The major seasons consist of four months of 32 days each. Within each season, the months are called Amt (First), Baot (Second), Anshi (Third), and Tamith (Fourth). Holy season is a single 32 day month at the end of the calendar, and is called Alak Neteru (Season of the Gods) by the Faithful and Alak Suha (Season of Contemplation) by the Devoted.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Days &amp; Weeks</strong></span></span></div><br>Each month is broken down into four weeks of seven days, plus four extra days at the beginning. The weeks are<br>numbered using the same notation as the four months of the each season. The seven days of the week are called Yaus al-Maat (Day of Balance), Yaus al-Kemi (Day of Flour), Yaus al-Hamala (Day of Lambs), Yaus al-Sesht (Days of Scribes), Yaus al-Niwt (Days of Houses), Yaus al-Ittrou (Day of the River), and Yaus al-Nefar (Day of Freedom).<br><br>The first four days of each month, which always fall during the new moon, are sacred holidays, being considered<br>very unfortunate times to do anything except pray to the gods (Faithful) or contemplate the Hamad in order<br>to ensure one is living in accordance with Asaheem's way (Devoted). It is especially unlucky to conduct business<br>deals, weddings, funerals, battles, or anything else of significance during this time. As a result, the four religious<br>holidays have no name, and when citizens must refer to one of the four days, they do in general terms such as,<br>“tomorrow” or “in two days.”<br><br>In order to give a specific date list the week number, the day, the month number, and the season. For instance,&nbsp; Anshi Yaus al-Sesht boat Alak Paret translates literally as, “The third Day of Scribes in the second month of Harvest Season.”&nbsp; Using the translation is fine.&nbsp; <strong>We are starting the game on: The first Day of Houses in the first month of Harvest Season</strong><br><br><div align="center">Calendar (http://plothook.net/tools/calendar.html)</div>
