Tritanian Calendar¶
Description¶
The Tritanian Calendar is composed of 12 Moons, each lasting 31 days. The current calendar begins on the day that the walls of The Gate were breached during the Great Sack. Years are therefore referenced as after the Sack or after the Great Sack, commonly written as AGS.
Dates are counted inclusively forward to the next one of three principal days within each moon:
-
Kalends : First Day of the Moon
-
Nones : Fifth Day of the Moon
-
Ides : Thirteenth Day of the Moon
Thus, a date is typically written as:
The Dth Day before the Primary of the Mth Moon, Y years after the Great Sack
This can be shortened to:
D Primary of Moon M, Y AGS
Or more compactly:
YY MM DPrim
So for example, the following three phrases all refer to the same date:
- 570Y 3M 15KAL
- 15 Kalends of Moon 3, 570 AGS
- The 15th Day before the Kalends of the 3rd Moon, 570 years after the Great Sack
