Aoma/Calendar

Aoma uses the astroelemental calendar of Sceptre and Centre focusing on heavenly bodies and sunpath signs.

History

The astroelemental calendar was formed during the fifth era and spread during the sixth era Age of Forgetting under Tyranny of West. The long war required gatherings of the learned spellcasters from both Centre and Sceptre in order to find an antidote for the alchemical mind-weapon Blank. Events following the Ahuelnian comet increased the interest in divine affairs.

Structure

In the calendar, 378 halol of jeela are divided into six segments, masirrol, with 63 halol:

• Each masirra begins with a 2-hala seasonal elemental ceremony, wyla.
• The two 30-hala periods, hezalol, are named according to Halla's position in the temple of sky (astrological signs of sunpath).
  • The hezalol of masirra are separated by 1-hala astrological ritual day, bebiwala, celebrating a certain heavenly body.

One jeela also consists of two 189-hala halves dedicated to Death and Life, winter and summer.
