The solar calendar used in the land of Donaille.
The modern Donellian calendar is derived, with minimal modification, from the Pelorite liturgical calender. It is a solar calendar, with twelve months of either 29, 31, or 34 to 36 days each, as follows:
- Barachis (31 days)
- Urozh (29 days)
- Domis (31 days)
- Ozim (29 days)
- Erathis (31 days)
- Sophis (31 days)
- Ayaz (29 days)
- Razim (31 days)
- Kar (29 days)
- Saelis (31 days)
- Yangyr (29 days)
- Zafiq (34 days)
Barachis begins approximately on the date of the autumnal equinox. Zafiq, the longest month, has one day added to it every seven years (making it 35 days long), and an additional day added to it every twenty-eight years (making it 36 days long).
The calendrical epoch used for Donellian records is called the Revealed Chronology (abbreviated “R.C.”), and begins in the year when the light of the Shining Lord was revealed to the first saints, bringing the land out of chaos and barbarism.
