Eternal Record / Hall of Chronology
The unified calendar by which Khassid measures time, records history, and marks the sacred thresholds of the year.
Approved for circulation among the general populace by order of the Aelorian Archives.
Chronological instrument and public calendar record preserved for civic, ritual, and historical reference.
The calendar below reflects the present passage of time within Khassid as it is observed. For every one hour that passes here, three hours pass in Khassid.
The Aelorian Reckoning is the unified system by which all of Khassid measures time. It governs trade, ritual, governance, and historical record, providing a shared structure across nations, cultures, and faiths.
Its structure is constant: twelve months of twenty-eight days, divided into seven-day weeks, and punctuated by four Resonances, sacred intervals that exist outside the standard flow of time.
The following record preserves the common structure of the Reckoning and the calendar conventions used across Khassid.
Each week within the Aelorian Reckoning consists of seven days. While commonly abbreviated in recordkeeping and navigation, each day carries distinct cultural and symbolic associations that influence ritual, labor, and governance across Khassid.
The Reckoning is composed of twelve months, each containing twenty-eight days, forming a consistent four-week structure.
Resonances are sacred, week-long thresholds that mark the turning of each seasonal quarter. Each contributes to the full annual count of 364 days while remaining distinct from the standard month cycle.
Each Resonance carries a world-spanning cycle of observance, recognized across nations and cultures regardless of variation in practice.
Certain days carry consistent cultural weight, shaping common practices across regions.
Formal dates within the Aelorian Reckoning follow a consistent structure used across recordkeeping, trade, governance, and historical documentation.
[Weekday], [Day] of [Month]
Example: Dusara, 14th of Highvein
During Resonance periods, dates are recorded without numerical day markers tied to a month.
[Ordinal Day] of the [Resonance Name]
Example: First Day of the Crucible Resonance
Years within the Aelorian Reckoning are formally categorized relative to the Cataclysm, the defining temporal event of recorded history.
Example (Post-Cataclysm): Dusara, 14th of Highvein, 425 P.C.
Example (Pre-Cataclysm): Velmara, 3rd of Moonsworn, 12 Pr.C.
In most contemporary contexts, dates are assumed to be Post-Cataclysm unless otherwise specified.
Khassid is orbited by two moons whose cycles are closely observed across cultures, faiths, and disciplines. While they do not determine the structure of the Aelorian Reckoning, their phases are understood to influence tides, dreams, omens, and the interpretation of arcane phenomena.
The movements of the twin moons are most often referenced in divination and prophetic practice, tidal navigation and seafaring, dream interpretation and omen-reading, and arcane experimentation and ritual alignment.
These alignments are not governed by fixed doctrine. Their significance is expressed through cultural belief, ritual practice, and localized teaching.
