Marai: The Long Dark

D&D (3.5)

The campaign will begin on the 5th Day of Umbanth, 444 NC.

Created over 400 years ago, the New Calendar is the culmination of astrological studies and scientific advances conducted by researchers at University Daboure in the Habrin Empire. Though it was originally created specifically for that region, it quickly spread throughout the Four Colonies of Shadree as the standard method of tracking the passage of days.

The New Calendar year is 392 days long, with an adjustment of one additional day required every five years. This day is treated as being outside the Calendar and is referred to as the Forgotten Day. (Through the years, this has become a day of forgiveness)

There are fourteen month with the seasons of Summer and Winter receiving four months, and Spring and Autumn receiving three. Each year begins on the day where the Father Star is at His highest point in the sky, in the middle of Summer.

Finally, each month is named after one of the Gods, the Elemental Lords, or one of the Four Dragons, with the exception of Ortar, Lord of Hate. Below are the names of the months, the season to which they belong, and the number of days within. There are no names for individual days of the week, and dates are written as a numerical value, followed by the month, followed by the year.
