There are two main calendar systems in use today on Calémere: the Western and the Chlouvānem ones — the Western calendar has spread to most continents due to colonization, while the Chlouvānem calendar is in use in the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]] and fellow countries of the Eastern Bloc (except for Greater Skyrdagor, which uses the native Skyrdagor Calendar for cultural events and the Western one for business). Both main calendars are based on the 418-day long solar year, but are very different in their treatment of months (none of them link actual months to the moon): the Chlouvānem calendar has 14 months of mostly 30 days (four of them have 29 and two have 31), while the Western one has 29 periods of 14 days and a special one, halfway through the year, of 12. Neither calendar has a concept similar to our week.<br/>A further difference between them is that in the Western calendar, days begin at midnight; in the Chlouvānem one, they begin at dawn. | |||
The Western year's first day is in the middle of the northern hemisphere winter; the Chlouvānem year's is the autumn equinox (the first day of the Western year is the 139th of the Chlouvānem one). | |||
