The Standard Phael Calendar dates back at least to Saint Inoxpheles and the founding of the Phael Church. However, many of its important dates, festivals and seasonal benchmarks coincide with earlier pagan accounts of the passing of time.
The Calendar traditionally begins in spring with the first of the new year occuring (according to tradition) on the day of the thaw.
