Years[edit | edit source]
Common Era (CE/BCE)[edit | edit source]
The most well-established calendar internationally, used throughout the Western World and many other non-western nations. Both the Atraelic and Amulndian calendars have used the system for centuries, long before the westernisation of other nations, and regard the "Common Era" as the years following the fall of the ancient Amulndian Empire.
This calendar's current year is 1901 CE.
Soziti Era (SE/BSE)[edit | edit source]
An ancient calendar used almost exclusively by the Soziti nation of Variyako and their Neiran client states. After being introduced to Xhequan province of Sepercy following the Variyako occupation in 1400, it would latterly be adopted by the Sepercist League as their official calendar system, putting them at odds with Xhequan government in Kiros. Following the dissolution of the league, many of its former holdings adopted the Atraelic calendar.
This calendar's current year is 2079 SE.
Year of the Empire (YE/BYE)[edit | edit source]
Suspected to have originated during the Anyuka Dynasty's reign of the Seonmi Empire, the first written evidence of the date system places the date at "the three thousand one hundredth and sixty-second year of the empire", corresponding with the 11th Century BCE of the Atraelish Calendar. In a contemporary context, the Seonmi calendar is used by Saeyri and several former vassal states of the empire. It is suspected that, due to inconsistencies in date keeping during the 2nd Century CE, that the Seonmi calendar was brought in line to be precisely 4200 years ahead of the Atraelish calendar, and that previously the dating system matched up more accurately with a discrepancy of 4159 years. This point remains a point of contention between Atraelish, Amulndian and Seonmi scholars.
This calendar's current year is 6101 YE.

The Atraelic, Amulndian and Seonmi calendars are organised into 12 months in a year of 365.25 days. Months are 30 days long, with leap months being 21 days.
The months of the Atraelic calendar are named in accordance to the seasons of northern Cymlun and traditional festivals and occurences in production. The Amulndian calendar's months are named to honour thirteen of the Saints of Astralism. The Seonmi calendar's months are named after various symbols of Seonmi national identity, including the Seony, Kuosoy and Anyuka flowers, the figures of legend Gemgun, Laisa, Xau, Oizane, Bakofan, and the seasonal festivals of Hoiku (Worship), Gozhiu (Family), Kobathe (Charity), Shinra (Death), Gau (Harvest).
The Atraelic and Amulndian sequence of classic and leap years is organised as Lccc, organised in a four-year cycle of 1461 days. Both calendars are arithmetical, with the occurrence of leap years occurring fixed intervals. The Seonmi calendar has traditionally been tracked in accordance to the movement of stars, however in the past two centuries it has been reformed into an arithmetical calendar, with the placement of leap years modelled off the western calendars.
Below is a table showing classic and leap years for all three calendars from 1871-1945 CE.

Both the Yashurhieli and Variyakoi calendars consist of 12 months in a year of 354 days. The Yashurhieli months are tropical months, with one month equating to the average time for the Moon to pass twice through the same equinox point of the sky, averaging to 27.32158 days. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, they can be measured precisely. The Variyakoi months are synodic, with their length defined by the interval between two consecutive occurrences of a particular lunar phase, with the Variyakoi phase being a new. Months average to around 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 2.8 seconds, and vary by up to even seven hours due to the eccentric orbit of the Moon around Earth.
Variyakoi months are named to mark the yearly occurrences and the month-to-month practices of traditional worshippers of Soziti, them being Anvah'haćy (New year), Načme'haćy (Political decision), Sulaweya'haćy (Peace), Salisuuča'haćy (Art), Naja'ǩe'haćy (Martial pursuit), Ǩu'haćy (Death and rebirth), Vihola'haćy (Charity), Ba'reǩe'haćy (Public speaking), Šanifi'haćy (Food), Sawawi'haćy (Hospice), Dežoj'haćy (Learning), and Uiačaǩah'haćy (Truth and clarity).
