Celestial Calendar

The Year Cycles: The Celestial Traders’ calendar is based on the moon cycles (29 days) and counts 12.5 moon cycles per year. Once a decade, the last moon isn’t counted to partially reset the calendar, and once every century, the first moon isn’t counted either to maintain the periodicity of years. The year starts during the first moon past

the winter solstice.
