The Paradisian Calendar System is perhaps the greatest surviving legacy of the ancient age & the single most powerful unifying factor for the inhabitants of Paradisus. Rediscovered shortly after the world-altering Spore Diffusion Cataclysm, this ancient system was retooled for the Modern Era, being adopted across cultural & societal boundaries, charting time primarily based on the movements of the twin moons (A Mirabilian Month) & main star (A Mirabilian Year), thus serving to provide the rhythm for all of life on the continent.
The Calendar System is, astonishingly accurate, being based on Mirabilis' rotation around its own axis, as well as its revolution around the main star. This means that a Mirabilian
- Year has 13 Months
- Month has 5 Weeks
- Week has 6 Days
- Day is 30 Earth Hours long.
The 13 Months of the Year
- Bulan Tsukihajime – The 1st Month
- Bulan Kazegetsu – The 2nd Month
- Bulan Mitsugiki – The 3rd Month
- Bulan Hoshizora – The 4th Month

- Bulan Kagerou – The 6th Month
- Bulan Yorugetsu – The 7th Month
- Bulan Akigiki – The 8th Month
- Bulan Fuyugiki – The 9th Month
- Bulan Yukigiki – The 10th Month
- Bulan Arashi – The 11th Month
- Bulan Harugetsu – The 12th Month
- Bulan Shingetsu – The 13th Month
The 5 Weeks of the Month
- Siman Hoga – Week 1
- Siman Ryutei – Week 2
- Siman Ryusei – Week 3
- Siman Genzei – Week 4
- Siman Shumaku – Week 5
The 6 Days of the Week

- Qadlaw Ayumi – The 2nd Day
- Qadlaw Chowa – The 3rd Day
- Qadlaw Kage – The 4th Day
- Qadlaw Saisei – The 5th Day

Though meticulously accurate, providing a singular, unwavering rhythm for all of life, the true origins of the calendar remain unknown, adding another layer of mystery to this unifying system. It is a perfect artifact of the ancient age & a constant reminder to the inhabitants of Paradisus that their current culture is built upon the technological & magical understanding of those who lived before the Cataclysm.
This ancient system transcends the cultural divisions of the continent, ensuring that every citizen lives & plans according to the same universal time.
