Calendar

Page history last edited by Jessie 1 yr ago

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.

 

Here the months are presented in the following format: #. Sevillan Name (etymology)/Harkalle Name (etymology)/Earth Equivalent time period//# of days

 

Spring

  • 1 . Cancellaro (from the Sevillan word for "gate") / Thawdona (from the Old Harkalle words for "thaw" and "door") / Late February-Early March
  • 2 . Fiorento (from the Sevillan word for flower) / Engledren (from the Old Harkalle for impregnate) / Late March-Early April
  • 3 . Barcomero (from the Sevillan word for sailor- it was the time of calm seas) / Kru-aroa (from a spring fertility festival) / Late April- Early May

 

Summer

  • 4 . Canido (from Sevillan for Dog- it heralded a Sevinic dog festival) / (Late May-Early June)
  • 5 . Calladia (from Sevillan for hot) / Tyrsvard (from Old Harkalle for Tyrako, the fire god's sword) / Late June-Early July
  • 6 . Miraglio (from the Sevinic plague goddess, most disease came seasonally in late summer) / Kragyr (from the god of labor) / Late July- Early August

 

Autumn

  • 7 . Zuccado (from the Sevillan for Pumpkin) / Eirebloom (remarking on the second flowering of Eiregeyze plants during this month) / Late August-Early September
  • 8 . Luzovio (from a Pagan Harvest Festival) / Sceethaer (from the Old Harkalle for Scythe-weilder) / Late Semptember-Early October
  • 9 . Tremero (from the Sevillan for tremble, as in leaves) / Ancenrind (from a particular Harkanian wind thought to be holy) / Late October- Early November

 

Winter

  • 10 . Fruelldo (from Sevillan for frost) / Priesis (the Saint that paints ice on the trees) / Late November-Early December
