# Introduction The Coligny Calendar was adopted and popularized by the Aldbine Empire during the [[Sylvan Era]]. The calendar has four seasons, eight months, four weeks, and six days. It originated in ancient [[Korrigan]] culture, derived for use in farming. # Seasons The four seasons of the Coligny Calendar are: Sal, Doth, Bas, and Ogair. ## Sal Season of Life. It encompasses the months of Avair, Firue, and Dalloch. ## Doth Season of Fire. It correlates to the months of Dalloch, Scorch, and Murk. ## Bas Season of Death. The months of Murk, Deluge, and Shiner occur during Bas. ## Ogair Season of Ice. Ogair occurs during the months of Shiner, Shiver, and Avair. # Months The eight months of the Coligny Calendar are: Avair, Firue, Dalloch, Scorch, Murk, Deluge, Shiner, and Shiver. ## Avair The month of Ogair and Sal. As the world begins to thaw, nature awakens. Snow occurs less often and hibernating flora and fauna begin to awaken. ## Firue The month of Sal. The rains of life begin to fall across the land. Trees regrow their leaves, and flowers begin to bloom. This is the prime month for sowing most crops. ## Dalloch The month of Sal and Doth. The sun begins to warm the earth during this most critical growth period for most plants. ## Scorch The month of Doth. The world is baked in the heat of the sun. Dehydration is a concern during this month. ## Murk The month of Doth and Bas. A time of harvest. Farmers race against time to beat the approaching march of the next month. ## Deluge The month of Bas. The rains of death flood the earth, destroying any flora and fauna ill-prepared for the harsh weather conditions. ## Shiner The month of Bas and Ogair. Frost begins to cover the earth as the waters of Deluge recede. While some flora and fauna have already hibernated prior to the flooding of the earth, a majority of hibernation begins to take place during this month. ## Shiver The month of Ogair. Freezing winds grip the earth and blizzards blow across the land. Wildlife that remains awake lives through a fierce battle for survival. # Weeks The four weeks of the Coligny Calendar are March, Ides, Twigh, and Fade. ## March Days of March are considered to be "Marching". These days are seen as proclaiming the new month proudly. ## Ides The Ides of a month have days that are referred to be "hiding" within said month. In some regions, the days are said to be "idling", as if they are days sitting in reserve. ## Twigh The Twigh week of a month has days that are "Twinkling", signifying the end of the month in sight. Some say the twinkling refers instead to the "treasure" of the month, holding the fruit of the month within it. ## Fade The Fading week of a month are the final days of the month, disappearing before our eyes. These days truly are "fading". # Days The six days of the Coligny Calendar are: Sam, Cor, Fas, Beal, Gib, Crion. The date is spoken by year, week, day, month i.e. "3019th Marching Crion of Shiver"
