Calendar
While much of the world was in slave wars between nations and realms, in the lower Tevanial mountains of what is now Kaxakroal, bordering Freyholt, a Chyas Gouvr, named Brraan Marrowwen began studying the orbits of the alru and roia, and then developed a calendar from them.
A new year begins when Merroi eclipses Verroi. The light show of a white sun with a golden ring around it.
A month is based on the orbits of Onalru and Pualru.
A week is based on Vialru.
Kaalru was apparently not in orbit at the time Marrowwenn created his calendar.
Though the year was lost during the Kaatyclyzym, and a new year count began, it was later revealed to the people by the Eternals whom had kept track from the Alru. There are some who still hold to the Post Great Kaatyclyzym count, but official records use the original BM calendar reinstated by the Eternals.

All time pieces are required to be magically imbued to automatically set the correct time at the New Years Crossing of Merroi in front of Verroi, at the Burst. Therefore, all time pieces have exact time of the year at the longitude the piece was located on at the Burst.
