Atlantean Calendar

The Atlantean Calendar is not as widespread as prior to the fall of Atlantis, but it is still sometimes used in the calculation of long-term dates or for tracking periods of time.

The principal of this time cycle is that one year is 365 days. There are 11 months in a year, four weeks in a month, and eight days in a week. The remaining 13 days are referred to as their own period, Brevitas, and are used by sages to calculate the precise calendar of the coming year. The significance of Brevitas varies from culture to culture - some consider it an auspicious time, others inauspicious.

While scholars use Atlantean Reckoning, counting years before and after the founding of the Atlantean empire, it is more common in everyday use to hear monarchs or events referred to. For example, a business arrangement might last, "until the eleventh year of Imperator Remigius' reign," or that a settlement was founded, "twenty-three years after the last eruption of the Cthonic mountain."
