Calendar

Introduction

This is the standard calendar used within all Numbers universes within Timelines. Outside of Timelines, time is somewhat unlinear and they don't use days, months, or years. Below are marked the "standard" holidays, but individual universes may have more and more specific celebrations (but never less than shown below).

Note: the words "solstice" and "equinox" are used, but do not imply the universes within Numbers are planets or have an axial tilt; to them, they're simply words referencing the corresponding holidays.

Each month lasts 31 days exactly. A year is 403 days long exactly.

Days of the Week

All days are exactly 24 hours long, but the amount allocated to day/night depends on the season. Jarusday is considered the beginning of the week.

Weekdays are typical work days.
Midweek is a work day with shorter hours, serving as a break.
Weekends typically are free of work.

Allseason

Allseason is a unique, one-month-long season that occurs at the start of every year. It is so heavily associated with the month of Amaridan that they are often referred to as one and the same - "Amaridan" coming to mean "Allseason" and being used in that fashion. Allseason contains a random assortment of unpredictable weather, making it difficult to grow crops or prepare properly. Winter could persist throughout Amaridan, or summer may randomly arrive in the middle - all that can be done is prepare for the worst.

As Allseason and Winter fade away, the soft showers of Spring welcome the start of a new year. Crops are planted, flowers emerge from the ground, and the weather returns to a pleasant temperate in most worlds.
