Calendar and Time in the World of Thera

The fictitious world of Thera still has a year lasting 365 days. Each month consist several of three 10-day cycles instead of weeks. These are differentiated in numerical sequence from first to third. Each day is roughly twenty-four hours long.

In addition to the 12 months, the year is rounded out with five Festival Days that appear to be observed on the continent that contains Calpurnen, Tsartori, and Yemat. The Festival Days are independent of the calendar months and are tied to the agricultural cycles. Each year begins with the Festival of Waking and closes with the Festival of Rest.
