The World Of Khoras - Physical World

The Calendar of Khoras

Due to the complex nature of the orbital patterns of the binary star system, Mektor and planet, each season passes through nine stellar phases each lasting nine days. The major nations of most continents have adopted some form of Common Calendar which evolved from the calendar of the Thullian Empire of ages past. This Common Calendar is divided up into twelve months. Each month has three weeks. Each week is nine days long. The actual names of the months vary, but the seasons and stellar positions do not.
