Solem'cleavu Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Having been in use since the founding of this nation the Calendar used by Vashtalia is by far one of the oldest in existence and is most assuredly the oldest calendar still in use today even if it is only used by our nation. To start off the major difference one would notice between the Vashtalian Calendar and the calendar in use by the human nations, as in the nations founded by humans, is that our calendar only has 10 months while the human calendar has 12. In addition our months have different names as well as the notable lack of individual names for each day of the week. For example where someone from say one of the Rhydinian Alliance Nations might say Monday, January 1st of whatever year that the 1st day of January falls on that particular day of the week we Vashtalians would say Day 1 of the Month of Vakil in whatever year we are referring to. As for the names of the months we Vashtalians had named the months after 10 of the original 11 Great Dragons that had a hand in breathing life into the flow of mana of this world. Those dragons being: Earth Dragon Vakil Air Dragon Cerul Fire Dragon Sakilun Gold Dragon Berinin Gold Dragon Tilan Void Dragon Veria Fire Dragon Asmod Black Dragon Malik Black Dragon Lavinu Water Dragon Nelvana As a result of the fewer months it should be noted that the first 5 months of the Vashtalian Year have 36 days to each month while the latter five months have 37 days. In either case each Vashtalian Week is also split into 8 days instead of the 7 days weeks that the humans' calendar has. For those who are just curious enough I am also placing a guide below that shows on what days of the year on the Humans' calendar the 1st days of each of our months lands on. Day 1 Month of Vakil - January 1stDay 32 Month of Vakil - February 1stDay 24 Month of Cerul - March 1stDay 19 Month of Sakilun - April 1stDay 13 Month of Berinin - May 1stDay 8 Month of Tilan - June 1stDay 2 Month of Veren - July 1stDay 33 Month of Veren - August 1stDay 27 Month of Asmod - September 1stDay 20 Month of Malik - October 1stDay 14 Month of Lavinu - November 1stDay 7 Month of Nelvana - December 1st Anyway I believe that just about does it for the explanation of our calendar system.
