Months
%% Used when custom_calendar is on. One per line, in order: name, number of days, and a leap rule if it has one:
"Poa, 27, +1 every 4" or "+1 every 4, except every 100, but every 400". A 0-day month with a rule is a leap month.
If the calendar changes partway through history, add another section such as "## Months (from 1100)".
Write "Modern" in a dated section to switch back to January to December. %%

Weekdays
%% Used when custom_calendar is on. One per line, starting with the weekday of the first day of year 1.
A dated section such as "## Weekdays (from 1100)" starts its week on the first day of that year. %%

- Syl'vun'in
- Shi'vun'in
- U'lea'vun'in
- Ghi'lan'vun'in
- Hamiin'vun'in

Moons
%% One per line: name, days per cycle, days after the first day of year 1 that it was new.
Moons belong to the world, so every calendar shows them. Leave empty for Earth's moon on the modern calendar. %%
Eras
%% How years are numbered. Easiest to change with Edit calendar. One era per line, oldest first:
name (short form), length in years (blank: open-ended), how its years count, and optionally how they're written.
- Before Christ (BC/BCE), , down to 1 395 BC … 1 BC
- Anno Domini (AD), , up from 1 1 AD, 2 AD …
- Ancient, , up to -1, "{y} {short}" -1195 Ancient … -1 Ancient
- Divine Age (Divine), 100, up from 1 1 Divine … 100 Divine
era_repeat: 100 in the properties keeps adding eras of that length after the last one. Empty: BC and plain years. %% - Founding of Arlathan (FA), , up from 1
History
%% The easy way to add holidays is the Holidays tab, under History. You can also write them here,
one per line: "Name: day Month". Add years in brackets for when it was kept, and a note after a comma:
- Midwinter Feast: 1 Frostmoon
- Founders' Day: 3 Frostmoon (from 1012)
- Feast of Lanterns: 14 Seedtime (until 1050), forgotten after the Grey Plague
- Harvest Night: last Moonday of Seedtime
Lines that start with a date are history notes, shown on the timeline and calendar: - 1050: The Grey Plague. Nobody lights the lanterns that autumn. %%
