Calendar

In the world of Fort Vickery, there are no established names for days of the week, nor are there months. Days are counted from (or, rarely, too) a given day. Most often this is the spring equinox, but other special days can be used. A full year from spring equinox to spring equinox is 384 days, but shorter time periods of a Tenday (which is just what it sounds like) or a 100 day "Season." This means that 4 Seasons exceeds the length of a calendar year. It is common among the working classes to be paid "four seasons a year" which means that a worker is paid for 16 extra days work at the end of a completed year's service.

Years are likewise counted from important events (most often the reign of a local monarch). The Vickery ODF arrived at Fort Vickery in a year which could be called:
 * The 23rd year of King Minot's reign.
 * The 14th year of King Pierre III's reign.
 * The 312th year since the Rising of the Seven Suns.
 * The 478th year of the Ta-rey Federation.
 * The 5th year of the Twin Kingdoms.
 * The 5th year of the Wedding Gift Alliance.
