Imperial Calendar

While the country of Camaros lies fractured, the long-used calendar system remains in place. In the calendar that is most widely used across Camaros and the rest of the world is fairly similar to our own calendar with a few exceptions.

There are twelve months and four seasons, but the year starts with the first month of spring, the beginning of the cycle, ending with winter, the end of the cycle. There are thirty days in each month with five days of the week and five days at the end of the year which are not a part of any month, called Relique Quinque Dies, which acts as a five day event to close out the year.

Before the week of Relique Quinque Dies, many make a pilgrimage to their home towns and several head to the Imperial City where there are special events on every day, with a huge festival on the final day, consisting of a parade ending at a fairground where there is dancing, singing, competitions, and games.

The years have been counting from one since the calendar was instituted with the years prior being considered “pre-dated”, annotated as p.d. when written down.
