The year begins Hayrn 1st, which falls on the Northern Summer Solstice, which is also Midwinter Day. Arcanan years are now dated from the creation of the Union of Arcana, abbreviated YU for “Year of Union.”
Sharona:
The Ternathian calendar is used by virtually all of Sharona, although the Uromathian Empire has its own “official” calendar which is used internally (primarily in official documents). The names and length of the months are:
Vandiyahr 31 days
Noristahn 30 days
Valkar 31 days
Jumora 30 days
Erthanos 31 days
Maligair 31 days
Sorchala 30 days
Temisthian 31 days
Ternathal 30 days
Darikhal 31 days
Cormas 28 days* (29 days once every four years)
Fairsayla 31 days
The year begins from the date of the Northern Vernal Equinox.
The Ternathian calendar is also divided into PE and AE (Pre-Erthain and After-Erthain). The dividing point is the year tradition assigns to the first manifestation of Talent in the reign of Erthain the Great.

In The Road to Hell, section dates are given using the calendar of the people in the section. When both Arcanans and Sharonians appear in the same section, the first date given is for the first “nationality” in the chapter. For the benefit of the non-Arcanans and non-Sharonians in our readership, an “index date” using the Gregorian Calendar is also appended.
