Understanding the Khassidian Calendar
The world of Khassid follows a unique calendar known across the world as the Aelorian Reckoning. This calendar blends celestial timekeeping with divine rhythms, ancestral rites, and seasonal flow. It is used by all major civilizations and serves as the basis for trade, worship, diplomacy, and memory.
Days of the Week
Each week in Khassid consists of seven days. These names are commonly abbreviated on calendars, but each has deep cultural and symbolic meaning.
| Abbreviation | Full Name | Theme |

Each day is revered in its own way. Religious observances, rest days, and taboos often align with specific weekdays across various cultures.

The year is made up of 12 months, each with 28 days, structured to reflect a perfect four-week rhythm. Between every three months lies a special, week-long period known as a Resonance, which is not part of any month or week.

The Four Resonances
Resonances are week-long periods that fall outside standard months and weeks. Each Resonance has a specific spiritual and cultural tone recognized worldwide, though observed differently across regions and faiths.
| Name | Placement | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Sunhold Resonance | After Moonsworn (Month 3) | A week of planting, fertility, and collective celebration. Often marked by colorful festivals and local customs. |
| Crucible Resonance | After Goldroot (Month 6) | Trials of strength, adulthood rites, and community challenges. Commemorates the time of the Cataclysm. |
| Nightwane Resonance | After Hearthfall (Month 9) | A time of remembrance, harvest thanksgiving, and honoring the dead. Rituals vary from silent vigils to grand banquets. |
| Worldthrone Resonance | After Ashwake (Month 12) | The final reckoning of the year. Used for diplomacy, prophecy, and peace. Most wars cease during this Resonance across Khassid. |

Lunar Observance
Khassid has two moons — ancient celestial twins whose synchronized phases influence tides, dreams, and magical currents. Though they are not directly tied to the calendar’s structure, they are frequently marked in religious and arcane observance.
