. stands for Portal Year, the equivalent of our A.D. (except, of course, unlike A.D. it comes after the number and not before). It was 10 P.Y. when the game began.
