Description

The most popular Eoran calendaring system is a lunar cycle based system, similar to the Gregorian calendar used today.

It is commonly referred to as the calendar or the common calendar as opposed to other time keeping systems in use.

Usage

The common calendar is used in all major human nations across all three continents, as well as on Zorander Isle. It is also the default calendar used by sailors and merchants, regardless of the cultures they hail from. It is the official calendar of the kingdom of Westmarch.

This calendar system is used by most races that live in, or trade with human kingdoms. This includes High Elves, Gnomes, Halflings, Half-Orcs as well as many Ogre, Orc tribes.

Some factions follow their own time keeping traditions. Those include:

  • Some Dwarf clans use the Dwarven Calendar
  • Many Wood Elf tribes use Druidic Calendars
  • Dragonborn kingdoms use their own calendaring system
