Calendar

Creation has 5 seasons, each comprised of 3 28-days long months, followed by a period of 5 days known as Calibration.

Seasons and Months
The first season of the year is associated with the First House Clan.

The second season is associated with the Iron Crane Clan.

The third season is associated with the Jade Lion Clan.

The fourth season is associated with Void Monkey Clan.

The last season of the year is associated with the Ember Wolf Clan. Calibration, neither a season or a month, is not associated with any Clan, House or group. However, a growing trend among the common folk sees Calibration associated with the Invisibles. This disquiets many among the elders of the Land, who have seen what even the littlest acknowledgement of an Invisible can lead to.

Name of the Months
In Gozeiki no Bano Kami Kantaro, each season bears the name of one of the Clans. The traditional naming scheme has the first month of a season named "clan" Ascending, the secong month "clan" Resplendent and the third month "clan" Descending.

King-Kami Buruke, a proud king, could not bear to have a whole month of the year named by his Clan's namesake "descending". He had the calendar changed and modernized, using the names of each noble House, devoid of any moniker, as the name of the months.

The new names were widely adopted by the younger generations, but elders were generaly attached to the traditional names. King-Kami Buruke was enraged at the affront to his authority, but the point became moot with his passing; King-Kami Baroko, his successor, was eager to make allies of the elders and never enforced to changes. With the Yogi no Baloo Massacre, most of the Void Monkeys, young and old, have reverted to using the traditional names of the months to avoid the reminder of the event.

Days of the Week
Each month is made of 4 7-day weeks. The first day of the week is called Firstday, with the following days being Ironday, Jadeday, Voidday, Emberday. Kingday and Kamiday.
