Time
Time in the world of Avaria flows similarly to that of Earth, with a year of 365 days and distinct seasons that nevertheless vary from one region to another. Avarian time also has a direct 1:1 correspondence to real time (US EST or EDT), though the standard calendar used by most Avarians in the hemisphere makes use of distinctly named weekdays and months. The Avarian New Year also begins on April 1st, after an eleven-day spring equinox festival season.
Months of the Year
The same basic calendar is used across much of the known world, with twelve months of 28-31 days that correspond to real-world months. The names of the months differ between the two most widely used calendars, the Sirdabi calendar and the Kalentoi calendar, but they nevertheless share the same zodiacal signs.
