Luxterran Calendar
"Time is the true King of my realm, for everyone from the humble farmer to the most opulent nobleman relies on Wisheamu Wachumagel from when they wake to when they lay to rest." - Sumun the Great, First King of the Eagelians
Sumun's Calendar, better known as the Luxterran Calendar is the standard calendar used across Luxterra and Morrigon, as well as used in the game itself. Introduced by Sumun the Great of the Eagelians, the calendar was firmly established and codified during his thirty-three-year reign. Following his death and the subsequent rise of the Zani Empire, the calendar was edited to include two more months by Zanis the Great himself, and spread across both continents as well as to major trading partners of the Empire, largely adopted for its accuracy.
Format
The most modern Luxterran Calendar is split into 12 months (Lizani : Imperial Zani) that fit into one year (Wistem : Imperial Zani). Each month has around 23 to 31 days depending on whether it is a leap year or not.

The second month of the year and the second month added by Zanis the Great. Knowing his journey across eternity would be tiring, Zanis honored his most loyal soldier, Cyrogelos, by etching his name into time itself, thus ensuring that he would never leave his general's side in his eternal march.
