Talk:Zunidh

Word of Victoria
July 18 2022, 8:26 am: So at one point I had this idea that there are actually seven different calendars in common use on Zunidh, depending on where in the world you were and for what purpose you needed them for. The 'official' calendar the court uses is maintained by the Ouranatha--it needs maintenance because of all the weird time stuff that continues to be in effect, if less severely than immediately after the Fall.

Thus it is going to be difficult to come up with a coherent timeline, because it's ... not. (I know this is an affront to most right-thinking people, I accept this and it does greatly peeve and bother many people on Zunidh as well.)

The Silverheart festival was at the winter solstice on Ysthar before the Fall (northern hemisphere), and has no relation to the solstices and equinoxes on Zunidh.

Astandalan year-counts started on the Accession Day of a new emperor (like years named after consuls in the Roman Empire), but there was also an over-arching year-count from the theoretical founding of Astandalas by Yr the Conqueror.

As HR is both the Last Emperor and Lord of Zunidh, I think "Emperor Day" celebrates his original accession to the throne as emperor, and "Accession Day" celebrates his taking up the title of Lord of Zunidh.
