Pavvian Calendar
UpdatedThe Pavvian calendar was first established by the early indigenous tribes brought from the Feywild over 3000 years ago. It was later adopted by the New Jiksidurians and the Pilgrim States. It has seen little change in that time.
- There are 365 days in a year.
- There are 13 months, each comprised of 28 days.
- There is 1 intercalary day (Transit Day) which sits between each year.
Days of the Week
Moonsday
Honoring the Moon — Traditionally, a day of rowdy nighttime festivities and celebrations; borrowed from the early nomadic tribes who would dance beneath a full moon to honor Elara the Luminary for her protection
Timberday
Honoring the Trees — Some of the oldest and earliest inhabitants of Pavv were treants awakened by the Archdruid Obree. Their age and innate wisdom led many to become gifted orators, community leaders, and spiritual advisors.
Knightsday
Honoring Tribal Protectors — The Moonsworn Knights were a battalion of dedicated protectors who traveled from tribe to tribe, offering their services in defense against the perilous monsters and beasts that threatened the lands. Though they are no longer present, their memory lives on in the communities that survive today thanks, in part, to their sacrifices.
Wealenwoe
Honoring Midweek — Bastardization of “Weal and Woe”. A name adopted from the sentiment many shared about the day, as it sits in the middle of the week, the farthest point away from the traditional day of festivities (Moonsday) and the traditional day of rest (Shadowsong).
Firesday
Honoring Wildfires — After several years of devastating wildfires in the northern parts of the continent, it was decided to label one day a week in honor of Pyrona the Blaze in the hopes of protecting their land. Though wildfires have occurred since then, none have had the same intensity and destructive potential.
Swordsday
Honoring Militias — A day to commemorate martial training, particularly among the youth and common folk. In a land overflowing with dangerous creatures and magical threats, being able to defend oneself is a mandatory skill.
Shadowsong
Honoring The Gilded Union — Traditionally a day of rest in honor of Seraphina the Joybringer and Aetherion the Harmonious. It is said the best way to forget a stressful day is to “Join a lover beneath the veil of a tree and make music amongst the shadows.”
