Iplo Calendar

The Iplo Calendar was created by a Grung named Iplo around ~1600 ATC. Iplo was an intelligent ocean trader that needed a way to consistently schedule her travels so she would be perceived as reliable business partner. The calendar is loosely based on her travels to Free Isles of Yachtingham but as a trader she cared less about the agrarian seasons and more about how the ocean air would effect her soaking schedule.

Time is measure with 1 second in a minute. 60 minutes in an hour. 24 hours in a day. The first half of the day the suns are rising, the are the AM (ante meridiem) hours. The second half of the day are grouped as PM (post meridiem) hours.

Each month consists of 6 weeks with each week made up of 5 days. The days of the week are referred to as Onesday, Twosday, Threesday, Foursday, and Fivesday.

There are 13 months in the year listed below:


 * 1) Shadow's Fall
 * 2) First Breeze
 * 3) Parched Sky
 * 4) Empty Flask
 * 5) Seran's Height
 * 6) Ashai's Height
 * 7) Patient Sky
 * 8) First Rain
 * 9) Last Breeze
 * 10) Shadow's Growth
 * 11) Seran's Seclusion
 * 12) Ashai's Seclusion
 * 13) Ocean's Above

Each month has 6 weeks except for Ocean's above. Ocean's above is exactly 1 week long and may take place anywhere between Shadow's Growth and Shadow's Fall. There is typically a monsoon in this period of time at the beginning of the week that the mon soon happens that week will be renamed to Ocean's above and the following week continues at the beginning of the week that was replaced. No sane person would schedule an event during ocean's above as it's time can be unpredictable. The week long monsoon usually delays life and events of Malovia so any scheduled events happening during Ocean's above are reschedule for the same day the following week to maintaining there previously assigned calendar day.

Each year does not perfectly line up with the solar year but discrepancies over time are typically blamed on poorly recorded timings of Ocean's Above as the calendar slowly drifts out of alignment with the solar year. One day an astronomer might correct this by adjusting the length of Ocean's above depending on the year but at this time no one has thought to do that.

Just like the day the year is broken into 2 seasons. Suns rising and suns falling. Shadow's fall to Ashi's Height would be Suns rising. Patient Sky to Ashi's Seclusion is Suns falling.
