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 Morrowwen 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.
