(Lore)
Months and Lunar Cycles:
6 lunar months, each lasting 30-31 days (totaling approximately 184 days).
Each month corresponds to one full lunar cycle, and all months are evenly distributed throughout the year.
-
Month Names:
Lunara
Astrael
Selenis
Virela
Thalaria
Zenithar
_
To balance the calendar, we can alternate between 30- and 31-day months. With 6 months and a 184-day year, this structure would ensure an even distribution:
Lunara: 31 days
Astrael: 30 days
Selenis: 31 days
Virela: 30 days
Thalaria: 31 days
Zenithar: 31 days
This structure totals 184 days, keeping the calendar balanced.
_
Day Naming:
Each month will have 8 days per week. These names will repeat cyclically every week across each month.
-
Day Names:
Vela
Aurion
Lira
Ildris
Maelon
Solis
Ceras
Olius
-
Seasons:
Spring: Lunara, Astrael
Summer: Selenis, Virela
Autumn: Thalaria
Winter: Zenithar
_
Holidays and Special Days:
Solfarans organize holidays around historical events or accomplishments rather than seasonal or celestial events.
The universal festival days or intercalary days are not necessary with the new 184-day orbit, ensuring an even and balanced calendar.
-
Time Structure:
Each day lasts 28 hours, divided into more or slightly longer minutes and hours than Earth’s 24-hour system.
28 hours per day.
51 minutes per hour (or optionally 52 minutes).
60 seconds per minute.

(Not Lore, this has to do with time passing irl in correlation with rp time)
Years and the Passage of Time:
1 week = 1 month.
6 weeks = 1 year.
(Irl time - Solfara time)
The current year is "5AD".
AD stands for "After Darkness" referring to the end of the Solfaran Dark Age.
The time period before "AD" is "ID" for example: "5ID".
ID means "In Darkness" referring to the Solfaran Dark Age.
Extras:
The system in which time passes in correlation with our time and rp time will be changed in the future. For now this is the system which will be implemented.
