Months and Holidays

Months of the Year

There are 365 days in the year, split up into twelve months of thirty days each with five holidays that fall between some months. The names of the months are given in both the formal names and the common ones. The seasons run like they do for us; Hammer is like January and Flamerule is like July. Each week consists of ten days, called tendays.
