Calendar

The planet of Virana is roughly Earth-sized and follows a similar orbit. As a result, each year is 357 days long, each day being 24 hours.

The calendar is divided into 12 months, where the first 9 all have 30 days, and the last 3 have 29 days each. Weeks are a standard 7 days.

Note that this calendar is valid for the characters' starting region. Other places have their own calendars.

  • Tradesday : Traditional trading day. Markets which are not open daily usually set up this day.

  • Sunday : This day is named after Virana's Sun.
