Days of the Week: in the Eionic calendar, there are three ten-day periods in each month, called “tennights.” Therefore, the twentyfirst day of August in our calendar would be more or less the third Firstday of Oktamene. See the explanation under “Months” for more information.
Firstday Sunsday Moonsday Skyday Windsday Stonesday Fireday Watersday Godsday Lastday Months: each Eion month is thirty days long, divided into three tendays, with five intercalary days between the end of the year—
Orphan’s Day—and the first day of the new year, also known as Firstday or Year Day—thus month/month correspondents are liable to differ by a few days: the first day of Trimene in Southmarch is not the exact same day as March 1st on our calendar.
