▲The Bormar Calendar is the primary source of time-keeping, and day-tracking within '''[[Bormar]]''' and some '''[[Adzjab]]''' Tribes. The Bormar Calendar improved on, succeded and standardised the previous 'Ereben Calendar'. The Ereben Calendar was invented and administrated within Bormar's capital of '''[[Ereben]].''' The Bormar Calendar officially started on the 8th Day of the 5th month, 608.
== Calendar StyleMonths and Days ==
The Bormar Calendar has split the years' 365 days into twelve months, which are further divided into weeks of seven days, making 52 total weeks. The names of days and months are not officially named by the '''[[First House]]''', and are written instead by their number (e.g., the 17th Day of the 3rd Month).
=== Changes from the Ereben Calendar ===
The Bormar Calendar, unlike the Ereben Calendar, decreased the average year-length from 365.25 days, to 365.2425 days to reduce 'time-shift', the act of the calendar drifting off from the real dates.
Before the automation within the Bormar Calendar, the Ereben Calendar was operated by a group of Lords and Ladies who would manually add and remove days, as well as organise month-length.
=== Leap Years ===
The Bormar Calendar also introduced the landmark concept of 'Leap Years', adding one additional day, usually every 4 years, to further reduce the time-shift of the Ereben Calendar. Leap Years will occur every 4 years, unless that year is perfectly divisible by 100, unless that division is perfectly divisible by 400 years.
=== The 'Year of Pitch' ===
While the Bormar Calendar was being Finalised, '''[[Dwarf|Dwarven]]''' astronomists concluded that the Mismanaging of the Ereben Calendar during the '''[[Protest of the Nobles]]''' caused the calendar to be 59 days off. The Nobility spearheading the Bormar Calendar decided that those 59 days would be introduced into the first year of the Bormar Calendar, making Year 608 the longest ever year in recorded history, at 424 whole days. The reception of this longest year was wildly unhappy, with it being equated to 'Walking in Pitch' by the '''[[Bormar Times]]'''. The year was dubbed as the 'Year of Pitch' by Historians on the Calendar's centenary year of 708.
== Calendar Months, Days, and Seasons ==
The Bormar Calendar has split the 365.2425 days into twelve 'Months'. The days are further sub-divided into 'Weeks' of seven days, making 52 total weeks.
Days and Months are not officially named by the '''[[First House]]''', and are referred to by number (17th Day of the 3rd Month, etc.)
Small towns within the North-Eastern reaches of Bormar have taken to giving days and months colloquial names, such as 'Monday' for the first day of the week, and 'Sunday' for the last. Months are named by these groups in a similar pattern, 'Jantag' for the first month of the Calendar Year, and 'Dectag' for the final month.
