It is believed the balance of the calendar was created by Vecia, the immortal of time and fate. This calendar was gifted to the race of dragons at the time of world birth. Since this time, the calendar has been passed around as common knowledge and preserved.

It takes exactly 364 days for the world of Halestia to revolve around its nearest star, Asv. The calendar consists of 12 months, each containing 30 days. Every month contains 5 weeks of 6 days. Seasons last for three months, after which, either an equinox or solstice is observed on a single day outside of any month. Many cultures observe festivals and holidays on these days. Thus, the days of the year fall into 4 seasons separated by the four solar events.
